Great to see that you are settling in again and trying to remember where everything is and what the next job is. Looking forward to catching up again soon and I hope that all goes well for you.
I have recently received a Facebook message from Megan Baker of Christchurch who is trying to find photos of her late Dad racing cars in NZ. Here is her communication after I sent a couple of the...
That is a fantastic looking car and will be a great addition to the grids.
Looking good Dale - it is easy to see the work that goes into a car when you see such photos.
Looking at the different colours that appear from the different photos - can see why some people get...
Another garage to work in - hope you have a bit more room to complete that great looking Falcon.
Here are the entries for this weekend at Taupo. As you can see a great line up and a variety of cars.
1. #94 Brady McCaughan, Waipapa, Ford Capri 1972, Historic Muscle Cars/Historic...
Dave - at least you know exactly what has gone into the build of the car. Should be able to tick some of the boxes.
Here are some of the photos I took over the weekend of the teams and personalities who make up the class. Our invited Legends are always busy talking to people and, in my eyes, really make a hit...
Is there anything you can't turn your hand to. I'll line up behind Ken if you ever feel like taking demo runs.
I wholeheartedly agree Howard, without the tremendous amount of work put in by the Directors and all other helpers we would not have progressed as far as we have. I am sure that the racing we...
Nigel those photos are great especially the ones showing the Monaro on track with the HSC cars. Thank you John for allowing it to race with those Escorts, Capris and the other small capacity cars...
Really beautiful Paul. When all of the parts, in their different colours, start going back in it really brings everything else into focus. Is the engine ready to go in - it looks pretty smart...
Imagine if you had some coin and went along to that auction. Mouth watering collection.
It is hard to imagine what that car would have been like if the Porsche engine was available at the time. Still it will always hold a special place in NZ motorsport. Looking forward to the book...
Milan - I have pm'd you again.
Thank you very much for the info Milan. You are a champion.
Milan - I have pm'd you regarding these two photos above.
Mike
These two photos were taken at Baypark in October 1968 and were one of the first occasions the twin cam Ford Escorts raced in NZ. Does anyone have a program from this meet or be able to identify...
When that car first arrives at a circuit the people will be standing round admiring all of the work that we have read about over the rebuild time. Lovely work mate.
Interesting for us to see how its done and what is involved.
Great work Dale - looking forward to seeing this one completed.
Yes he brought us some great memories in both saloons and open wheelers. Unfortunately we are edging along that path and it is sad when you hear of another really good person whose life has come...
Leave it the way it is Paul - it looks superb. If it gets any more glossy we wouldn't be able to see the car for reflections but then again you might well be able to dazzle the opposition at race...
Looking forward to some coloured photos when we get to Manfield mate.
