That brings back a couple of memories, I was part of Dave Slater's team supporting the PM at the time. It took him a while to get going with the whole thing, one of the more slightly disturbing features of his driving (at Puke) was braking at the end of the back straight (well near the end...) and then immediately chucking it into 3rd gear. Needless to say engine life wasn't all it could have been.

Great Bloke, and fun to be around. Even the Bodyguards enjoyed the meetings!
