Good soapbox, Vette Obsessed, you can see by my comment that I was on the trail but a longways behind the rest of the posse on that one.
So far my ‘crap filter’ has been working well, in that I’ve had some good info on several things. I’ve no idea how I would get on without the help of the CF. I often tell people here how helpful they are but in all forums you get 3 answers to a question, it’s just a matter of seeing if the correct answer is among them.
(Editing here) - I forgot to say that I check the ages out of the people who seem to offer good advice - doesn't always mean something but generally I never trust someone without at least a few gray hairs. Vader 86 is 22 years old.
The great thing about this NSW Forum is getting an Aussie point of view. I hope no one starts up a second/third/fourth Aus forum – it’s simpler to just have the one. Maybe this one should be renamed to cover all states, looks like there’s a few Qld’s
here.
SM90 - I was not in touch with any local vettes until the end of last year so I’m not familiar with your car. Is it a 90 ? what colour etc ? You can see mine at
www.myvette.20m.comThe pics are from when I bought it – just temporary, I’m planning to take some new one’s this week if we get some good weather. I’d like to hear about how you found the car/inspected/did the deal/got it home as it would be useful info for when I sell mine here in Cairns……..no plans at the moment though.
Would you like to email me ? make_contact_@hotmail.com
77CVT – I’m glad you let me know about the 16” rims. I haven’t done any research on them (as you can see)
I was in touch with a great bloke in NSW called Doug (Uncle Doug) and he had put Holden rims on his 87. They were 17”, less wide and cheaper. He sent me some pics, at the time I thought my 12 slots were better but I’m reconsidering. Haven’t heard from Doug for ages.
Vette Obsessed – please, any clues for me on shipping ? Assume I know nothing and you’ll be close, just over-estimating a bit.
I know quite a bit about the aircon though, did you know a Holden WB blower (1982) bolts straight on my 88 ? but that’s got nothing to do with tyres.
