    AH 3000 BT7 .. the Phil Mules - Bernie Huynen car

    ERC, Ray, do you know who was driving this day at Manfeild 1999 ?. Phil Mules owned the car in 1994 as seen at Hamilton the Telecom Motorfest. Full Face Helmets make it hard to recognise Drivers !!
    Bernie Huynen [ who passed away recently ] had it later and recently had put it up for sale, now painted Black.

    Definitely Philip Mules. Race 4, he finished 3rd with a lap time of 1:24.77, beaten by Richard McCarthy (Snr) Lotus 7, 1:24.94. Race won by Andrew Whittaker TVR Tuscan 1:19.15.

    The meeting was rained off on the Sunday and as my car was damaged by the transporter company - who somehow or other also managed to flatten the battery, a very expensive weekend and the last time I raced at Manfeild! Cost as much overall for the weekend as for the rest of the season.

    Many people love the Manfeild track, but I wasn't so keen - or maybe it just didn't suit my car? Photographic opportunities also very limited for the amateur.

    From the scanner.

    A single stray colour slide, Prescott Hillclimb 1970. To the far right of the picture, clutching his cine camera, is Alec Rivers-Fletcher, long time PR man for the BRM organisation - and next door neighbour to comedian Norman Wisdom.

    Found this strip of 4 negatives as an 'orphan' as I haven't found the rest of the film - yet. I originally thought it was 1984 December 16th Pukekohe, but the Marina has the orange tinted windows yet in my earlier pic, it didn't! So, date to be researched... Possibly February 2nd 1985.

    A bit random I know but...When the 2 brms sat in the Symonds Street showroom 1965-66 ? as a young guy I was asked to pick up the aforementioned Alec Rivers-Fletcher, and take him to another branch...I asked him about Chris Amon and his reply was no way would he trust him an F1 car! way too young and inexperienced.

    2017. On our recent Baltic's cruise, day 1 in Ghent, we bumped into these two! We enjoyed the best Belgian waffle ever, topped with warmed cherries and cream. Obviously, since selling the Ferrari, John had forgotten how to fasten his helmet so needed the assistance of Glenys, before his first run in the ex Ivan Selak Cortina GT.

    TACCOC's Formula Junior Single seaters. Always seen as scaled down F1 cars of the day over the transition between front engined to rear engined. A proliferation of makes and shapes still makes it a real favourite of mine.

    Chelsea Hillclimb today and even my wife takes an occasional pic...

    New owner of the Morris 8 grinning from ear to ear. No idea of his name, but wearing a large 'Hyundai' logo on his overalls!

    PS: Bumped into GeeBeeNZ today and apparently the new owner's name is Devon and he works for Hyundai. I missed the Bugatti recreation down in the paddock, as we didn't walk that far. If I'd been on my own, I might have done, but I can't afford for her to get over tired.

    Hopefully, this won't be the final 'Chelsea Walsh', but the Chelsea works are doing a development, with a reintroduction of the plant tours and a new café. At this stage, we are not sure if the café will be a 7 day a week enterprise or not.

    First time I have seen this particular car. I asked another competitor what it was called and he claimed it was a 'Badger Special' with obvious U2 origins. Can anyone confirm that? A confession here. I had to Photoshop Diane out of the background as the bright orange marshal vest was a distraction! Well I would have done, but I can't get to grips with Photoshop at all, so used Arcsoft, the software that came with the Canon Scanner.

    Back to TACCOC's October meeting

    David Thompson (Snr) - historic Ford Escort is the genuine article and if anyone has ever taken a good look inside, it has a fair bit of evidence of that history in the shell.

    Being a former Mallock owner I am very interested in the Badger special which has an uncanny resemblance to a Mk 6 Mallock.I recall a similar car in the NZ Sports Car club in the early years. Does anyone have any history on it.

    More like it. Spectacular up to a point, but the clouds of acrid smoke drifting across the National track on a regular basis from several drifters made it a very unpleasant place to be, especially for the flag marshals who had no option but to stick it out for the day.

    Ray,
    As I am not part of the NZ scene I would like to ask who is the gentleman on the left with the cane looking down ? (Post # 1855 )
    I do recognize Bruce T. who left me to go lunch with the rich and famous at Laguna Seca and the other is a man I almost met at Laguna Seca, Dale Mathers.

    The gentleman on the left is AMCO, Gerald Fogg, Angus Fogg's dad.

    In the far right corner of the garage is Racing Ray Williams and it looks like Paul Madeley's Porsche 944 Turbo, prior to its maiden track run, on the left.

    No bones Bruce, you had your steak and BBQ chicken lunch with dessert and I found an old packet of sunflower seeds at the bottom of my back pack so it was all good mate. Perhaps we can do it again next August.
    Cheers,

    plus thanks Ray for the identification of Mr. Fogg.
