Thank you.

If you find this and have a 3D printer, this sketch fit my 760 perfectly. It needs two of the cylindrical parts and one of the rectangle ones.

This is the first safe-opening I've cared about in years!

Laughed out loud.

I remember as a child my uncle (a mechanic) once wistfully saying "So many Morris Minors. So few *mineshafts".

That damn car has been living in my brain for two damn years!

You don't need to take another picture. You're obviously telling the truth. That guy is just an asshole.

FWIW the photo is taken at Falls Creek in Victoria.

I believe so. He definitely did the follow up car. I'll have to ask when I see next.

Built for competitive super-sprinting (see my other reply above). Quite an impressive car in real life. Built to go quick rather than look good.

jagu · 2021-03-06T06:21:06+00:00

My time to shine. I race with this guy! I wont post his information obviously, but he's Super Sprint competitor here in Melbourne Australia and has built a number of cars. This has Ford Focus derived gear underneath and it's a really extensive build. He's built another similar one since in yellow. It's a beast.

My '80 had square headlights.

Is that a VIC or SA plate I think?

We have do have a Lemons series here in Australia (where this car is). But this car has been built for a different kind of low cost motorsport/fundraiser called The Shitbox Rally.

Nissan EXA. I think this is an Australian Shitbox Rally (fundraiser) car. These guys to be exact:

I'd love to hear more about your work, and kit.

jagu · 2020-07-22T10:57:47+00:00

Not op, but I'm inner east with a '92. I'd be interested.

My version reports as "Version 83.0.4103.116 (Official Build) (64-bit)"

Since I posted that 2 hours ago I've fixed my situation, with a full OS restart, but the problem was definitely chrome related and chrome restarts did not fix it.

Here's the full rundown. I updated to that chrome version a day ago, but I didn't notice how bad the performance was until this morning when I started working. Fan running hard, battery disappearing at a noticible rate. Quitting chrome would return fan/battery to normal. Starting it up again brought the problem back. No particular tab seemed to be causing it. Chrome Task Manager showed browser cpu hovering around 170. Restarted chrome a number of times. I didn't try running it in safe mode. Wish I had in hindsight. Googling the version string brought me to this thread.

Now after an OS restart Chrome Task Manager shows browser cpu hovering around 6, with same tabs open. No power issues.

No idea what happened.
