I certainly enjoyed our time together remembering our Morrinsville days and also thanks for the ride as I don't think I could have walked that far. I tried to jog up the driveway to make out to the "rellies" that I had run all the way but they were watching as you let me off ! I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip. Thanks again.

Totally agree, Very nice shots Nigel!
Cheers

Ok everyone- yes I accept that I am obsessed with the real historic cars and details.
Ever since I saw this pic from April 1970 I knew in 2013-how the years have flown- that I would restore the Monaro and get it back on the track with Raydon , recreate the position, put the photo here and say " This is what we aim for, get those cars from back then and get them on the track together again".

The Roaring Season Thread helped this to happen, this is why it exists- to make the past live again.

Thank you Nigel for being there to photograph this moment and complete the circle

Sorry John but we could not replicate the “crowd”
