Hi guys, Sorry I've been completely absent lately!! The great news is that I'm submitting the Bellett Nationals article to Unique Cars as we speak; I took 800 photos so there should be a few good ones. I apologise in advance to those that didn't get coverage; there were so many great cars and people, a 300-word limit plus five owner profiles couldn't cover it all. The great news is that I negotiated some extra words and have had Unique Cars grant me a six-pager rather than a four-pager. I'm stoked! I don't normally get a say in that! Finally, I no need to clarify a couple of things. I'd had a couple of beverages at the Hoedown so I have an excuse, but Lewis took home "Best GT" didn't he? I'm certain, but I don't want my facts to be wrong. In fact, I'll clarify them all here: Lewis - Best GT Steve Thompson - Best sedan Peter Betyounan - Best Other Isuzu (for his 117 coupe) James Darvas - People's Choice. Does that sound right? I'm outta room for the runners up!! I will get you all know when the article is out. I haven't put any pics up because a) I've been too busy (four articles for Street Machine since I returned, newborn daughter, wife with cancer; usual stuff) and also because b) I didn't want to put pics up that may end up intellectual property of the magazine or however that works! Yay tho!! Stoked! Cheers, Dave |

Surprisingly, they've put the entire article up online before the magazine has hit the stands. Check it here: https://www.tradeuniquecars.com.au/even ... 16-gallery 1) I didn't choose the URL to be 'VIC' 2) I JUST realised that the event had a different name this year 'Isuzus on the Murray'. Apologies Gricey I've put thru a correction but it may be too late. It's been the Bellett Nationals in my head the whole time, I didn't think to actually check the paperwork. 3) AWESOME! |

People's Choice has always been the most important award because it is chosen by the people. Great work James and well deserved. The 'Blacklocks Choice' is cream on the cake! |

First Bellett to arrive was on August 7..... Same car is last to leave, right now, in Dec 2. Huge thanks to Gricey for looking after (at one stage) 3 of my cars for the event. And no..... I won't be taking 5 cars again. Waaaay to much like hard work! |

Nah all good there. Does need a look at in other areas tho...... A 1.5 single carb 4 cylinder should get better than 22mpg on the highway, or so you'd think. |

Should be closer to 40. Its over jetted bit not by much. I think the ign advance unit is playing up as its got almost no low down poke too. I get high 30's in the GT depending in how I drive it on a given day too. Have seen very close to 40 on a long highway run. Has taken a bit of fiddling, but those Hitachi carbs are a damn good thing when u work them out. |
