IT'S ONLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AWAY.....!
Just a reminder about the

13th Annual Morris Minor Display Day on 15th OCTOBER 2006 from 10am @ Ormiston State School. Opposite Ormiston Train Station.

This is not a competitive day, just a day for Morris Minor owners &/or enthusiests to come along and see and talk Morries.
It is a FREE event, no cost.
We have had upwards of 60 Morris Minors attend the day in past years and no doubt this years will be even bigger.
We are also having ROCKER COVER RACING.

What a great roll-up
The red ute (Mick H) moved up to QL a few months back for work, it's Ians old ute, twincam 4ag on gas, its a 2dr cut down. I didn't think he would get it passed up there, or maybe it's still registed down here. Looks like it still scrubs out tyres as ussual. 4cyl LJ Torana front end.

Great photos Skidmond. Some great looking cars in that lot! I was so looking forward to going, then I got Chicken Pox...
Especially would've like seeing that red ute on Gas... I'm strongly considering running my ute on LPG. But isn't a 4AG a 1.6L? I didn't think you could take them out to 2L. And the limit (unless you can prove it originally ran a side valve engine, which weighed more) is just shy of 2L... But, regardless, I always thought there was a clause in there that, if a vehicle was legally registered in another state (meaning all engineering modifications were approved), it was legally able to be registered up here anyway..? Not that it makes a huge amount of difference, since we've got the same laws now. But I remember people talking about bringing in LHD cars (not Morries) through the Northern Territory for that reason. Sorry, kind of off-topic...
After all the talk about it, and the previewed photo posting from Tony, who won the rocker cover racing?

As a ring in that did,nt quite fit the start grid ( it was longer than any other two put together it made a good showing of it,s self after the stearing was sorted .
But some little bloke with a jet powered Number 8 would have to have ripped it out I never stayed for the finals (better to leave before the end KEEP 'EM Guessing) and with a 1.5 kg handi cap as well(weighed more than any 3 together.)
But as soon as someone sends me an old Morrie tappet cover I shall start on next years entry LEGAL.
As for the DAY BLOODY GREAT dam good showing and I even got a real sample bag like in the old days (anyone want a free burger and coffe at macca's in Cleaveland before the 30th?).
The day was worth the 2 1/2 drive down and than back.
Note to self ... may need a better diff for next long drive maby 1 to 1 in top.
So from me Thanks to all that put on the day
aand thanks for all those that made the effort with there cars.

The red ute is only a 1600cc not a 2litre, Ian always had trouble with it cracking the chassis, where the Torana front was grafted in, it drives shocking with bad bumpsteer (well it used to when I went in it) The front end is set-up wrong with wrong amount of caster, don't know why it always scrubbed tyres.
