Hi Nigel, is there any chance I could grab a couple of these shots in hi-res? Specifically of the #19 Ford Falcon. Cheers, John.Originally Posted by nigel watts

I have been going back through some of your earlier postings Nigel, a very enjoyable pastime. I have recently bought the ex Mike Westall MK 2 Jaguar and I note that in post #204 the first image shows Mikes car transporter CMS Racing in the background and
a group of guys around the MK1 Jag, one of the guys sitting on the guard looks very much like Mike. Also in post #190 two photos
from Baypark show two MK 2s and a Mini. Do you or anyone else know who the drivers? Any info on the MK 2 would be much appreciated. I have entered the Jag in the Ice Breaker meeting, so if you are there would be great to catch up.
The Prince-Hourigan XJS now racing in classic racing. Recently restored by Angus Fogg and owned by Gary Johnstone in Christchurch. Gary had the car at Highlands Park in February this year where it suffered an 'engine malfunction' !!!!! The engine had not been touched during the restoration as it appeared to be ok. However it clearly wasnt as good as everyone thought, so is now being completely rebuilt and reassembled in the AFR workshop. Striping the engine after so many years, proved to be a character building exercise, with studs frozen in the heads and block.......I think the big hammer came out a few times, accompanied by numerous cans of Lion Red.......not for the studs but for the operator. Before the engine trouble, Angus had driven it at a number of Classic meetings, and described the handling as challenging ! It was also up to its old tricks of overheating, something that hopefully will be addressed during the rebuild. I have to say it has a gorgeous sound........
