Hydrofoil "Sydney" delivery from Newcastle to Sydney 1984/85
มุมมอง 22K11 ปีที่แล้ว
Second of the new RHS160F hydrofoils, "Sydney" could carry 235 passengers at 38 knots. Shown here on delivery voyage from Newcastle to Sydney, Sydney made the passage from Nobby's Hd to North Head in 1 hr 37minutes. She and sistership Manly were better suited to a coastal passage such as this than the 6nm between Sydney and Manly. Captain Bill Thomas in command, Dave Stimson as mate. I was one ...

New Hydrofoil stop work meeting 1984
มุมมอง 1.7K11 ปีที่แล้ว
Stop work meeting for Master's regarding introduction of new "second generation" hydrofoil "Manly" in 1984 held onboard "Curl Curl" at No 2 Jetty Circular Quay. This period in the early 80's saw significant investment in the Manly Ferry service for the first time in decades with the introduction of four new 1100 passenger "Freshwater" class Manly Ferries and two new 235 passenger 37 knot hydrof...
Queenscliff Dispute
มุมมอง 1.8K11 ปีที่แล้ว
Industrial Relations 1980's style. "Queenscliff" tied up over dispute between Urban Transit Authority management and the then Merchant Services Guild representing Master's. Management of the day offered master's choice of a 24v archaic camper style electric oven and hotplate or a microwave oven but not both! And we think Harbour City Ferries is tight in 2013! One very nervous looking manager an...

Old footage from Channel 9 News in the early 80's of Sydney Storms and Manly Ferry cancellations. Massive yaw from "North Head" on face of a wave. Note hydrofoil "Dee Why" or "Palm Beach" looking perfectly poised in the background.

Lap time recorded with a sundial.
And? How nice does it sound!
Wonderful sound from that engine. This clip really reminds me how nicely those 1800s ride and handle - I had a 1967 Mk. I Morris back in the '90s. Super sophisticated for its day, with front-rear anti-lock brakes and that amazing hydraulic suspension. Loved it. Sadly stolen or I'd have kept it until it now I'm sure.
Lovley sweet noise
Was the Evan Green silverstone video ever uploaded pls??
Go Landcrabs
Austin 1800 MK2 best car I ever owned would order one tomorrow if they were made today,always fancied the Wolseley 18/85 with the MGB engine absolutely stunning with its luxury interior and great performance brilliant.
David Ellis ,I agree good car the 1800 I’ve had three of them over the years but have a Citroen now.
Oh wow is the track open to the public for events.
It's a 60 km/h public road, two way when not used for a race event. Patrolled frequently by the police highway patrol. Very steep in parts and you have to be careful coming down through the cutting and onto 'Conrod Straight'. You get an appreciation of what speed race cars would be doing. Always good fun.
Is it a Mk1 with horizontal rear lights, or a Mk2 with verical rear lights? Wasn't the Morris a bit more upmarket? I haven't been in an 1800 since 1986.
That's a great video. Would love an 1800 with a motor tuned like that. Would be interesting to see a race between your 1800 and an MGB. I think you'd kill an MGB around Mt Panorama.
I own a landcrab and we are planning to put an mgb head in it.
Get an 1800S
Greg Murphy must of been a little nervous about his lap record seeing you rock up to Mt Panorama. Your lucky the cops didnt give you a ticket for holding up traffic.
Is that engine been tuned up ? It sounds great .
Thanks for your comments. Yes, engine has been modified and tuned by former owner Hans Pedersen. Bored out to 1960cc, Yella Terra Roller Rockers, ported and polished head with custom made exhaust valves, hand made long centre branch stainless steel extractors and free flow exhaust system,light weight pushrods, twin HIF 1.75 inch SU's, MSD multi spark ignition, rod gearchange, oil cooler, auxillary radiator, Davis Craig thermatic fan. Hans makes supercharger kits for A, B and C series engines and same spec extractors but no longer from stainless steel. Many more small mods and improvements too numerous to mention.You can find Hans on the internet at HP Products, he is in Victoria.
did this in a Morris Marina in 2003, and it is on you tube, lap time of 6.22min
Good on you bigcarle, not many 1800's or Marina's could claim to doing a lap around Mt Panorama.
bigcarle you mean 6 hours 22 don’t you ? 😉
Excellent stuff - on behalf of all Austin 1800 owners I say "Well Done Sirs!" :-)
Glad you enjoyed it Steve. Obviously straight from camera without editing without any idea of posting on TH-cam when we started filming. Hats off to another 1800 owner!
Thanks Jimmy. What a tragedy to lose Paul and the wonderful team that made up that show. Shame on Channel 10 for righting him off too soon. Planning on plenty more uploads of Paul soon so stay tunes.
