From the 66 Wigram meeting.

Good prize money on offer!!!!!!!!!!!!
Graham, these old programmes are amazing! We had a dedicated thread somewhere on here for this stuff, I should try and find it so these can be included. They make great reading!
hi woody #60 t. hickey, fiat, this car may have been a topolino with t\c ford, or pushrod motor. but what i can remeber it was nicely presented. are there any photos out there of l nielsons mk 111 zephyr corvette,as i remember it was amajor mission just to start the car , switchs, taps, etc . memory is abit hazey
This is Waimate 66.
I think Lin had trouble with the blocks on the pedals. Went a lot better in the Mini.
The Ted Thompson Mini twin cam was an amazing piece of work - grafting the Ford block onto the Mini bottom end. Ted was totally deaf, wasn't he?Quote:

And he did this 3 weeks before I turned up at my sister's place to pick them all up!! Bastard!

Wow, these photos are just superb! Thanks for posting them. What is the green car #8 in post 90?
Daimler Special-SP250 V8 motor, now owned by Paul Coory-Dunedin
Tell us more about it!
I have a photo somewhere with hood removed I think , but thats about all I know for now. Maybe someone has more pics taken in pits during meeting, I was not there, got busy checking out a proper mustang that weekend.[ Better than all those HMC clones:) ]
Thanks for the info on the Daimler Special Jac. Is it a newly built car for VCC? Or does it have history?
More photos of the 1959 Daimler Special (Coory) I took over the weekend at Speedfest - Teretonga 2013

This pic was taken shortly after car was purchased, looks better for the de-chrome & loss of whitewallsAttachment 16507
Wow, thats really cool! Who built it Jac?
Also, what was the Mustang you were playing with? Did Steve Ross bring out the PDL I?
Attachment 16536Paul did tell me but I cant remember, will be talking with him sometime in next few weeks, just have to remember to ask for more info!! Mustang in question has much more history than PDL! Owner was kind enough to allow us to crawl all over it taking pics & notes for one of the items on my tank list...used to be a bucket list, but bucket got too small... BTW, 'Dove of Peace' did a fly by @ Teretonga during the Sunday lunch break, one lucky SFOS driver getting a ride in the back seat at the time, had a brief chat with him prior to takeoff, think he had a few more butterflies than his race car ever generated:)
Damn, thats nice!

PLEASE tell me im wrong but is that a bunch of modern BMW Minis at the back of the Pre 65 pack, surely this isn't a race!! must be just practice or at some other event? or is it safety cars? or are these late model Minis considered a classic at classic events down there? Im sorry but that pic just doesn't look rite.
Dale M
I think the Minis were purchased after the Mini Challenge Series fell over, unsure who owns them (except Scott O'Donnell owns the black one). They raced each other not the Pre65's in the same race space. Sorry I suppose I could have photoshopped them out
Maybe we should tell Dale that the Pre 65 field had just lapped the entire group of BMW Minis, just to make him feel better!!!:):rolleyes:.... actually that #65 car in third place looks like the Rodger Cunningham car, doesnt it run HMC as well?
Where is the TRV Tuscan in pic 117, can anyone tell me?
