Both cars passed inspections. Got my 'Show Bag' of goodies for each car (windscreen strip, tow point and battery position stickers etc). Now for the packing with Ms M1FF.. 23_30_106 Smile Icon_tongue

Thank you both for your kind wishes. Yep its going to be WOT all the way - wait till I post the MPG figures from the OBC!!

I won't win (not that there is any prize - we aint racing for sheep stations [read 'farms' - but bigger]) there are road driven cars entered with 1000+hp at the wheels.

I promise to post my times and speeds just so you all can confirm that BMW's are for your mums' and good ladies' - blokes drive Mach 1's.

The cars got their wheels aligned today. Once up on the screen so much RED!! I am amazed they drove as well as they did. All better now though.

The E34 needed a steering idler bush. Only a really small amount of free movement, but they found it. There was only one bush in WA and I got it and fitted it in time for the wheel alignment. Working harder than a one armed bricklayer in the Gaza Strip!!

We leave for the wilds tomorrow AM and are away until Sunday night.
Then you will see pictures!! 23_30_106 BiggrinNana

WOO HOO!! Thumbup Made it there and back safely. Did not break anything. DID NOT COME LAST!! Biggrin

Working on getting the photos to useable (forum) size. I will then post the pick of the crop.

It was the most fun you can have with your clothes on!!! Had about 10 runs.

Saw the 200mph+ run - 322kph, standing start, 1 km track.

My results (and all the others) on racewars.com.au. My entry numbers 124 and 125.

Next year my E32 (engine rebuild and extractors) AND the Mach 1 as a two driver entry with the proud owner daughter. Are we there yet?? Icon_tongue

Kuddos for not breaking anything. Real cool to drive the heck out of them and not have anything to fix. SSig_goodjob JTS 71 Mach1
