Warman Special

The latest from creation from Hot Roddings mad genius...
You can also check out the Warman special in the latest Street Machine magaizine (Pg 60), it’s a sweet story of a grandfathers inspiration, especially when his own father said “those cars will get you nowhere boy!”

My mum the rebel...

Well as much as you could be in small town Victoria in the mid-60's!

As I will be out of action for a while... here's a little story to keep you occupied (it's Rod's Ramblings from the latest Cruzin Magazine if the pic doesn't come up too clear.) It's about when my dad asked my mum to get down on the floor of the back of his Hot Rod to act as a balis (weight to add traction!) during a street drag race... though I have to say my mum tells the story better (probably with more embellishment!)

My mum also got caught once getting out of the boot of someones car at the drive in so they could avoid paying... except the driver pulled up next to some friends of my Granny and Jack! (for anyone who knows my Granny... she has eyes everywhere!) She got in big trouble for that one!!!

My New Wheels...


So it's not quite a Hot Rod... Maybe I should change the name of my Blog to UteDrivingLibrarian

Quiz Time!

I think It should be called The Little Red Truck but the boy thinks that The Uterus would be more appropriate! What do you think?

Most sports only require one ball....

Check out these pictures of my dad drag racing at Heathcote Park, December 1985... The Throttle Jammed on and he lost control... The starter is still talking to him!











These pic's made it to the paper...
Just another day out for Rod Hadfield! (or more evidence of Rod's trail of destruction hey mum!)

I have been violated...

Ladies and Gentlemen, The web has let me down...

Seems I may have unwittingly gotten caught up in and Internet/ebay scam whereby someone posing as me is trying to scam $4000 out of a guy who was interested in buying my car. Lucky I had my phone number in the listing and the guy contacted me directly...


By the way... the car is not for sale for $4000, rather $9500, hence the guy is not buying it now!


Anyone interested?

My morning with Little Miss and other stories

Hello Dear Readers,
Are there any of you out there other than my Mum?
Please say hello sometime and let me know your there!

Ive been having a lazy morning with Little Miss, ABC kids, hot cross buns and cheese on toast!

She's a clever one is my Little Miss... now I know we all get sick of hearing that from parents... but here's some proof...

Today she put on her own nappy... (OK so it was actually one of those pull up things) I was letting her have a bit of nudey time whilst running her bath then suddenly she shows up fully nappied out, it was even the right way round and everything which is better than I can often do!

She can pick out makes of car... (sort of) Toyota's are Oma's car, BMW's are Grammy's car, Holdens are Daddy's car and anything resembling a Hot Rod is Grumpy's car!

Reminds me of someone...

When I was in Kinder they did some random test where they put something in front of the child and they are supposed to say what it is, they put down a matchbox car in front of me and asked me what it was.

I said "It's a Chevy!"

They looked at my Mum all confused until she said "She's right".

It was a 55 Chev, same as we had at home at the time.

I am Cleva.

Little Miss is in Bed now... thank god for naps!

I have way too many things planned for that short space of time.

Bye!

This information may come in handy for my next fishy idea!
