Gav has posted a lot in the gallery, worth a look!

Excuse me if I am missing something (no pun intended!) but isn't your car still a project car? And if so, why were you carrying the keys at a concert??

When you put a French and an American together, you're bound to find an Aussie to lighten the mood!!

ROFL Good one

Excellent information Alan. I thought you'd see this... :cheeky: I hope gogriz91 appreciates it?????

Continued... and one last picture a design sketch for the C10.

Some more.

Thankyou! Here are some more pictures to share - sorry about the small size.

Ooh, I'll take the red one thanks.

If you tested the clock to ensure it worked, I'm sure you would get a higher final price...

Yes, cost is also a factor of course. I should have said their better efficiency was one of the reasons Automobile Manufacturers tend to use aluminium radiators these days.

I am curious as to what a "Nismo grille" is?

Ooh, funny on two levels .......... you remember Bill and his brother and "the girl", right??

It was June, and Enrique and his partner had been together for 25 years and were celebrating Enrique's 50th birthday. During the party, a fairy appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple all those years, she would give them one wish each. Enrique's partner said, "We've blown all our money on parties and fine dining and decorating this house, I've never gotten to see the world. I wish we could travel all over the world!!" The fairy waved her wand and POOF! They had tickets for a round-the-globe trip!! Next, it was the birthday boy's turn. Enrique paused for a moment, and then with a sly grin said, "Well, I'd like a partner 30 years younger than me." The fairy waved her wand and POOF! He was 80.

Sorry Rick, no idea where Ruby came from........ :devious:

I looked into this a bit when I was replacing my radiator. I ended up having it reconditioned to standard spec, mainly because it was the cheapest alternative and as my engine is relatively stock it doesn't need anything else. I toyed with the Al radiator idea but in the end the realist in me prevailed and I had to ask - could the extra money be better spent elsewhere? Surprisingly (well for me it was) now that the car is manual it runs a lot cooler. Anyway, thats completely beside the point. The aluminium radiators are superior - that's why almost all new quality cars use them. That said, does your car need better cooling? If so, I feel getting an extra core or two is fine - no need for the Al. If I were you, I'd go the MSA 4-core and it will probably be fine. Take note that this is just my own subjective opinion on the matter - I welcome anybody else who disagrees with what I've said.

Not sure if you wanted to go this full-on, but there is what I think looks like the right thing to do when restoring the inside of a gas tank here: http://classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19514 There is another approach here: http://classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=963 Make sure to read the replies too, good info there

Maybe I'm missing something here, but couldn't your friend just count the holes for rivets?

Hey Rick, :devious: :devious: :devious: :cheeky:

Old Rick and his wife Ruby walked slowly into McDonald's on a cold winter's evening. They looked out of place amid the young families and young couples eating there that night. Some of the customers looked admiringly at them. You could tell what the admirers were thinking. "Look, there's a couple who has been through a lot together, probably for 60 years or more!" Rick walked right up to the counter, placed his order with no hesitation and then paid for their meal. The couple took a table near the back wall and started taking food off of the tray. There was one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. Rick unwrapped the plain cheeseburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. Then he carefully counted out the chips, divided them in two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them. As Rick began to eat his few bites of cheeseburger the crowd began to get restless. Again you could tell what they were thinking. "That poor old couple. All they can afford is one meal for the two of them." As Rick began to eat his chips a young man named Bill came over to the old couples table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple to eat. Rick replied that they were just fine. They were used to sharing everything. Then the crowd noticed that Ruby hadn't eaten a bite. She just sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink. Again, Bill came over and begged them to let him buy them something to eat - maybe a McBreast? This time Ruby explained that no, they were used to sharing everything together. As Rick finished eating and was wiping his face neatly with a napkin young Bill could stand it no longer. Again he came over to their table and offered to buy them some food. After being politely refused again he finally asked a question of the little old lady. "Ma'am, why arnt you eeting? You said that y'all share evrything. What is it that you are waiting for?" She answered, "The teeth."

But it's pretty obvious it isn't me at all... I mean come on, red TOTALLY is not my colour.

Bah, you guys act all tough but in reality you've all been severely whipped! Just kidding, you always have to keep it in balance. The car is very nice and all that but in the end... it's just a car. As fun as driving is, nothing beats holding the one you love close to you.

Miles - think it's just a coincidence I think I have seen red, orange, white and yellow...? Maybe silver too. Orange definitely seems to be the "hero" colour though.
