There is NO way you would recognise this place since the 1990's.It has changed enormously since 2000. Mainly due to the resources boom,Queensland is (allegedly ) rolling in the cash. It hasn't rained much since 2001 so the humidity and big storms we had every spring have become a thing of the past.
So washing cars has become illegal ...if you get caught it's big fines.
You mention the Coronation Hotel..did you mean the Regatta on Coronation Drive? .You can't stay there now,it's become a trendy watering hole for the rich young things who live the Toowong area.Coronation drive has become a traffic choked nightmare .
Your parents live an idilic life style.The house appears to be 1800-1900's vintage. I restored one similar in the late 1980's in Glen Innes,northern NSW.
Cheers! i'll check this Euro 500 in the workshop and post up just exactly where your vacuum leads need to be.All these cars a different!.
This weekend is Indy weekend so the Gold Coast is place to avoid

I've been spending a lot of time on all these forums in the last few days trying to find info on a 500SEC I'm tuning for a customer...and I've spent more time replying to questions...LOL!!! |
Wow, there is a 500 SEC in Brisbane...
Coronation was on the river
I had a room that looked out on it
It was $95 a day then so after 2 or 3 days I rented a room in a house in Brisbane for about 2 days in a hotel I got 2 weeks...LOL
I walked along the river into town..remember Queen St
Had a friend who had a music shop around there in the late 80's.
Glen Innes is not that far we are a little more north in the mountains by Tenterfeild...Yep its an old town
One of the first towns!!!! but don't think the house is that old...
but there are some in town late 1800's
No rush on the vac advice but I would really appreciate your insight on trying to get this car back into better form thought its running ok
cept for the hi cold idle which doesn't bother me & the hard warm/hot starts which is a pain..
I really have to figure out what to do with the ICV to make it run best.
If its just the ICV maybe get the correct one & the tubing...
So is that the 500 SEC apart?
Cool!
