Nice looking boat, what i would like to hear is what John Climo has to say on where the old car is today, there is a statement with his name on it in Classic Driver 2010 saying he knows does he.There is also that photo of a 1940 ford pick up does anyone know where this pick up may be today.

Hopefully he may join up with TRS. If not I have offered to pass on any info he may volunteer.

Thanks for that.

Now we may get to know where the old girl is in his own words.

Will try and get time over the next few days to look into this but I'm pretty sure John Climo raced a Mini 7 in the early days. I think he may have been domiciled in the Hutt Valley.

I have told him to have a look at this site as it is interesting, so lets wait and see. I am also going down that way soon so will go and have a cuppa tea.

John, no not the Fairlane Robbie raced, a completely different car/model and was a drag/hot rod machine. Very nice also maybe Tony has some photos.

As we know there is a story in Classic Driver Issue 31 April /May 2010 about the Custaxie,about someone having there say on where this car ended up the name John Climo came up,anyone know where he may be in nz.

Hi Guys -This Fairlane under discussion here, is this the 2 door Fairlane Robbie raced after the Custaxie?
The motor in that seemed to have overheating , valve and piston issues that the Custaxie never had- every race meeting that Motorman reported this at.
It was certainly not the reliable unit from the previous season.
