@flyingspares Balmy days in the sunshine, heater will not get much use.

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@flyingspares Be interesting to see it cleaned, and hear if you find anything too dramatic. I like the Everflex it gives the car a special look.

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@ListerLawrence Must have been a lovely trip heading into dusk. Hopefully it wasn’t hot.

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@bouta_nt No! The trip down to Canberra from Sydney is far worse.

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@ListerLawrence It reminds me of the situation whenever @Flying Spares gets Bentley Continental GT’s. No matter how nice it appears, they break them. Better for parts.

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@GrogsGamut @msmarto I heard you talking to James on ABC radio, and I wholeheartedly agree with you. They the press, were scared shitless to ask anything of Pauline.

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@carwowuk Never use them, way too much unnecessary tech.

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@flyingspares Another delightful read, and lucky I live in Australia, as the cost of transport would be greater than the vehicle itself. This car looks like something I’d like to play with.keep. But, as those playing with old cars, boats & houses, it’s money 💰and one thing after another.

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@flyingspares Your story of the car and trying to rescue/restore, is a salient reminder of the true cost, in time, money and dedication required of car restoration.

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@flyingspares That is one nice colour combo.

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@flyingspares I noticed the nicely worded sign on the firewall, and I wondered if Jack Barclay were still in business, and they are. Please excuse my ignorance, as I’m from a the far away colony of Australia.

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@bouta_nt Nice day for a stroll with the kids.

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@flyingspares Another great piece of writing in the blog. The previous owner has done the easy part of restoring a car, pulling it apart. Such fun, until you realise what’s before you.

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@SkyNewsAust Really, whilst what happened at Bondi was absolutely atrocious, there are other things happening in the country, but still the right wing mobs go on and on like a stuck record.
Albanese is supposed to be the “worst prime minister “ever to draw breath.
Move on !

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@flyingspares The he commentary on the car’s arrival and first impression, it 👍 . I love reading them.
This car has something about it, and not having the side mirrors, gives the car a better appearance.
It might an interesting car to leave as is, patina and all!

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@Peter_Fitz No, it will be just like the illegal cigarettes. The government is losing money hand over fist, and can’t seem to fix the problem.
I suspect it will be some similar, that in reality they won’t be able to control.

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@flyingspares It certainly has character, what a find.

[Ian Boland @mowital]

@flyingspares I think it the costs of restoring that could be a deterrent. Unless you are able to most things yourself, it can really be a money pit.

@flyingspares That looks a nice.
