Hi everyone and Happy New Year to all!
We have fired up one of the Toranas for the trip to North Coast Street Machines Show at Ballina next weekend.
Just wondering who else will be attending from the Forum family to this well organised event, hope to catch up
with you there.
Cheers
Ronnie

Thorougly enjoyed the weekend and meeting most of you, shame i couldn't squeeze the UC in the line up but i was under strict orders not to spend the whole weekend talking car and for an early exit, the need was there to be close to the gate.

One question, Is it possible to create a GTX-M (modern) an adr compliant, tube frame, aluminium bodied or composite fibre, bulletproof, australian made marrige breaker, to prove that aussie manafacturing isn't dead. Too hard sounds a bit weak when you consider some of the challenge's you guys faced building your dreams and i think Quality creates a demand so viability in that case is almost a given.

I dont see why it would be any easier to do it with a bike. http://barbarianv8.c...lcome/page1.php

But i drive a UC so you all know i have issues.

Nah mate you don't have issues at all. as i said to you at the show. If Brocky won in a UC then they would be popular too. But we all just think they look ugly thats all.

I wonder if you gave that thing a gobfull of rev's will it lay on its side, would be interesting hammering it in a left hander.

Not game to try at all...

That stretched ute F-bitsa 3 pictured had in interesting theme "follow your dreams"

Im thinking GTX-M (GTR-M sounds like a nissan) "build it and they will come"

Dave you can be a fabricator ill let you in, any hatch will do me it's just a good thing.
Though I can kind of agree, I think if you see a UC in the revision mirror its not so bad, when it passes in a corner and the tail lights are seen the thought "oh sh!t comes to mind"

Nothings perfect but i had a good time.
