Hi Ed Moorhouse

I have the same deal

I have the "T" and the wife has her "little red car" a 1990 TX3 4 x 4 turbo we have had it since new, a bloody great little car, and boy can it scare the v8's :o

She gets real cranky when the boys ask her at the lights .."if it is her sons car" and then leaves them on the line heheheee :o

Since this site doesn't support street racing the APS site sponsor ad "annihilate a HSV today" must be in the kW v kW sense and not in the fastest down the road sense. :D

[TURBO4LT]

Only had a few runs with mixed results

SS commodore = beat by 2 car lengths

monaro SV8 = beat by about 1 car length

VL turbo looked stock = easy kill :D

BMW M3 current model = got flogged :( it sounded great

Nissan GTR = beat me good

Roadkill Stories.....hmmmm

Got a wallaby in Tassie one night between George Town and Launceston.

Two gallahs near Mildurah, that one cost me two spotties, a headlight and cracked grill.

Numerous rabbits.

Two foxes.

Numbat (tried to miss it but the silly little sod run back under the car).

Black duck near Coonable.

A crow......yes I tell no lies, somewhere on the Hay plain, had its head up a dead roos guts, saw me too late, got it with the left corner of the wind screen. Painted a little black crow under the drivers window for that one.

And a few close calls with roos, don't they get the adrenaline pumpin! :D

Driving somewhere (don't remember now) ... SWMBO at the wheel.

Over the crest of a hill and an Eagle is on the road picking at it's prey.

Should have seen the look of surprise on it's face as it become one with the grill.

Got out and had a look. It was like the bloody American Crest! :o

This thing had tried to launch itself at the last second, only to hit the car fully extended ... funny now that I think back on it, but at the time ... :nugget:

My near miss was with a big black bull!

I was on the Highway on a Friday evening first day of school holidays, turned on a speed and (so naturally) going very hard and as I rounded a bend, I sw a big black bull standing in the middle of the road about 100 metres away and I was closing at a rate of about 40 m/p/s. Pressed the brake and drove the peddle to the floor whilst steering away into the oncoming traffic, with just enough room to miss the bull and the oncoming cars.

Needless to say the speed got away, and I was stuck there with the lights on warning others cars about the bull and waiting for the farmer.

Lucky those blue trousers are wash and wear LOL
