Hey Sheik
Cool to hear that Bob has been updated regarding the existance of the car.
Did you ask him about pics and/or the history of the car.
I am sure it would be of interest to those viewing this post.
Regards
Alex

Bob is touring SA at the moment & said when he gets back ,we will get together & have a look through his stuff ,can't wait.
Spoke to number of blokes in Deni today & Bear (Brian ) said that he was there the day the photos were taken in 69 ,spoke to Col who did the signwriting & he is going to look through his shed as he is certain he still has the photos he took when he did the signwriting.

it sure as hell isn’t going to be the reason that I die.

The Thing is very, very cool 8). Reminds me of something Tommy Ivo would have strung together.

Would love to see some photos of it when it makes it back to the track.

Cheers,
