I Remember that car very well , i was wondering what happened to it ?
a classic story is of bruce garland coming up to me & saying how did you beat my time on that last run up amaroo hillclimb ?? Well bruce , if you hold 1st gear all the way thru the 1st hairpin & just let it keep reving that will help -- oh ok kingy!!!
Next run --- KA BOOOMMM , bruce came back & said *%#@*^
OH i forgot to tell you bruce (the goose) , i have a 4.44 diff & you have a 5.11 he he he
PS
i remember when dallas owned that car & also when frank barker bought it with great results in his 1st few rallies , frank also won a search for a star program @ oran park just prior to buying that car !
i also remember bruces 1st few rallies in it too . it was mostly made from bits lying around the workshop floor wink wink nudge nudge !!
in those days the goose had loads of unrefined natural talent & a flamboyant crowd pleaser !!
