Ha ha, I didn't think that was your car. Everyone here knows you have too much respect for a classic to do that! Although I am glad there are other people who are not so fussed to show us what can be done with some creative thinking

is that a great big turbo ?
Yes Phil, it is rather large , we would be talking a lot of horsepower here ,probably close to Seanus's FX Special :o :o :o or maybe even the FX Sports !!!!

Great track, particularly the blind left hander at the top of the hill. Flick it in when you see the witches hat and pray you dont hit the curb up there!

And for some unknown reason i think i liked the F1 styled humpy the best

thanks Phil for the pics, good broad view of the day and really pleased you enjoyed the group of cars, I never tire of seeing these machines.

I noticed the cameos in Jeff's car, if I got it right you both look the part!   Ready to hit the track, you just can't buy KOOL  8)

Great to hear Denis and yourself caught up, it was going to be a highlight for me, ahhh next time.

It was really good to catch up with Phil and his wife and add a physical presence to the mental picture. The setting was great too Baskerville would have to be one of the best tracks in Australia for spectators, thankyou Bruce for being the inspirstion to come here. The variety of grey motor cars was exceptional !! Did you notice the pics of the Repco x flow head Bruce? I haveyet to find the Waggot ohc conversion.
Full marks to Phil too for someone without an I T background to do what he does for our Thursday server.

I now have a pictorial meeting with you both, I must say Phil you certainly look relaxed behind the wheel, and adapted "the look" with an elbow out the window. Denis, nice to thank me, very pleased that you enjoyed the trip after all my spruiking, and then unable to attend, I felt a little guilty on that level along with disappointment, but there will be an event that we all can make it.
The yellow one "Simpson" on the back window was sitting in our drive for a couple of nights, they worked to the last second to get that complete stock to racer project done in time. Ian is in the same situation as myself, and his son in law Mike was running it for him.  I think he will get a great kick out of, as he raced FJ in TAS for many years.
Man those cross flow high performance are the "ant's pants", (and Waggot :) ), there may be a Waggott in one of the "specials".
They both form the Holy Grail of Grey Motor :hotting up".   Just revisited the album, you captured the event well.  Great track for spectating, every one has always said, you can see the complete track from some of the vantage points, which is rare.
Cheers, Bruce

Phil and I have a new found respect for you Bruce after sitting in Geoff's car we could not believe how restricted the view was, the windscreen seems tiny, steering wheel huge and there is a large amount of car around you, must take some getting used to. Do not feel bad about not making it Ii have still really enjoyed the visit and am returning to Baskerville tomorrow to track down the Waggot conversion.
