Wanted - Bosch ingition coils

Just chasing 2 matching Bosch ignition coils with brackets. Ideally in good condition, but they don't have to be working as they will be installed for effect only on my 550. I am after an early pair - 50s style with a schwarz barrel and brown top (think it came in a lighter and darker brown) Happy t...

I'm currently staying with my brother on Mt Tamborine just down from Brissie. Both roads going uP the mountain are cut off from where the river crosses. We went up for dinner last night from where we are staying at Broadbeach and the river was high but when we came down around 11pm we couldn't get t...

thanks guys. I didn't take many photos this year as they just clog up my computer. It is always a challenge to cut 4GB of video into 5 minutes, but always fun to do!

Total crap weather and not a good day for the spyder. Once I got home between showers I spent the next hour trying to get the rain out of the foam in my seats - my car leaks like a sieve :( Then when I pushed it into the garage there was a massive puddle of fresh oil left in the carport - buggered i...

Speaking from experience of owning a 550 and others I know who have/are trying to register them - don't even go there!

Thanks guys - just got the new camera a few weeks ago - it's pretty cool where it videos 170 degrees in view, so gives some weird perspectives. It comes with a mount for the car and is also waterproof if you want. On a 4GB card you get about 2 hours of footage. When I load it into iMovie it blew out...

I got them to do the rego on the spyder, but think it was out of sympathy - you have little hope with the tank. I have been on a few of their cruises, but it is more like 'leave you for dead - see you at the other end' - not the type of cruise I look for. I like the 'all in line, going in one direct...

They had quite a big turn out at Flemington on the day - not many VWs though - maybe half a doz :? Mercedes has their concourse there each year and had one of the gullwings and a few other special cars. Pretty much every marque was represented! http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd288/gotowo/Forum%2...

I only have photos of the manifolds - the thing is that they are only there to look original - they used to leak like a sieve on the racing 550s. I will relocate my bendix pump out of the way to the engine bay still connected, and mount these in on the side where they were on the originals just for ...
