Et tu
Yes I met an interesting bloke ......oddity maybe .Drove all the way from Brisbane in his race car down the Newell( one of my favorite drives) with classical music full blast on the stereo!!! 
Great to meet you too Don 
I met Brian de Courcy who thought my description of his "Candy-Belle Express" funnier than ANYBODY else , he's an absolute classic and a top trouper , Graham Robinson who built our front axle and is one of Lynchie's crew , smoothie. Tiny , close up ...Hey Mr Postman....!!!tried hard but didn't find anyone I didn't like.
Got home on the available tyres but had to do another harmonic balancer( friggen hell that's a whole 'nother story...F*** Pt Wakefield wreckers!) , boiled the new battery
, didn't find wallet.....but W.F.cares ,I had a ball , yet again.
Haven't paid my speeding fine yet
Vespa : no time slips.

and in the DLRA camp area , kids standing on the roof of their dads 4wd trying to get mobile phone reception . Then they had rap music blasting out of said 4wd stereo for way too long , flattened the battery didnt they .
Oh yeah and in the pits , one datsun wagon going rev rev rev for long time , followed by silence and the biggest cloud of blue smoke i ever seen in the pits of any motor sport event i ever been too in my life . This was followed much much cheering from the Silverton pub boys and the rest of those in the pits .
ah dont ya love it !!!!!!!!

poor lil datsun, no one likes to see a fellow revhead hurt an engine, but,,oh , maaa ears,,the cheers were an automatic reaction.
I did notice that the following day , after some hasty repairs, the said datsun was much more ear friendly though, ha ha ha
