Super Cool 8).  Looks like he's got his hands full  ;D
Looking for YZ250C parts NOS if possible

The only triple jumps he would have been doing are the hop, skip & jump.

I suspect he had a dnf in an earlier heat. How many midfield Nevilles blocking the track with no apparent use of their mirrors, as the thundering aircraft carrier approaches from behind at great pace ?
Excellent drive job, and wonderful noise... ;D

I think someone posted this up recently but I still enjoyed watching it again.
Heaps of great old cars and I think I even saw a Humber Vogue in amongst it, my very first car.

Lozza Did you notice how tall the gearing was .... needed about 3000rpm to get it off the line,  also take note of temp guage ;)

Various Lotus equipped Escorts did there share of winning ..... I liked that era with Mini Coopers and Ford Galaxies fighting it out. But for me Bathurst is about the Aussie muscle cars, Toranas, Commodores, Chargers and the occasional Ford.
