Just thought I would let you know that the 64 finally
> propelled herself along the bitumen today, 8 years, 1 month
> and 3 days after I picked her up in 2000. It wasn't
> bitumen on a race track but on a road leading to an annual
> car show in my home town Marong about 500 metres from my
> house. There were heaps of people looking, talking and
> taking photos. I drove her there, just a tad illegal I must
> confess. I gave her a bit of stick down the main street, you
> should have seen the grin on my face. It was a pretty wild
> ride, loud, but responsive and the 2.66 first gear seems to
> go forever, even with 3.9 diff gears, I didn't get time
> to look at the tacho there was too much going on. The
> locked diff makes U turns interesting. I still have to tweak

> little jobs. I am aiming for a practice day at Winton motor
> raceway (a few hours drive from Marong) in late September,
> early November. I can now start spending some time on the
