yep official i blew the gemini up

comming back from enchanted managed to get onto the surt high wya was going fine just sitting on 100kmh
all the dust blowing off the car cruising along than puff a huge cloud of smoke out the back, pulled over and opened the hood oil fucken every where

this was 15 km past truro about 100 kms from town

lucky a mate picked us up who was on the same way home


i think its just seals or something as it didnt over heat or nothing and the oil wasnt white, also the car park we drove through dust every where the engine bay is absolutely covered in dust so maybe dusnt into carby???

well looks like im gonna be driving the yellow gemini b4 its really ready
