Used last Saturday.
Green slip a couple of weeks ago.
Last week = pink slip.
This arvo = rego for another year=NSW Rego costs suck = even more so = 10 years before Club rego for this!!

So while Monty has been running fine , it has been throwing engine Light/ fault.
So finally booked into mechs = see what fault codes show!!
And go from there.
Also got them to do a brake fluid flush ( yeah I know easy but I somehow hate and go =you do.

Also been going to for years = limited mechanical but pink slips for all vehicles every year.
First year I took the Maloo down I said I've done Bla bla bla and Bla and Paul ( owner said ) so what do you want me to do ? !!!
I wasn't stupid enough to say a stamp on the service book !!! So got them to do a brake fluid flush.

Anyway WTF =code air meter/MAF meter disconnect/ electrical resistance === WTF = it's been disconnected for 8 years.
Means all good =so might take for a run to the club park up this Saturday arvo !!!!

Car clubs Christmas Party yesterday , a good day , got a couple of very lite showers on the way home .
A few of the cars that turned up.






Had a look this morning ( a little surprized having gone through those couple of lite showers but still looked clean ) , so it's back in its sleeping bag.

Wow, how do you get on with mud flap on the front? I would like some on mine but I'm afraid I'd snap them off in no time.

Yeah that photo = someone in the club =said , great stance .
It is = ( I'm guessing settled ( after 10+ years ) =( is lower than original set up) , = is a PITA = low = for more than the odd use !!!
Front Mud flaps have been trimmed and they still grind on speed humps .
Rear mud flaps aren't on because they are a 2 part , part and because of grinding/etc are in 2 parts !!!
Figure ? like to rejoin / clean up and body colour.
Considering will probably run twin 3" exhaust eventually, need to raise ride height some!!

 

[losh1971]

OK, that means as I thought, = no mudflaps going on BT. Like yours mine sits too low.

Got the pink slip for it today so just need to pay rego sometime soon.
For some reason I thought I'd used it quite a bit over the last year.
Wrong!!!
I probably need to be chastised!!!
Just checked last years pink slip = in 1 year and 4 days it's only travelled 828km.
