Alan,

I hope you're high and dry being as there has already been 16" of rain in Melbourne... how far is that from you?
Looks and sounds good.

Mike Bynum (on the other side of the state from you, AND still waiting for a build diary :-)

Alan B - 21/8/08 at 01:33 AM

Hey Mike...there is some info. at http://www.tiki-cars.com/....I'm about 25 miles south of Melbourne, we didn't get it quite so bad, but it's still pretty soggy

sgraber - 21/8/08 at 03:16 AM

That sounds Fan-f'ing-tastic! wow wow wow!

I am most pleased for you Alan. High fives all around for the latest runner!

Stay dry lads, looks like more rain for the next few days eh?

Excellent. There was some interesting Florida accent on the soundtrack too

From the little known "Lancashire" county here in FL.....hey up y'all

Dale - 21/8/08 at 12:58 PM

Sounds very good, is that just a cat and a cherry bomb?
Dale

Alan B - 21/8/08 at 02:01 PM

Dale, it's not an actual Cherry Bomb, but I'm certain it's very similar though....and yes a cat too....both straight from the Jegs catalog.

pbura - 21/8/08 at 02:30 PM

Looks and sounds GREAT, Alan!

So are you KenMidas, or what?

Alan B - 21/8/08 at 02:38 PM

Nope.....KenMidas lives next door and is very interested in the project...

And....oh yeah.....he's my dad....

Really! He must be a spry old devil, then. My own dad turns 90 tomorrow.

Hey, congrats also on the MK distributorship. I'm glad to see that your automotive efforts are really gaining momentum this year.

Alan B - 21/8/08 at 05:41 PM

Bob, I've lived here since '94..I think my accent will be with me for life.....not even trying to lose it as it's been pretty good for me over here..

Pete, thanks, yeah my dad turned 80 this year...loves to get involved...he's finding out just how much cars have changed since he was tinkering with them 40 years ago.....
