STOLEN A9X
BONNET SCOOP
On Monday night, 13 April,
someone stole the bonnet scoop off an A9X in Penguin. As you
can imagine the owner is not happy and wants it back. If
anyone can help, please e-mail us or give me a call on 0439
371314. Otherwise please let everyone know and keep a look
out as a genuine A9X scoop is different than your average
aftermarket item.

NEW WORKSHOP WITH DYNO
IN BURNIE
Southside
Performance & Dynos have recently opened up at 60 Main
Street, Wivenhoe, and offer all mechanic needs, services,
4WD repairs and spare parts. The Dyno is set to take cars
and bikes.
They also
have a Soda Blast machine which is the latest equipment in
blasting. It uses food grade Bicarbonate Soda which is water
soluble with no mess and is 100% environmentally friendly.
By using the Soda Blast you don't have to paint and prepare
straight away unlike normal blasting methods, you have up to
3 months to paint. It strips motors and engine parts quickly
and effectively. The Soda Blast is fully portable and can be
hired on an hourly basis with operator included in the
price, or smaller jobs can be dropped off. Other uses
are removing graffiti, paint on timer and marine residue.
Southside Performance &
Dynos are having an open day on 4th April coinciding with
the Auto Show in Burnie, and have invited us to come and
celebrate with them and bring our cars out to put on the
Dyno. There's a special rate for the day but you are advised
to book. The Open Day will start from 3pm after the Auto
Show.
Contact - Darren on 6432

Tas Rally Toranas
Two
Toranas are entered in this years Rally which started from the Burnie
Yacht Club this afternoon. Entrants are long time Tasmanian rally &
Targa competitor David Cooper and his navigator Brad Sherriff the mighty SS
hatch and Donn Todd and Dean Tighe from Queensland in their Jasmin yellow A9X sedan who have also been regular entrants in Tas Rally and Targa over the years.
David Cooper's car has a change of colour as it was aquarius, however
when he peeled his sponsors stickers off, the paint also peeled off so
he decided to repaint it white which will be the colour of the new hatch
he is currently building. We hope to run a feature on David's new car in
the future.
