I used to live on the Atherton Tablelands, so i was always crusing out to Malanda around Lake Eacham, Yungaburra, Tinaroo n back home to Tolga. Some decent open roads where u can wind it right out..... Just gotta watch out for stray cows!!!!!

Its kind of a shame my car is at the standard its at now, cause i WILL not thrash it anymore. So that means no hard driving, just potter around town..... I dont get to appreciate the 1330cc and the Spax/Adjustable suspension....

wow mate that car is phenomenal in its attention to detail. i love how you have carried the theme throughout the whole car.

I am also loving the engine bay. do you find it hard to keep that black shiny bay clean or is the carn ot driven often enough to worry about that???

congrats on ur car its beautiful

The car was built to a plan. Thats the only way to build a car. Gather ur ideas put them on paper and stick to em, no matter wat the cost or hassle. The engine and bay are always clean cause the car dosnt clock up enough k's. But it can be a hassle when it comes time to clean, i find instant shine works best on the motor. Its painted in 2 pac though. I just wash/chomois and polish the bay itself tho. When i drive it, its usually only for about 1 hour maybe once or twice a month, dependant on the weather..........

This car is a real credit to Brad, it needs to be seen in the flesh to truely appreciate the time spent, quality, detail and finish. It has been years in the making and it shows.

Good on you Brad and good to see it out. Look forward to our run. Steve

You're not suggesting a bit of hooning are you, couldn't possibly condone that

Engine is just a baby, 1293cc, the 45DCOE doesn't count for much really

Nah wat i meant to say was if we were to rapidly accelerate from a stand still, who would end up in front. Graham russell did ur head n cam as well didnt he? I really need to get mine on the dyno n tune those twin SU's so that i know 100% that its on the money n making as much power as it can.

I did book it into Cairns Dyno Tuning but that was a waste of time. I waited all day for them to look at it (took a day off work) n they never got round to it......

Will definatly have to stop off somewhere for a photoshoot!!!!

Not sure if i mentioned it already... But those Dunlop Formula R D01J's are a really good tyre. They are so much more positive than the yokys! Money well spent i reckon!!!
