Ozzie Stag in Pommie Hands

Dear fellow Pom,

Well I was born in Hertfordshire and used to live in Spain if that makes the world smaller for you?

Did your car live in Veivers Road in Palm Cove? if so I know it reasonably well! Ian was an artist if I recall!

As for the soft top I would import it from the UK, Aldridge's have a good reputation, my interior is in VGC but I needed some cubby panels a while back, I bought mine in the UK from Ebay and when a mate flew over for a holiday he bought them with him, along with prerequisite PG tips and Marmite!

I use Greg Tunstall and British Auto Care in Brissy for most of my spares, I find them both very helpful, they know most of the Stag owners in Qld and are very happy to help and offer advice.

I'm happy to have a chat, as it's easier to talk than type!

I'll PM my number to you.

regards,

Raoul

Mornin All,

Thanks for you very generous offers of advice, this seems to be a very helpful and friendly forum.

Stuart, that would explain the occasional HT shock up the gear lever when i first aquired the car, I did read about this phenomana and purchased a new gear lever loom from Mssr Paddock in the UK it looks like a small section of 3 amp mains cable with a couple of crimps the same as the one in the ebay ad. So i better get my backside out there and get it fitted. I was dubious about its quality and heat properties, but if its all thats out there...

Al, ill give you a PM with my mail as all info on these beast's is invaluavble many thanks.

Raoul, Hertfordshire G that was the next county to Bucks! and to continue the small world theme..
Ian the previous owner was an artist for all the local flora and fauna very good too, in 2000 when i came over first and fell head over heals in love with Palm Cove and Aus, we bought a small print of double island and duely took it back to pommieville. Ended up buying the artists car some 8 years later:shock:.
Small World, ill give you a ring as soon as i get rid of the outlaws, i gotta try and beat the mother in law at monopoly on that return grudge match.
