Just wondering if anyone knows where my 1971 Titan mk6 ended up.
Or does anyone have photo's of it.

While searching for the Baird Titan, could you have a look for the ex Oxton, Walker Elfin 600 as well - that seems to have vanished too
Hi Mate. I'm not sure where his twin cam went. Love to find it. Hope you are well mate.

I was standing looking at it and he talked to me of it. Nice guy, Stan , I thought, taking time out to talk to the fans.

Hi Grant - I 'race' against Bruce - lovely bloke and very much the man who has been hugely responsible for the numbers in our old fart championship.
We've looked for Oxo's old car for a while - I hadn't realised it was missing until David raised it one day...
Hi Craig,
Do you recall me upsetting Stan at at your first Puke meeting when I told him your Titan was a Valour? Lousy bastard! and I've never changed. The car is about 3 mtrs from my office. Now fitted with a modified Datsun 180B and clothed with sportscar bodywork. I may actually have video footage of that meeting. Drop me a line and I'll have a look.
Cheers,
Russ
ps Happy to deal on your last drive.....money my way of course.
It was totally written off, Michael.
Dennis Martin?
Hi bairdo, welcome to trs.it's kind of an addiction this site, Paul here, commentator at levels, I've still got the bottle of bubbly you walked all the way up those stairs to give me a couple of years ago.hope all is well cobber and hope to see you at levels again soon. Paul
Hi Mate. You were not a pioneer when it comes to upsetting Stan.
Would love to see some photos of it. My email is cglbaird@bigpond.com.
Cheers,
Bairdo.
I am always in touch with Pete. Must say I miss the old summer series and catching up with you all.
Yep they are special times , hope they get repeated, amazing people from South Cant, [& Ruapuna] all seem like extended family , they treat people with open arms infact nothing has changed since I left Timaru....& moved to Tauranga , the minute we enter that town the fun starts... lol..the atmosphere is super cool ............

Bairdo, Mr Spragoo, will have the thermos waiting by the fireplace in case you want a cuppa
Hopefully I have uploaded a pic of the Tomas Merzera Reynard...
Now that I have gotten over the shock of successfully uploading a photo for the first time, I need to give credit for the pic. I sourced it on Wikimedia, author GTHO and the car belongs to Neil Richardson in Australia. I will soon post an article about how this car arrived in Oz, before my memory becomes totally redundant!
