G'day Mick, I thought it might be you. After a mere 32 years, I somehow seem to have forgotten that you were there that day! Silly me!

Yes, Bruce has the balaklava and I had the glasses.

Thanks, Mick. These photos were taken in 1982 with the car conforming to F3, 1300cc Ford. The data plate is visible on the body just below the headrest. It was a black/white trafellite plate marked "Brabham Amatol MkIV" No idea why 'Amatol' or 'MkIV'. Someone in Geelong apparently had the chassis, 4 uprights and the data plate back in the 90's, I think, but I have lost his details.

Now, now Ted...over exuberance is one thing, but arriving too hot and washing off speed is another! LOL

Last two slides I took Ted (I think my Tamron 85-210 zoom had been dropped, thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)

Trailered up, ready to go...

Forgot-to-pan, thought 200 ASA was fast enough, rear end shot of the car attacking the first corner at Silverdale...

Good Grief! That is probably the only existing photo of that heap of rubbish, a new 1984 Toyota Corona. Last time I will buy an Aussie built car! I have never forgiven Toyota for producing such a s**tbox!.
