I wonder if it's a special vintage car club only thing. Were they new looking cars (if you could tell)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make the thread tonight when I have more details but we're meeting somewhere near the domestic airport at this stage, 1:30pm, leave 2pm, probably coastal cruise to take in the scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm told running it on alcohol will keep the inside of the motor super clean.Hopefully it'll keep the pistons in one piece as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
