Hank Scorpio

The breast! Misso just got me courtside seats for the bball in Feb, awww yisssss!

Hmmm... sounds interesting. I made a the sphincter of the universe meat loaf for dinner last night, would have gone well on the BBQ I reckon with a bit of cherry.

Tasters during scrut? We basically did that this year lol

Gotta' be in it to win it!

Maybe...

BURNT MOTHER FKN ENDS. If Keenan cooks again next year, I propose a BBQ off, winners get extra laps, losers do a challenge.

Dale! I'm also working on a new Lemons sponsor for next year. The driver they will nominate (if it goes through) will also be a handy 3rd pitmaster. This means we load up the GMG, maybe try that brisket?!

^ This also means I need to go back to the States in a couple of years, this time - Texas! Dale - Going to reverse sear a couple of Secret Butcher rib eyes for the parentals saturday night for looking after Hank. Mum can't cook a steak to save her life, so I think they will really enjoy it! Wondering what to do with my Monday off though, do I fire up the GMG? What do I cook?

try this quote "im kinda a big deal in Australia, I have meny leather bound books!" Haha! I'll try that for sure. Luckily I've made a couple of contacts over there, we will see what happens.

Ugh, old mate no-paypal is giving me dramas. Fk, I don't wanna have to find these damn parts again!

No major issues, just pads n shit.

Hopefully they can fix it without bleeding you dry!

Good luck! Hopefully it's an easy fix. Speaking of car dramas... So I'm trying to buy parts for my Humvee. Found a bloke in America with what I want at great prices. He says he won't ship overseas and I tell him that parts only need to go to Texas. He's happy with that and keeps talking to me. We finalise the order and agree on the price and shipping. I ask how to pay, he says he doesn't use Paypal (maybe because of their fees or he's old, I don't know), so he says I can pay with a cheque or money order. Well mate, I'm in Australia I can't send you a fkn cheque can I? I ask about the money order, I ask if that means sending the money directly to his bank account which I've done previously for parts in America, it's fairly straight forward. Apparently not! Now he won't accept overseas payments... So apparently I have to get my mate in Texas to send him a fkn cheque (then I pay my mate obviously) before he sends parts. Geez! If you didn't wanna' sell me shit in the 1st place, just say so! It's a $765 USD order, why wouldn't you want it!? Meanwhile I bought my Smart Start through someone else via paypal this morning and it gets shipped tomorrow lol.

Coffee and beef short ribs, if that's not my life in a single picture, I don't know what is.

Dale! Angie sent me a bunch of pics from the weekend, I'll get them through to you. Yeah, I agree, I think we won on our epic BBQ - Dale even got a fkn medal!!! I think overall (laps wise) we came around the 5th mark. Plans are already a foot for nect year, Dale is even going to help drive!

Just bought a new Smart Start System (Brain/ECU if you will), hopefully many of my electrical problems will be solved! For those interested in what a Smart Start Box is, this is basically what I bought - https://www.hummerpartsguy.com/CONTROL-REMOTE-SWITCHING-SMART-START-WTSU-KDS_p_22259.html

Glow plugs will get done there, they're quite cheap. The Smart Start Box will be replaced, not going to play with the indicators or anything at this point in time. Hopefully the new box sorts the windscreen wipers out as well. Hopefully I find someone with "new old stock" as even on special from Hummer Parts Guy they are $550 USD. Looks like the alternator will be replaced. Any non worn ball joints will be kept. Any non worn CV shafts will not be touched. New tie rod ends and rear toe rods going on, hopefully again I have found some new old stock. Using a second hand 4 speed shifter instead of a new one which saves me about $200 USD. Hopefully all that saves me coin and we can knock the labour down a bit!

What a fkn weekend.

Some videos from the guys at M2 Services about what needs doing to the truck. We're at a bit of an impass at the moment as they want to do everything but I do not have the budget to do everything. So at the moment we are trying to trim the fat, only replace what needs replacing for roadworthy over here and get his parts and labour down. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wlx6prl93d3q9xr/AAB4IZDVhpE4bMff_Z_QWuvDa?dl=0

Would daily. Turret spec roof is for sale atm, something ridiculous like $5,500 USD...

Can't fit the wheels and tyres I want without the lift

That's what I should have done to begin with, hindsight is a beautiful thing though. I was orginially working towards an event that didn't come to fruition, would have given me longer and more money to build the car initially, but it didn't work out that way. If said guy would like to fund my T56 conversion, you can tell him that I'm keen to get it done. However wheels/tyres and a lift on the Humvee is more important than the Cosmo.

Ewwwwwe

Greddy Profec-B Spec II FTW! 15psi, I wish I was pushing 15psi
