Best wishes for a speedy recovery from all of down under

I'm trying to stay within about a 10 hour flight from Melbourne so it rules out the mainland - we like a bit of variety when we're traveling so some history/scenary/shopping. Some of the pacific islands are really nice but dont' really have that variety (e.g new caladonia has fantastic beaches but history wise there isn't much to see)
-
I’m not necessarily trying to be cheap, more work out value for money most of the travel agents around here are pretty bad, they just tell you to go places they or their company get kickbacks from
-
The food looks pretty reasonable/cheap compared to what we pay in Australia so not too worried about that - it’s mostly the accomodation that seems to be really pricey (relative to everything else) We’ve travelled the mainland fairly extensively at this point so mostly looking to do thing specific to Hawaii rather than generic US things (I’m up to about 30 states now…)

Hi guys, A bit off topic with this one, but I'm planning out a trip for my wedding anniversay and have been thinking about a trip to Hawaii and was wondering if any locals had any pointers Firstly are there any antique car must seen sights? The aircraft museum and of course pearl harbour will be must sees The prices of hotels around Waikiki seems ludicrously expensive, is there anywhere max 30-45 mins drive that are reasonablely priced that people would recommend? (that then don't have a parking fee that makes it just as expensive...) We've got a 3 year old so we're trying to find a suite where he can go to sleep and we're not forced to go to bed at 7pm

Do you currently have a broken one? most hear riser systems are bypassed as they’re not required these days

We’ve had the Buick out in the rain and it’s pretty miserable even with the curtains up - plenty of spray still gets in

Mpg - sources of data for prewar vehicle fuel consumption?

I thought it was much much higher than that (something like 30mpg) -
1923 1924 1925 Buick Fisher Body parts books

They'll go quickly, hopefully by someone willing to share The Cadillac's have excerpts from the books that contain a subset of parts -
from memory the manual says the easiest way of doing it is to unbolt the rear diff and roll it back out of the way and then remove the tranny
-
are you removing the rear diff?
-
They introduced that here because there was no way to make a turn lane longer so they make you go 150m down the road and the bay is much longer, it's still controlled by a traffic light We also have hook turns (which are more common for cyclists) https://www.drive.com.au/caradvice/how-to-do-a-hook-turn/ which make you turn right from the left lane so that trams can pass

That was one thing that COVID did show though, how many totally unneccesary trips were being made

1920 Buick K-44 starter generator issue
hidden_hunter replied to Orange County Sean's topic in Technical
Have you confirmed the motor itself turns? I would pull it out and bench test it -
Very common here, especially in Canberra which is known as the city of roundabouts - they work exceptionally well there. The things that work in there favour there are 1) you take a wrong turn and in the ACT there is generally a parallel road that might take one or two minutes longer but will get you there 2) in peak they control them using traffic lights 3) the roads were designed with them in the first place so they're large and purpose built 4) you have excellent visibility on most roundabouts so you don't even have to slow down in most cases and can go through them at 50mph. The main parts of Canberra with bad traffic are the areas where someone had a brainwave and messed with it..

The earlier dual point cars you could build a test light, is this just an easier way of accomplishing the same thing or does it do something else -
