I think the Rat's team mate was Nigel Arkell, and I guess they were the same cars that Geoff Short and Barrie Thomlinson ran later on, before switching to the Lexus'/Altezzas. Mike John collected Telstars for a while, he may still have one. I recall travelling from Hastings to Manfeild to watch the Rat only too see him taken out in a startline crash in the first Touring Car race of the day and the car was too badly damaged to continue the day's racing. It was one of those reverse direction race meetings that they tried at Manfeild, but I don't think it was the day Murphy went bush.

A Corona/Carina with Castrol stripes had a big crash on the 'hill' at Pukekohe in late '99, I think the driver might have had a trip to hospital. That might have been the Brink car mentioned earlier.

I think Aaron Harris still has his BMW.
