    Mate of the old man's had one exactly the same, told him if he ever wanted to sell it to let me know and I'd buy it. He didn't. He sold it without telling me.

    Much like another mate of the old man's who had a mint GT250, told him if he ever wanted to sell it to let me know and I'd buy it. He didn't. He sold it for fuck all without telling me.

    Another one had an utter minter 1956 Chev Bel Air sedan.

    allegedly the Chev is around Timaru with a great big hole cut in the bonnet....
    Yes, my first VF hardtop was beige with a black paisley imprint vinyl roof. Had a hot slant 225 out of a jet sprint boat and it was almost as quick as the 360, used as much gas too

    Why the hell are radiators black if it attracts heat?

    Let's put it this way for the real slow people out there.

    Black is hot to touch in the sun.

    Is a heater hot to touch when it's turned on?

    Does a heater "absorb" or "radiate" heat?

    There's your answer.
    Jaysus, Jummy. 'ow'd youse get so smart? S'pose youse wear spex an'all too?


    Can I interest you in a nice line in pocket protectors...

    Actually, I think that black absorbs both heat and light. It then has to radiate the heat back out cause the light is taking up all the room...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    there was one kicking round Welly when I was there that looked stock but had slightly widened stock rims, and a 440. Best sounding car I've ever heard I reckon.

    A black panel will be hotter than a silver panel. Why? Black absorbs all colours of the light (think rainbow). Much easier to see a red light on a white panel than on a black.

    Not all black is THERMALLY 'black'...

    Is your bike rainbow powered then?
