Finally got to watch restoring dreams from Thursday about lot 6 great show, gee Alan Moffat gets emotional when he talks about the past. You can see a tear in his eye when he discuss's it.would like to have seen a bit more of the interveiw Alan and with some of the other guys as Fred Gibson was in the credits too.
Neils old school looked bigger than Richmond Tech where I did my apprenticeship Any one know what trade school is it. |

Ah Richmond Tech circa 1963/4/5
thats where I learnt about a 170 Falcon motor with a supercharger making 200 hp a bit of a laugh these days what with a standard 4 litre making 300 hp I was into the Beatles Fender guitars and Volkswagens that was where i did my time as a mechanic app I think I learnt more at that school than I did on the job anyway good to have those memories thanks John |

Loved the episode about Lot 6. Moving stuff.
Just wish it hadn't closed. Supercar scare being the thing mostly responsible for its demise, I'd guess. |
