    I wonder if the Kubota would fit in the tray of the Kombi? 🤔 I could take it to the factory and mow the lawn there!

    The joys and challenge of Restorations.

    A LHD Coupe, in that condition. Folly. I actually think I've come across this wreck before, if it's the same car it was inundated in a flood in Texas of all places, bought by Chris Johnston of the M-100 group and carted to Crete, Colorado where it sat in the weather, year round. It snows a...

    Auto Brunch Event - St Ives

    I'll admit to being a bit of a fan of the XF Falcon. I had a 4.1 Ute, Auto Air Steer back in '86 ( I was 21). With a Telstra 1st Gen Car phone, as a company car working as a project manager for a commercial AC company. By god I thought I'd made it! Then later down the track a XF Panel van as an...

    That would have been Ruby's year 10 formal at Doltone House, Prymont. Karen driving. She adores it.

    WTB Bosch 0442201002 Fuel Pump

    It'll be good to enjoy it again. I remember way back when I drove it everywhere. Shortly before the Downunder Rally (2008) I was in Brookvale getting some print supplies and meeting up with Phil Cullis, a M100 group and fellow 3.6 owner to lend him the throttle tle body/MFIP calibration...

    WTB Bosch 0442201002 Fuel Pump

    Wasn’t cheap compared to simply swapping in another Bosch in line filter, but I’ve decided it’s time to get the 6.3 back to the jump in and drive to Perth way it was so to many years ago. I was ready to sell, just let it go. I’ve changed my mind. It just needs driving. I want to also rebuild...

    WTB Bosch 0442201002 Fuel Pump

    Long shot I know, but I'm looking for a short body Bosch Fuel pump for the 6.3 Since I bought it in 2006 it's had a D-Jet/K-Jet pump and while a bit noisy always did the job. The pump has died so I'm looking to revert to original, hopefully for under $2K 🤦🤦 which seems to be the rate for a...

    Cleary everything owned prior were merely "gateway" vehicles. Is in intervention in order?
