The young Harrison Gray at the Holden Sporting Car Club Khanacross on Sunday the 14th. 1st in class (okay the only in his class). Well done. It’s at this sort of thing you will really understand if you and your car are “fast”.
Willowbank, Qld, Australia
Prices on them look really good for a six speed plus reverse gear non-chain motorcycle engine gearbox. You could spend that cash (some wouldn’t) on a turbo motor and not be as quick and reliable as Hyabusa in front of this box installed.

Damn it, no SA entry 
Huh-wow! I don’t remember that if it was me. Must have been ages ago, or another Gormsby.
Have we got a copy cat 
This was one of the videos of the cars hydrolocking their engines in Rufford Ford.
If you even feel useless I highly recommend anyone to watch these videos. Just one after the other going full send into a river.
Yeah, interesting video. Pretty sure I’ve never seen that one before. Must be another Gormsby. There aren’t many photos from the series to choose from that can be used as profile thumbnails so not necessarily a copycat.
Well he is missing the _ in the name. From what series is your namen and pic?
Politically incorrect and especially funny if you are a teacher (I am - teaching a lot of similar kids basic fitting and turning and welding - we have an above the mean average number of Kiwi and Maori students). What goes on with kids and staff a like in it make one think the writer may have just taken real situations and barely embellished at all. By the time you get to the 14th episode the whole thing has tied all the details together. Basically the “system does not work or benefit kids at all” but a old school blunt teacher who actually has high expectations and the best interest of his students trumps all. Couldn’t figure out what I was watching when I first saw it over a decade ago, but found it built momentum and I couldn’t stop watching every episode right through to the end.
Seen via Compact Motorsports FB page (NZ Daihatsu race parts and prep).
Just when I thought I’d seen everything Daihatsu (found on FB)
