Not a dumb question Ray! As a Lewis owner my experience suggests best not to have thread, no delay getting the bungs out!!
Will make it very easy for Pink Bits to sit in the back and pull them out while under way to keep her pink shoes dry.
Funny your post the other day re running repairs to the Worry, I assume you didn't sell it with the paint, so no doubt you were able to do the repair and the touch up with you know what's?
Mate if anyone deserves Ronda it was you well done and the best of luck and finally I also am aware you are after another spot light for your car, how about the one on Ronda's deck?
Cheers cobber

Re: Ronda
Well, the test run went brilliantly!! I can only say that she goes and handles as good as she looks. More to come on that later! I spoke to the chap i bought it from tonight and he has confirmed that it is definately Ronda as there was some conjecture that it may have been Ronda 2. This came about because there was another Ronda that was owned by the same people that caught fire and burnt before this one came to be, but Ronda 2 was a skiff, although i'm led to believe it had the same hull design but fitted out as a single cockpit. Was also told that the holden red fitted to Ronda 2 cost them 1,000 pounds to build (pre decimal currency?) I will get to meet the original owner at Paynesville in March

Re: Ronda
Not as a complete unit. Parts from the build are in an XU1
Re: Ronda
Bet it would cost a bit more than a thousand quid nowadays.
"Quid"! Did I say that? Showing my age now.

Re: Ronda
Was built to compete against injected Falcon speedway engines and a particular Waggott headed Grey in "Screamin Eagle" and was right up there with that competition then along came a Repco Brabham from an F1 car and the rest became history.
When my grand children ask where did you keep your money when you where young Pop ? the answer is "in Hazelwood Pondage surround by wooden planks and Plywood"
Speed always costs money but what Racer would want it any other way.
