Not VMX..... sorry......
« on: October 14, 2013, 06:10:35 pm »
Just came across a few old pics I took at Phillip Island in '89 and '90.
Sorry the colour is a bit wayward, but I thought someone might be interested.

Very kind of you to say, fellas. Thanks.
I don't consider then great images but still really good memories of that time.

As for you Mr. Crocket...........  >:(
You're not helping! I'd love to come up for the Nats, but don't think I can spare the time or the money.    :'(

Here's a few more FWIW.
Funny side note is that the bloke standing behind Greg Hansford was to become my mechanic at 3 of the Safaris we did. It was a few years later that we actually met.  :D
