I think he did have a 26R, but that doesn't look like it. The guards are flared on a 26R, although those wheel spinners look like 26R ones - I'd need a better view. Most 26R's had fared-in headlights, but the very early ones still ran the pods

 

he did have a 26R white in colour ex Bob Jane.

Thanx Jon...sad

 

Another one... I think I'll retire before something catches up with me.

 

Group B, but I only run it in tarmac rallies and the occasional hill climb and sprint. Planning to do PI historics next year

 

Anyway, got water on the ignition after washing it the other day, and noticed the mess the wiring is in - no less than 4 crimp terminals holding the coil wires together, and lots of wires going nowhere. I rewired the car from the firewall back years ago, but never tackled under the bonnet. Anyway, ripped it all out and wired up the coil properly. Hopefully, I haven't unplugged anything important . Wheel alignment tomorrow, if I can get it out of my property (it's a little boggy). And if the road flooding has receded. And if I can get it started.

 

I did retired at 51 .Best move I ever made .

 

I didn't know you'd been retired for 30 years already.

Did you retire because your business went under? Asking for a friend.

 

Now THAT'S a lie

 

Nasty comment , oh wait its you !

My old Business is thriving , still Melbourne's largest private mortgage lenders ,still Melbourne's best know Loc doc/ no doc specialists .

You know why I retire at 51 ,18 months before I contracted Blastic Mantel Cell (cancer) and the specialist told me if I could to retire .

Sounds like retiring is a bad idea.

 

Moretti got the joke, you sour puss

Plus, it was a question. You know what "?" Is, right?

 

I don't go to doctors anymore!

 

Not at all the best move I ever made , we travel when we can , never take phones or Laptops , not a care in the world .
