Leroy,

Saw you at the drags a couple of weeks ago. That little Gemini is, uh, tuff. I dunno if there's another word that would do it justice.

And hey, if Rod Hadfield can get a 27-litre Rolls-Royce aircraft-powered '55 Chev street registered, then I reckon you should be able to register ANYTHING providing that it's been fully engineered correctly.

But then again, Hadfield's '55 has some pretty stringent clauses in it's drivability.

To you little jerk offs with the laughing a insurance questions Im no little 16 year old, Im well over 25 so i will not need mummy to sign for me,it has no turbo which is what pushes the insurance prices up in young guys/girls
I have been fighting for this for the past 18 months and have finally got my approval of princable to do so...
The car will be fully enineered ATM the car insurance cost me agreed value of $20,000 cost me $479.00 p/athis is for what they call laid up insurance cos the car is not legally regoed with the V8 This just meens my car is insured until I trive it under its own power..

Thanks dave
some people have no idea and think if its not allowed then it cant be done..
