Underground, Overground, Wombling free,
the Wombles of Wimbledon common are we,
making good use of the things that we find,
things that the everyday folk leave behind.

WICKED signature you've got there dude 
any pics or info on your clubman? it's not the one that was at speed on tweed last year is it?

Thanks - I've had the bloody wombles song in my head ever since I put it there though!!
To clarify - I missed a word, it's not my clubman, it's my mates dad's (middle-age crisis toy car!). It is a historic racer, built in Sydney 1969 and is called a (sp?) Schazum. I've got some photo's at home and will try to scan them in. Apparently 2 or 3 were built by the same guy and this is the only one left. It runs a 3K motor, ford escort gearbox (not sure why??) and a morris diff!.
My mate is an ex-go cart racer so can lap Mallala in 1.18" in the clubman - pretty good for a 3k! I couldn't even fit in the bloody thing!
Essentially it has a heavily ported head, big cam (unsure of specs), forged motorbike pistons (I think triumph ones), extractors, and twin 40mm sidedraft webbers. The compression ratio is 11:1 and it runs on avgas. He bought it like this so is unsure of some specs. When at full throttle (hell, even idling) it sounds bloody awesome!
