Helene Bittner
Beven has been digging and found this old results sheet.
There must be some better results somewhere than this.

Challenge Bathurst.
Starts today. Kym Ninnes went over last year and had a ball.
This year he's back again with the Fidini and some of his Clubbie mates have also entered. Good luck fellas.
Stop Press. Here's Fidini arriving for this year's go.

Shades of SR6.
This is Peter Turnbull's Turnham TS8 from Tassie.
Quite a formidable unit especially in its home state. But like the SR6 it is powered by a red 6.
Admittedly it's a turbocharged 186 that puts out 400hp.
What made me think of the SR6 was the tomato stake bonnet prop.

Mk.4 coupes.
here's an ad from Auto Action or RCN a long time ago.
So long ago that Melbourne phone numbers only had 6 digits. There's no indication of what motor was in it except that it was fully worked. It's sticking up through the bonnet. Who was Mark Ingram? Its rego number is KLU-077. Does that ring a bell? Where is this car now? I presume it still exists.

Shed day.
Visits to Greg's and Kym's was a great event and well supported as well. You knew you were at the right place from the cars out the front.
Alan's Torana, Ron's Mk.7 and darren's RX8.
John's Mk.7.
Adrian's Cobra.
Chris' MX5
Pete's Mk.7
Meanwhile inside Greg's conclave, firstly the Corvette....
Then the GT40 which is ready to hit the road as soon as it can run on all 8. Greg's onto the problem though, something the experts couldn't find.
.......and finally the ex-Gourlay Nagari which has been making huge progress.
Pauline's Jag was still in its dust-proof cocoon.
Now off to Kym's.
Here's the Mk.4A ready for its rebuild after its accident damage.
A brand new bonnet awaits.
The Nc XY GT has just received its rebuilt engine. Kym started it up for us. That brought out the neighbours across the paddock. CAMS decibel police that have emerged since it last raced are going to love it.
Here's a car with a bit of history. It's Helene Bittner's old Rebelle.
In deference to Kym's obsession with huge International trucks, here's a little version in van form.
.....and here's our host slaving over a hot stove.
A very enjoyable day.
