    I will leave you with this Trans-Am site that does a wonderful coverage from the past to the present.
    As Roger has said, I need to pay more attention to my work, talk to my wife and give you guys a break from khyndart in Ca. (It has been fun )

    Sorry to read that Ken, who is Roger.

    I want to keep in contact, as enjoyed your company at La Guna Seca and want to catch up again, with time to spare hopefully.

    Rod,
    "Roger" is another name for a person at work who has monitored my scanning, copying and my time on TRS while at work and was making it an issue. Judy thought no one in NZ is interested in what I was entering now the "shoe box " was empty and I have to take more care of her etc. So I thought I had better close this down. But after 24 hours and getting some encouraging comments and having a talk to "Roger" to chill out etc. I am going to stick around until further notice. OK ?
    ( Laguna awaits us ! )
    Cheers,
    Ken

    Ken - don't give us all a fright like that. Yes this site can become quite addictive and we all get quite wound up in it. Looking forward to some more of your great input. The shoe box might be empty but the old memory cells aren't so keep making your comments. Hopefully I can make it to Laguna Seca next time and catch up with you in person.
    We all appreciate that which everyone brings to such a forum. Plenty of stuff I hadn't heard before and photos that are new.

    Ken absolutely wonderful news that you are going to stay on. Really look forward to more interesting posts.

    In the following is the FIA Homologation papers for the '70 Challenger.
    Interesting that they had to be signed off by the manufacturer and that 2,500 had to be made.
    Refer the 17 orange boxes across the top.
    I can't seem to see any mention of brakes, but may have missed it.

    Also interesting to look at the other pages of the site listed down LH side.

    Again so pleased you are staying on, Terry

    Ok, now we have that sorted, Ken, of you go and find another shoe box (a big bugger at that), just spread your time between us and "Roger' and all be good.

    PS if needed we can look after Roger, have contacts.

    Geez John,
    That does sound so tempting. Do you need my NZ bank acct # so you can deposit the money for the ticket ?
    Seriously John, I think with Judy not doing so good we will probably stick pretty close to home this year, but my Moss boss is heading to NZ about May and I wondered if you would mind if he contacted you ? He is a good man but I need you to email your contact information again please.
    Thanks again for the invite.
    Cheers,
    Ken
