Might be perfect timing for me...

Not much happening here
Booked my ticket Stateside for August
Didn't get to do motorcycle tech at Lake G so it looks like I'm doing motorcycle tech at Bonneville Speedweek again
My big decision this year is whether to rent a car or buy some thing to bring back to Aus
My Younger brother would like me to pick him up a 65 Fairlane and I wouldn't mind a 70's Chevelle to go with my Monaro
Any ideas?

Get a Guzzi :-), real motors have their webbing on the outside.

I also have a bevel ducati, R90s, and a few Jap bikes if that confuses you more, mostly bought at a lot less than pristine condition.

Fastback Mustang would look good next to the Monaro if you can look at nice cars rather than a brand.

I think you would be much happier with my 1935 Ford Fordor.  :-D Wayno

Meh
As do I

Grumm, you're thinking of my '36 Tudor. And the oil leak is an experiment to make sure I don't make that mistake in the Racing Car.  :-) The '35 is the green one parked in front of my shed and it has no nasty old oily motor in it. Wayno

No engine! I guess that would make it easier to push
You could just take the oil pressure gauge out of the '36. It's not like you need one

So, anyhow. I've paid for my ticket and arrive in LA on the 8th of August
So Goggles, Simon tells me you will be needing a lift to Wendover

Grumm,
Bind and drag him if you have to, he won't regret it.

My life is complicated and I see that my friends are now actively engaged in complicating it further.

So I guess I should check my inbox for letters of encouragement/harassment from Herrs Rodge and Freudenberger...........

Don's just jumped up..... there'll be a photo next.

Sorry, no photos just yet.
I have to keep something in the bank for blackmail. :evil:
Just bring the Mrs. along so she can take advantage of the exchange rate and boost our economy.

Ok Colonel here is my first suggestion,

not quite the Bathurst contender the Cooper S was but at least its RHD...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1971-Austin-Mini-Cooper-1380cc-RHD-Classic-/110893559442?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item19d1c56e92#ht_1160wt_1167

One of these little beuties could come in handy, especially given your postal history (RHD too!)

And finally, the pick of the litter: I think Cougars are still a little under rated in Oz, but I like them and reckon you'd get more than your money back:
