Ah yeah, for some reason it all dawned on me today I have run into you before, when you lived at the gong.

Lardies???

Geez, when I found Gary I was astounded. He was plainly helpful, even in the early days when I was probing for prices and wasnt laying down a lot of cash....

Then, when I started putting down the cah and buying stupid amounts of parts, he has gotten even better. Free advice, thats actually helpful and a whole lot more....

I wish there was more I could do to support Revolution Racegear in Wollongong. Best place I have found for parts and information outa lot of shops

Good to see a car like this being used for its intended purpose..... and not just a "showroom special"...

Pity about those arches though.... they just dont look right.

its because the car is too high for them. I think they are the same ones they have on the miglia race cars... But then again, most of those cars have like 10mm bump travel

I like the widened steel rims. Anyone know what size they are?

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

guy only just finished it at the end of last year, took it to the supersprint at end of last year at oran park. if you look at my video clip of the event here http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5902 you can briefly see him in motion as he pulls up onto dummy grid.

and i think Frank Caldwell is coming to the MCCNSW enthusiasts meeting in may, so check out the coming events on their website

It was a pleasure ausmini. I'll miss all you misfits and reprobates

The car is owned by Col Wickens he found & bought the car from a shed in Orange & fully restored it to better than as new condition, including having to remake most of the fiberglass roof & rear quater panels, if you ever get to see the car in the flesh bibs may be required to catch your dribble.

Hay, it's not about the car, it's not about the venue, it's about the people that come here. Peter Dwyer, Mayor of Hay NSW.

So is this the same car I have pictures of from Penrith Panthers in 1999...
