Just watching Bathurst and they are calling the 2 Nissan's the "Norton Hornets". Sounds like a good enough reason to cheer them on I reckon. Go the Hornet's!!!!Tongue

Hornet name or not, I'll be following Nissan as the 'underdog' against Ford & Holden. Is that why I've got Ramblers perhaps ?

The yellow Norton Hornet Nissan's were probably the nicest looking cars too Smile

Australia's only registered Gremlin at the drags in Sydney Australia
 
 
 
I had a chat with the owner the other day. Very interesting little car (I forgot to ask him about the rear seatbelts, if any, GremX) It has a blown AMC 401. The block was a new old stock item bought from Jim at Mascot Motors when it was open. Hopefully he may be able to make the trip for the 1st annual Australian AMC/Rambler & 60th anniversary AMC show in Albury next year but he is a busy fella so we will have to wait and see. It would certainly attract a LOT of attention I reckon as most of us have never seen one in person. Here's hoping Smile

That's pretty awesome, fairly safe to to say it is the quickest AMC in Australia, at least with AMC power anyway. Might have to resurrect the Aussie 1/4 times thread.

One more for the collection thanks to some detective work by 70Hornet, another speedway Hornet from back in the 80's.

Here is a good one of Ben Ludlow's Gremlin after a big win. Just check out the cars in the background:




For Facebookers, there is lots of good stuff on the Ludlow Racing page:
