Australian Belly Tank

[grumm441]

A luv affair with tanks, You're a damaged person Goggs. Aw hang on, I've got seven of the dam things.  
 Sid.

Including a street legal tank, which i recently saw a picture of front end in Australian Street Rodding magazine

It would be so nice if you could build stuff for the street here in Aus as easily as you can over there.
You almost need an approved engineers report to paint your car a different color here
I was looking at a sumpthink that resembled a '41 chev pickup at speedweek, Bonneville last year and commented to Kiwi Steve that I had sumpthink similar only mine had a chassis not two bits of 2' square with an axle at each end.
He looked at it and said " I would hope so"
So I'm going back outside to stare at my '41 Chev pickup. and see if that mitsubishi (no, not a curse word, a mitsubishi front end) front end will fit with out too much work. After all it is Australia day here, and a public holiday.

Hey If you aren't gonna use that HK front end I gave you lets fleabay it for beer money.....I think they're worth a bit...

L300 , classy!

Dr Goggles,
I have noticed that Grumm may not be interested in your opinion, as he places his fingers in his ears when ever you speak.

And by the way thank you for helping rid me of that crappy beer.

I can't be absolutely sure Don but I seem to remember at that point he was mouthing , " Stew, can you tell me when Don has stopped talking because that high pitched NorWest whine is making my ears ache"... 

...he is deeply interested in my opinion it is the basis for most of his jokes....he has been busy in the last hour using one of the social networking sites to message me about alternative powerplants for the little tank, oh yeah and a bottle of whiskey....I suggested he should get some ice and a big bottle of soda water. We all know whiskey should be drunk at room temperature by itself, if you must you could add water, solid or liquid and if you want to get really flash some CO2 in that water but if you go and put any sort of cordial in it then you're a heathen.

I drank that beer out of courtesy Don.

  I'm thinking, with Goggles getting married there's probably going to be a prenuptial. Something to the effect of no more then(.5 posts per day (he's at .7 now). His part, the kids names must be salt or sunshine derived. A boy,Salt Peter. Recommend going by his middle name. A girl,Saltina of course Tina for short. Now I have done my part to bring the subject up, Lets see if we can get some really good ones. It just occured to me that little Lady Goggle Goggle may already be in the womb.

Well, we do think about invading Wisconsin now and then, but usually we sit back, breathe deeply, and have a second thought.  After all -- if we did invade and take over -- what would we do with it?  Who needs all the cheese? :lol:

Yeah I did with the immediate circle,very, very well received... I didn't see the Street Rodding pic though.

Perhaps Grumm might enlighten us and clear this matter up.
I'm guessing he's ignoring both of us.
By the way if you ever venture to the Pacific wonderland [Oregon] I will treat you to a decent brew.

Don, that is an offer you might live to regret.

For the record ,people, Don was one of many people who showed us a welcome at Bonneville that I won't ever forget.We were welcomed like family. I was just telling a few friends some of the stories from the fortnight we spent in the US last August. Don gave me his 2011 competitors cap, If he would just send me his address I'll embroider it into the band, I want his young fella to wear that cap when he first goes through tech.

Oregon, hmmm , I know some other people there.....

I'd say fire up that stack of maple, make a great big caquelon out of an LP tank, and whip up some fondue.

Kate and I honeymooned at Wells State Park - Love the UP.

So Doc - those TB's would look really sweet atop the Holden, but are they big enough?

I think I may have been on the phone trying to get a clarification re rule 1.L about competitors showing signs of intoxication having to
turn over all their beer and ice to the nearest official.

[SPARKY]

it must be a ploy---I know of several LSR racers that might turn in their fire suit for Shirt and inspectors hat       

[salt27]

Dr Goggles,
As my crew chief, Gus received his own hat and you need that hat to substantiate any Speedweek embellishments that you wish to circulate.

With a little luck and a lot of work Gus will be a competitor at 2012 Speedweek.

All this talk about beer made me thirsty, I'm going for one right now.
