The Rev and I both have signed copies of his memoires.

"the first thing I realised when I got to Britain was that they couldn't lay a slab of concrete, nor could they machine anything with any degree of accuracy"

Ha, classic. It was a great program, some seriously gutsy guys involved in some of that stuff, interesting too the way that so few people (Brabham, Cooper, Taurenac, McClaren) could have such a lasting impact on the sport.

How did Repco go from a Ferrari beating cutting edge race provider to a bunch of wanna be Maccas stores who keep you waiting for an hour while they find the product code for the fuel pump gasket you just bought, and then print you an A2 receipt?
