Diseased & loving it

Love your work Morley, as a long time reader of Unique Cars magazine and longtime Holden enthusiast and racer (I present ly race a Group N EH Holden).

I cannot fathom the amount of mail your EJ red-motor discussion is generating ! As a lways, t he f irst t hing I do when I purchase UniqueCars is go straight to your column and it never fa ils to put a smile on my face. The pic of the specia l-order EJ wit h t he red-motor number plate is a classic.

Keep up the good work, and I can hardly wait for t he next issue of Unique Cars to see what else you can unearth in this most interesting disease t hat we a ll share…t he motor car.

AW SHUCKS, Claude. That’s very kind of you. (And can I just point out that Claude is no relation, nor does he owe me money.) It’s great to get feedback, even if it’s only so we know what we’re doing wrong here at UC. Like you, Claude, I’m also amazed at the reaction to the red-motored EJ myth, but, hey, if it’s what you guys and gals want to talk about, who am I to argue?

The other topic that has blown me away with the reaction to it, has been the subject of two-stroke diesels. Now, I know this is no truck magazine, but a phat sounding engine is cool no matter what it’s mounted in. And along the way, I’ve learned a few things about an engine layout I had previously heard mentioned in passing, but that was about all. So we’re all learning as we go. Perfect.
