It's getting like that over this way too.

Take the number of MX5s in the 6-hour for example.
I have a prediction - I reckon the next phenomena will be the GT86.

Sound advice

from Lightburn in the 50s

Swansong GT

Doesn't look too bad and the specs sound good.

A few photos sitting on my desktop.

These were from the McLaren Vale Classic Vehicle Wine and Food Event this year. Ross came over and drove Jim's Nagari down. Andrea brought out the NSX. We have an affinity with the NSX mob which is nice.
"Fairladies" young and old.

Lucky it was his head he landed on.

Udo is conscious and doing OK after his fall from the balcony.

Meanwhile, over in the wild, wild west.

It was Albany round the houses weekend and ace motorsport photographer, Stacey N captures the atmosphere.
If you look closely in this pit area you might be able to make out a black Mk.7.
and if this flaggy didn't get in the way, you'd see it again.
At least the other official was taking time out for a cuppa.
Ah, here it is in the distance.

The latest from Spain in pictures.

The latest addition to the racing stable - a 944 turbo and look what Joe and Ramon have been up to lately with the Bolwell.

Matlock Police.

Peter G has come up with another drama featuring a Nagari. This time in Matlock Police in 1973.
It's B8/93 which at the time was retained by Bolwell as a demo car before being sold to Campbell's cousin, Peter Thiry in Wentworth, NSW. Peter retained the car until 1979 when it turned up in Adelaide, going through a number of owners before eventually being bought by Sue Lewis in Sydney. It was or is metallic blue.

Division 4

Have heard from Howard Crawford. LKO-893 was built by Howard's father, Eric. He later got the number plates BN-880 (it is chassis B8/80, now owned by Guy Smith). Howard would love to get hold of a copy of the episode to show his dad. That can be arranged I'm sure. He has sent a copy of a letter from Crawford Productions (no relation) regarding the episode.

Kapunda - Week 76.

Lots of rods and a bright yellow Cobra replica at the swap meet yesterday but here's a couple that caught my eye.
This Stude pickup, my ideal ute.
and a very nice GT.
