Passed an interesting garage today, the first thing that caught my eye was this A50 ute gasser, nicknamed "Bosstin".

Has a 7.0 Pontiac engine, and was featured in a top ten list of gassers in Street Machine magazine.

The Pontiac engine came from this '63 Bonneville which is now receiving an 8.8 litre engine (forgot what make):

There was this Ford Prefect/Popular/Anglia outside the workshop too:

Interesting place, the owner said they get all kinds of interesting stuff coming in and out so I'll see if I can pop by another time.

Bet the neighbours love this bloke, half a dozen shagged out funeral limos in the street and at least another half a dozen hearses and Jags on the drive, not sure what use these things are once they’ve done a banger rally there’s nowhere but the oval to go.

Couple of bits from this morning.

200D. How miserably slow must this be?

B533 BAV - 1985 Mercedes-Benz 200D

Saw the red Skoda first, then looked in front and spotted the blue one and it can't be coincidence they were together. MOT history says they were low-mileage cars but are both doing over 10k a year now!
