Trials and tribulations...

Update; on the eve of the 924 Rallye needing to be at the shippers in Brisbane for the trip to Sydney the K-Jetronic threw a wobbly and rendered it a non runner.....

As you'll know and fair enough too the shippers (Carways, who have been fantastic- I have a great contact in Melbourne if ever anyone needs personalised shipping) can't handle a non-runner.

So it's at this point the previous owner says to me "bugger it I'll load it on the trailer and bring it down myself...."

Legendary; give that bloke a rum-n-coke.

So if anyone's a master with K-Jet make yourself known to me in the tent !

Cheers

This was one of my favourite cars at Rennsport Stu! In fact it got me thinking that there was a red 924 lurking up here that I had seen some time back and that I should track it down to do something with a similar rally theme.

Sadly its pretty rusty around the rear hatch area and is also an auto so no go for that little project!

Cool Cam ! Hey that's an early one with those chromed window arches and a chrome door handle that looks like it's off a 50's Holden.....

Simmons alloys are tre choice too, eh Bro ?

Oh my. I second that. That looks painful.

Stew, back in 2001/2002 I was living in Townsville and enjoying my first hill climb with the NQ Marque Sportscar Club...

Sorry about the photos, it was my first digital camera and 3 megapix

The previous owner hitched it up at Rennsport and it hasn't moved off the trailer since.

He's a pretty experienced chap and I wasn't about to get precious. no damage done- there's 2 spares secured in the boot anyway.....

Thanks John- that's a great bit of concurrent history. I appreciate you posting the shots - that looks like it was just prior to having all the bits refitted to do the Targa Tasmania sometime around then.
