Birthday KC....Flying under radar, all the best for whatever day it was mate thumbsup

Allan, that just sucks mate, sorry to hear about the Camry, unusual for a Toyota then again, me and the misses (Ex :lol: ) had an old Camry wagon (A.K.A..The runaround, shoppin trolley, horse feed pickherupper car), then the rings went on the sucker, had the engine rebuilt however when you do the rings, you would think to look at the big end bearings whilst your got the thing in bits....not these guys.....she had to go back in for round 2 engine re-build :shock:
Thank god we only paid for the first re-build and they admitted the f.... up sweating
We drove that thing into the ground after that, I even put a pod filter on it and fabricated a clear air passage for it :lol:
She's Probably a washing machine now :cry: :lol:

That happens when you do too many back street burnouts and flog it to show off to your mate in the passenger seat.... did anyone check the rear tyre tread depth?
8:20am... wouldn't be extremely hot out, so for a maserati to overheat, it had to have just copped a flogging
Seen plenty of Lambo and Ferrari flame up vids but mostly because they spew unburnt fuel out the back which catches on the rear bar/diffuser/nappy and goes up in flame...
imagine me as an insurance adjuster lol

The mechanic is looking to keep the cost down for me and is looking for another engine or have the head done, That's the trouble owning a 23 year old car and the joys of owning a car. :D on the bright side saving a lot on fuel rofl

There has been a heat wave here mate, so it was in the high 30s around that time ;)

But your right, probably doing circle work prior :lol:

shouldn't be hard to find a camry engine. most camry's are driven by asians these days, so there would be plenty in the wrecking yard :lol:
