Sun came out in Adelaide today.....

'bout blood-y time too!

Took the covers off my precious 68 vette, and reintroduced her to sunlight.

Spent a bit of time giving her a bit of a wipe, and prepared for a nice morning romp thru the foothills. Had visions of powering up thru the gorge, with the misty hilltops echoing with the sound of raw 60's V8 muscle. Powering through bend after bend, tyres scrambling for grip on the moistened bitumen, emitting their high pitched chirps of delight between gear changes.......

I planned the whole day... how I'd stop for a bite to eat at Hahndorf, and then venture forth through to the south via Macclesfield and Strathalbyn, along the routes to be used for this years Adelaide Classic Rally.....

Everything ready, finally got the missus organised and in the passenger seat, and off we went.

Two kilometres down the road, and I hear a God awefull squealing sound emanating from one of the cars around me.

I look around for the culprit.

What sort of mechanically dimwitted fool could do that to a car. Sounded like a seized wheel bearing. The bloody idiots, I thought to myself.

Looking around, trying to pinpoint the source, I suddenly became acutely aware that everyone else was looking at me. Hmmmm, as I slowed down the squealing reduced in pitch ..... oh $HIT! It was MY f$%E#ing wheel bearing.

Bugger! First bit of decent weekend weather in quite a while, and I had to limp home and put the car in the shed. :gooff:

worst part about it was listening to the missus b**ch about the situation...... :gooff:

Anyway, sent her off to Glenelg to do some shopping and get her off my case..

Pulled the front hub off the right front and found the outer bearing cage damaged.

three of the roller retaining bars had worn away....

Hmmmm... I count myself lucky.

I drove the car over to Melbourne and back (from Adelaide) at Easter time for the National Corvette Convention, and at times had the car at quite insane speeds (I should point out we had access to Holden's proving ground at Lang Lang, including the high speed bowl)

I sure am glad I didn't have this problem occur whilst on the road, many miles from home.

Well, its a visit to Mr Consolidated Bearing Company tomorrow morning.

Hopefully they will have the required bearings in stock.

cheers

tom

I was drunk on the site of all the woman at the autosalon show in brisvagas on the week end including one penthouse pet.

But the site of ken in pink soon fixed that.
