Lawrie, nice shots of the two 33 sedans. Both ex NZ cars I believe. I notice your front bumper has the wide 26" spacing on the centre mounting holes which were on 34s.. Your mates car has the 22" spacing which was standard on most 33s. All Aussie built 33 & 34s had the 1933 close spaced bumpers. Regards, Kevin.

Terry,smoko is our slang for morning tea break.You have a snack with your fag ,woops, cigarette hence we call it smoko.I have heard that it started in the sheep shearing sheds back early last century. Your equivalent to a coffee break I guess. Although post "baby boomers" hardly,if not at all,don't use the term.

Kevin,my 33 had a whack in the front right way before I got it,so maybe the number was changed then,
both 33,s were NZ new and came from the same area ,the previous owners were good mates,same now.
I just saw the weather on the news and the temp was 36C,no wonder we were hot.

Kpar, are you running that Skip Haney rewound coil on your '33?

Hi John, Not yet at the moment running a coil/dist donated by Lawrie Kyte. He has the rewound coils and is going to make another setup for me. When we finish touring around that is. Lawrie wanted to see how the ign advance was performing as I had a bit of pre-ignition on the run out. Typical of Lawrie he twigged the vacuum brake and now running sweetly.
