Shit Wal, you look just like Jay Gatsby from the Great Gatsby with that old Auburn ;D. There was an old Auburn roadster sitting out in a paddock in Barrellan. It'd been in a pretty big head on prang, probably in the fifties, and the years and weather hadn't done it any favours. Naturally the old cocky wouldn't consider selling it, he was "going to do it up one day". It's probably still there, even more rotten than it was in 1982.

 In my drive way after a little drive.
 
Everything works, supercharger, two speed diff, 11" hyd. brakes all fully restored and on its first shakedown run 1935 model 852 150 hp @4000rpm.
 Last time I drove one was about 1969, my late dads s/c Phaeton.

Awsome Wally, lets hook a trailer up to the Auburn and do the trip to next years OZ titles in Temora in style?

 That would be cool Slides, but I don't think my friend Ken would lend it somehow!
