Richard.


Nope, not Snow White - it was the other chap gave up his addition to Foo-Foo Dust. I'm still in there sneezing.

...Woo Hoo!

Poyth! Foo Foo Dust has gone to Poyth? Do they have bends in the roads over there?

Nope, only bent politicians and crooked cops :lol:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Yes I am the lucky new owner of Foo Foo Dust aka Puffed Rice, and am loving it. Had to do some minor repairs, rear engine seal, cracked EGR pipe, new brake pads and rotors and of course re-tighten the dump pipe bolts!. It goes really well and yes we do have a few bendy roads to enjoy.

That's good to hear Geordie - please keep us posted on any new adventures and experiences.

Actually, I'm not surprised you had to do some minor repairs as the previous owner wasn't known for his mechanical prowess, except to say that I once heard he had an excellent model aircraft and Action-man collection. He's now wearing leaden-hosen with braces and long sox; and its been reported in the Fortitude Valley Times that he's been spotted one of those Bavarian style hats. I don't know exactly what he's driving now, but it's the same colour like the inside of an overripe avocado when its passed its use-by-date.

...there's a possibility the person to whom I am referring may challenge these observations - but since he's gone over to the "other side", it hardly matters anymore.

Cheers,

Looking good, all three.

Wonder though how secure that extinguisher is? I wouldn't like to see the results if it becomes a missile.

That has since been removed prior to a track-day at Willowbank for the reason mentioned. I did have it bolted in front of the passenger seat, but that proved too restrictive, so it ended up on the wall of the garage.

No need for me to try and challenge your observations MX5-SP - anyone that hangs around here for 5 minutes knows you're the king of BS, whether that be by inventing it, stirring it, sprouting it, or as in this case, all three! :wink: :lol:

I was briefly surprised that you had forgotten what I'm driving now, but then I realised that you didn't mention it because you would have had difficulty remembering how to spell BMW... :P

Have you brought Snow White up to Foo Foo Dust standards yet, or is that a holiday project?
