Early birthday presents are great!

I had a fairly specific list of car things I wanted this year, and windblocker was on the top!! My fantastic girlfriend tried to search for one, but didn't really know what the stock one looked like, and there are heaps of aftermarket varieties to choose from. So, very confused, she asked me where she could get one from and what does it look like...

A HUGE thank-you to Richard from MX5-Plus, he had a few for me to choose from, so I just chose the best one, and asked him to put it aside for the better half to collect!

As we are going away to Thailand next week, and my 21st is on Wednesday, we took the opprotunity to get it in the car this weekend!



I was too excited to get pics of me drilling new holes (becasue of the style bars) and only remembered the camera while there was tightening of bolts...



A closer look at the bolts...



Still trying to get those bloody bolts in...



And there you go... Pretty crappy pic though, too dark.



As you can see it has been raining here...



Then she made me go inside while she wrapped it for me and I had to close my eyes so it was a surprise...

Total installation time - 2 hours. 45mins of rain in the middle, and a bung drill, so 30mins round trip down to bunnings for a $30 special!! And about 15mins trying to rethread the one bolt which I let the young lady do up, which she cross-threaded...

It makes a huge difference! My left arm and leg no longer freeze as the air is sucked out of the footwell! Very happy Boag!!!

sorry boags, i had to make it rain...........

So it was you!!

Never mind, my test drive afterwards was very fun... Only a little bit of oversteer

Boags

Happy birthday Boags. You'll have to toughen up though as you age......windblocker on a sports car

Windblockers are for pansys and or Metros alike to who don't want to mess up their hair...

*Runs and goes into hiding*



Oh and by the way Boags I did get my Shocks from Ebay that you suggested. Thumbs Up. Happy birthday

JBT -

JSE - and no probs...

Hey! It is for aerodynamics!! There is considerably less drag on the car now with the roof down...

And my left side won't freeze on dawn patrols... Which i've only seen you at once JBT...

Oh, and JSE - anyone with an NB is a metro or a pansy who doesn't want their hair messed up eh?

YES...I was wondering if anyone else was gonna comment !!!

Geeees.. I'll have to move Interstate soon to have a "UNIQUE" car.

NOW... where can I get wheels JUST LIKE BOAGS ??

lol

Aspley Superior tyre service

They get them from a mob in sydney (who are also on the internet, and quite easy to find), but don't order from them direct, it is a little more, but you have someone to yell at. (mine were delayed a few days)

Happy birthday, person with most excellent name! Ignore the windblocker-knockers. Windblockers are great - I just reinstalled mine on Saturday and I'm glad I did.

Aww how cute, matching whitegoods!

Judging by those photos I’d think you were related to Wilson from that “Home Improvement\" program.

I don't think so, Tim.

Maybe Boags has a real face for radio?
