Hi everyone. My name is James, from nsw.
I currently am a 2nd year trainee, in Outdoor Power Equipment. I work full time and I love what I do at work, but only recently have looked into the old victas when one stumbled into work for repairs. I love the shape of the old victas with the plastic cowls. (They just don't make cool stuff anymore). Anyway, I love fixing the power torques at work, and have rebuilt a few at work, and restored a few for myself. I am going to slowly collect the old victas and start a collection. I have started with a victa vc mustang, 1975 with a mark iv 160cc engine, which I am currently restoring. (I might upload pictures).

Anyway, I think this forum is cool. I hope to share some tricks with you guys, and I appreciate any help u guys give me, as I see there is a lot of knowledgable people here.
Thank you.
