Up on the central coast they do......
My work (Green's) owns the lowan's business which makes Cereals in Picton, so I spend 1-2 days per week down there lately. I'm sure the locals would know the factory in Bollard Plce.

Hey TUCK3r,

I've seen you on the motorway a few times but not when I've been driving Morris. There is quite a few minis between liverpool and Picton.
Gerg and I have been known to go on a spur of the moment run around the local Wollondilly area. When he gets back on the road we will have to do it again.
Hey Gerg, one of my mates said he thought it must have been my mini parked in Picton with a green clubman but didnt see us sitting having lunch. He has a couple of mini's himself. One of which is a genuine Cooper S and he uses it as a paddock basher........aaarrrgh !!!

I had some photos of Gerg and I taking a leisurely run (not) down Razor Back. I will see if I still have them saved somewhere.

I think it was on here or somewhere on the internet saying that old razorback was used as hill climb back in the day.

Yes it was on here. A lot of people don't know that there is Razorback and Old Razorback.
