Here’s a few pics from Saturday at Sandown. I spent most of the day at the Roaring Forties stand and the cars on display attracted a great deal of interest. My engine was on display in an RF chassis that was assembled for the show to give people who don’t usually see what these things look like as a bare chassis.
It was a great privilege to have Sir Jack Brabham come over and check the car out. He was more than pleased with what we had on display and how the latest technology was put into these cars. John Bowe was driving Iain Pretty’s RF GT 40 race car that was brought down from Sydney for the event. This car is a mega dollar build up and is very quick. I’ll have more pics of it tomorrow. Enjoy the pics. Cheers

Some very nice machinery there, even an extra bonus of the trailered Alfa GTA.. No, am I blind? It's a GTV in the background of one of the shots of a pewter 'GT40'.
EDIT: Oh beaut, there's more comin. Fair bit of history gathering there, got any words to accompany? Last edited by Kamshaaft; 07-11-2009 at 11:02 PM. |

Some of those Toranas are a work of art. It still puts a chill down your spine when you see these things revved in anger. I’ll have more pics of Iain Pretty’s RF GT 40 today and hopefully get a few of it when John Bowe gets it out on the track. I’ll also try and get more pics of the cars that I missed yesterday. Quote:
Cheers

Sunday at Sandown.
John Bowe getting ready for the top speed comparison run in Iain Pretty’s RF GT 40. This car would most likely be the fastest one in the country and was unbelievable to watch when JB was driving it the way it was meant to be driven.        A few up close and personal shots while putting it in the truck.    Quote:
I’ve been out of the trade since 1990 and driving trucks since then, so it wasn’t me. Obviously diesel mechanics have good taste in cars. :hihi:

I was there aswell and saw that poor torana hit the wall. Was a decent hit aswell.
Really good day but damn was it hot, some great cars around, I even walked away half liking those VL Grp A's.
