I'll see if we can get a little footage on Thursday, although, in the middle of a sunny week, they're giving rain for that particular day.
Oh, and by the way ITG, we're looking at a minimum of 30 on the grid in Sept.

Heya PomBell, what are the chances of uploading a little of Rolies new singing voice on utube for a little listen?
The last thing I heard him say at Coona as I pressed my ear to his hood was 'thank you GT n Tourer for luvin' me enough to take me home'
I for one would love to hear what he has to say now.

That was a big effort there PB i am pleased you gave rolie a new lease of life, after sitting around waiting all them years. It was a tight schedule you had and a credit to not only you but the team that helped this happen. I see gazzweld on the forum so i will assume that you got more history. STRUTH i have not heard that word for years  like stick another shrimp on the barbie never heard that used other than advertising tv has a lot to answer for  . You told me once your partner handles your finances man she did a brilliant job  . best of luck Greg

Magic, awesome, fantastic, brilliant and all the other superlatives for such a great job.
Thank you for the pictures of the competition as well.
Those Polaras are just so cool, especially the 426 Max Wedge cars !!!!
We will all be waiting with you for Rollies entry confirmation.
Cheers
Rob

Hi Pom B Fantastic, thoroughly inspiring job. I can only agree with all the other comments. Rolie looks so good and definitely stands out as being different from the others. You mentioned that the opposition looked good too - no bluudy way.......it was all european crap - no offence intended Good luck YP

WOW!
um
WOW!
and er
WOW!
I don't know what else to say. You have transformed a humble country car into a truely beautiful piece of racing memorabilia. The last 2 photos are the best 2, a real nice touch.
Thanks PomBell for sharing.

Dude, when one of our NZ mates (Alistair) bought a 1970 Bellett, stripped it, worked it, restored it and did it all in about 3 months, I thought that was a top effort, but you may have trumped him!!!!
Damn it looks good and even got some professional shots of it as well!? If it hits Retro Cars UK magazine, let us know as they usually sell that here in the newsagecies.
That reproduction shot of the Bruce McLaren car is just ridiculously awesome as well. Top effort!!!!
Now just don't do what Alistair did; sell it and disappear (both him and the car, it seems) from the site forever!
Cheers,
Dave

Gee Pom and Co. This effort on Rolie will go down in Bellett history. (for a second time). I'm sure you'll get the nod from the officials. Many a Beers deserved to get this far so quickly. Agreed, would be great to see and hear Rolie in action, sticking the wind up the opposition B.
