No worries -

A few shots of Ron’s 300 - the boys at Elfins reckoned it was the prettiest car they ever made!

Had a play around this morning with a spare spacer plate that’s yet to be finally machined, reinforcing gear mounting bolt threads. Looks like the inserts will go in without any hassles

Well, Elmo’s had a pretty good year. 2 class podiums in State or higher Hillclimb Championships.

“We” won the Historic Class in the Victorian Championship & came second in the Australian Championship!

Dad came over from Tassie for the 4 day Aussie Championships - it was great to have him onboard & he also had a great time
