He was pushed off was he? LOL.
I remember him coming up to me at Levels one meeting when I was having a one off drive in Malcolm Webb's spare VD. His words to me were "I don't know how you...
I was at that meeting as an enthusiastic spectator. At a later date I was told, or read, that Red was enticed to that meeting by substantial appearance money. However the cheque was never cashed....
The second Monaro was sold by Silvester to a guy surname George whose first name escapes me right now.
I think it was sold as a shell or rolling shell and I did some work on the rear suspension...

Thanks for that Dale. I have carried this discussion across to the FF thread.
From the “how many classes” thread
