64 kiwi boni

In Rembrandt park we found a nice steak house , the sirloin was perfectly cooked with a side of wrongways favourite onion  rings and grilled corn 😜

And I justA had to try another local beer … 

swinckles … which was very nice … and cold 👍🍺

And a few places we visited today around Amsterdam and Utrecht which is a 21 minute train ride out of Amsterdam 

Came across this crazy lady ! 

Check out the pretzels !!

And it wouldn’t be Amsterdam without crazy cookies …. And lots more interesting drugs!!! , the smell reminded me of standing over the vents from the sub way in New York !! 

Our first whole day here and what stands out is transport ! Bicycles are clearly the favourite way to get around along with trains and trams  

Amsterdam central … trains are super easy to get around on here !

First thing !! Lunch !!! 
with a Heineken 🍺

Maybe Amsterdam? London? Copenhagen? Long way around isn’t it? Where ever it is, they will be a little better for it! After all Kiwis are good for you!

And the winner is last Indian !!!

we just got in .. we have been flying for 21 hours and 2 flights !

we flew over Lake Superior and across the bottom of Greenland and here we are in Amsterdam !

We were booked to fly via Dubai ! But they had a one in a hundred year rain storm and our flights where cancelled !!

so the boss made new bookings via LA ! 

I had the same issue with my mig , I even replaced the drive wheel , but all it was was a worn tip ! So justA keep that in mind , as soon as it gets worn/ dirty swap that copper tip out 👍

Hi Mike, I'm hearin' ya. Prices for everything have skyrocketed and playing with old cars is now akin to buying paintings from the old masters. Lotsa cash involved and most of what you pay for is hidden from sight. Spent lotsa moola on new suspension & steering? Unless you crawl under the car, you'd never know! We all know that unless you've had the car forever and paid almost nothing for it initially, you're not going to make any money. Let's be honest - it's throwing money into a black hole. The way around this is to quantify those dollars as 'pleasure.' Yeah, I know. I also struggle with the concept of setting fire to money and getting apparent pleasure from it. Lots of peeps have an addiction - gambling, alcohol, drugs, whatever. If like me your addiction is an old car, you're doing fine in comparison to what you COULD be addicted to. And anyway, once you're tooling around in that nice Firebird, it'll be worth it. Kids these days will be raised on fuel economy and greenness instead of horsepower. We got lucky.

I will drink to that 🍻

Just out of curiosity, what sort of things did you have to do to the Cortina to make the digital dash work with analog sensors, or did you have to replace the sensors too?

super easy mate, you buy all the sensors with the new dash, i had to make a adaptor for the ford speedo drive out of the 5 speed gear box to fit the speed sensor too, then its very much all plug n play i had 2 ports to fit temp sensor into so 1 for the dash and 1 for the ecu.

all the gauges have cad 4 plugs and all wire to the controller

yeah Last indian !!! 

where is the art in  all that wireing and hosery

I have similar hopes for Lucy as well Kiwi, but it is pretty far down on the list of mods I still want to do to her. For the Camaro, I'd say go for it.

BE QUIET, Peasant!

Ah, Monty Python. They certainly nailed it with that little clip. The Autocrats vs the Great Unwashed. Not a lot has changed, except that the Great Unwashed now drive Pontiacs. Peel me another grape, Deirdre.

Haha @ where the commoner says, oh that’s the king , cause he hasn’t got shit on him …. So can relate that to today’s world !!!
