    Hey Nigel or anyone from that neck of the woods, what's happened to the Nostalgia drags in Queensland? I can't find anything on Willowbank's calendar or have they died a painful death due to lack of sponsorship? Peter

    What's the situation at Warwick? Can interlopers from another state come and play there at that event? I've just noticed the Nostalgias on the event page at Willowbank, so I might try to do both days as well, providing you can handle the competition. I'll have driven 9 hours to get to Warwick, what's another 2 hours to Willowbank to race the next day.
    I can't say I'd be happy running in the Hotrod bracket again, what with the deck stacking that went on last time, but, a run is a run.

    Obviously he couldn't handle the thought of a GM product from another state ,coming up there and making him earn his money. :D

    The downside to that is there is one less HAMBster in Queensland. That leaves 2, maybe 3 and that's not good for the bracket up there. The upside is it gives us 1 more racing at Sydney, even if it is Ford powered.

    Sure hope Nigel is staying in the game. His contributions to this site are invaluable. Not to mention informative and entertaining.

    OK, you're off the hook for now. Wish we had some pictures of the Hillman Old6Rodder had back in the mid '60s. Had some fun times in that car. :rolleyes:

    Nigel, Since you are painting already you are quite far along on the project. A full report would be nice. You know, driveline, anticipated e.t., that sort of thing.

    Sorry to see you leave the HA/GR ranks but you know what's best for you for the most fun. Good luck with the Hillman. I really favor little cars (I have a few) so if you post a build thread somewhere, I'd like to follow it.

    Very nice. Has it got a built chassis or just running original chassis. I ask because I've got an Austin A40 cab/chassis that's waiting for it's turn in the shed. Thinking Holden V8 or shit-hot six and 3 speed manual 'box to run at Nostalgias.
