Hi Guys,
I met Bill brown as he had a factory that made Potato Chips. I was driving a 13ton Acco Truck in those days and went to his Factory in Western Sydney to pick 4 tons of Potato's.

He came down to tell me the truck will be loaded in 15 minutes. I looked at him and said " arnt you Bill Brown the racing car driver"? He said " thats me" and he took me up to his office which had pictures of his old car's all over the place and his winning cups.

We had a good chat to each other and was really a nice down to earth bloke who loved his racing.

RIP Bill Brown say Hi to Brocky for us mate.
