Damn Boy Racers Parking Alongside My Car...

Nice GT40. I will have one in the collection one day.

The Bushrangers though are pretty interesting. Basically an overpriced battlefield taxi. I worked on the project in its early stages and wasn't impressed.

350hp Cat to ZF auto trans, push button gear selection, central tyre inflation for different terrain profiles, safely take 9.5kg of HE underneath with good survivability. No big gun so it's just a truck.

nice geoff, is that the realistic collection or the "if i win tattslotto" collection

i ended up lookin up the stats of those things on the net.

got the hp figure, but couldn't find any mention of the amount of torque that CAT 6 was putting out, would think that would be the most interesting thing about em.

14,000 kg would need a decent nudge to help it along i woulda thought .

half the trucks were drivers under instruction, so must have been a bit of a training drill.

What car is the replica made from?

I mean, is it a chassis that was converted? Or tube frame chassis with panels bolted on etc?

[Beer Baron]

they are made from scratch.

[thommo]

didn't actually ask him, but pretty sure that the chassis wouldn't have been donated from another car. next time i see the guy i'll ask who the car was built by and try and get some more info.

[Beer Baron]

Yeah, probably wasnt very clear but this one B)

yeah our historic race car has sponsorhip from the classic throttle shop that import all the gulf stuff so are car is done up with the gulf stripes, and when not racing has the big "GULF" sticker/logo on the roof etc.

love the old alfa's, had a 2L alfetta as one of my first cars.

would have to sound pretty decent with the short exit pipe hanging out the side there

[TracidTrax]

yeah it's pretty sweet. it has a fully built motor (inc pistons, rods, very big cam etc) running 48mm webbers. We will actually be racing it at Phillip Island next year so if anyone is keen to come and say hello i'll let you know when we are out there.

edit: the GT40 replica was most likely built buy http://www.gt40australia.com/ apparently they have very good quality/faithful kits.
