Heya Greg, there's no way I'm tellin' Donkey about the muddy roadworks you've been through! I'll never hear the end of it :lol:
Not that it matters here at the moment with the amount of rain we're having, he's standing ankle deep in mud at my brothers place as it is.
Might crank up the tractor and slash a track in the back paddock on friday to let him have some fun in it.

Be safe guys & gals and see y'all soonish

It was an absolute pleasure having Geoff, Christine, Greg, Lizzie, Gemma and James with us, this families committment to the marque speaks for itself, not only that, they are a very nice family! :D
We thoroughly enjoyed their company, sorry we could not have put on better weather for them during their stay. We ended up with 8 cars in all, some withdrawals due to the weather and ill health, I hope those members of Bellett.net are now OK!!
I hope they get back to their homes safely and without too many hassles with the weather, unfortunately the weather does not look like changing very soon. :(
More photos to come, keep looking.

Thinking of you guys up there when they keep showing the relentless water works on the news. We've all put requests in to the big fella to turn the tap off for a while. Hope this happens for you.

Some great pics there :D Just to get more farmiliarized, who's the bearded dude with his left foot jammed under the wheel arch of the GT-R ? Is that you Greg ?? (uneducated guess :geek: )

That's the best pic as it clearly shows the difference between the long and short bonnetts. Was there a design reason for this change when the GT-R was developed ??

Cheers and thanks,

B.

Hi Guys, arrived home 9.40pm tonight, Good trip with no flood water problems. All 3 cars performed like little troopers with no major problems and covered over 2700k's in 13 days, including a couple of quite laps of Mt Panarama. :D
Cheers Geoff

Hey Gricey I did call in, but all the lights were out and as I know you go to bed at 5.30pm and like to kick the chooks off the roost in the morning, decided not to wake you.

The Bellett with the short bonnet has the windscreen wipers running in the other direction, so the wiper blade stands up straight in front of the driver to give a better sweep. so the two pannels that replace the long bonnet have a receiver for the wipers.
Hope that helps. :D
