It certainly is - George had it on show as it is not completed yet. Instead of 'Sidchrome' down the sides and across the back it now has 'Shewiery'.

For me these photos show the essence of what HMC is all about. The Sunday morning race was held on a damp track and Angus Fogg in the 'Collingwood' Mini was leading the race for about the first five laps. He was having a marvellous tussle with Dale (staged) and the crowd where I was standing were grinning from ear to ear and rushing to the fence to watch them come across the start/finish line.
As the track dried, the V8's got more grip and started to reel them both in, but the sight brought back memories of when Bruce McLaren brought the 1275 Mini to NZ in the 60's and raced it against the 3.8 Jaguars and had the crowd applauding. Of all the HMC races over the first weekend I don't think Angus finished outside the top 5 in any race. A giant killing efford.
The crowd watching the racing was the highest numbers I saw matched only by the F5000 cars.
I think the look of enjoyment on both of their faces says it all.

TonyG- yes it is THE car.George gave up a weekend of action to kindly bring the car as a display.
Full marks here to him for letting the fans have a close up.
Such a good guy ,and he had no fences around it.
Fantastic weekend, just fantastic. Only sorry I can't make it back next week. If you go to the start of this thread Dale references "not another class". It surely isn't. What a fantastic show both on and off track.
Here are a few of my shots, I need better camera gear but further coverage will be in the next issue of NZ Hot Rod Magazine. The Historic Muscle Cars were the most organized, professional appearing and informative gathering of cars. They certainly put on an excellent show off and on the track
Some more.......
And some more.....
Pictures worth a thousand words...
Excellent photos Greg, I`d love to get a copy of the one of my Camaro #41 and Colin Warringtons #51.

Yes, it's looking good! I understand the Sheweiry signwriting is because a certain tool company, who I will not name, won't allow their name on the side of the car......I shall in future use less grander spanners :-)
Thank goodness the anti-smoking crew weren't there to complain about B&H, Bastos Gold Leaf and JPS
