Got to love that smile of Rons,even right at the end of his Glen Murray days he would often call in for a cuppa ,if anything funny was said from either of us ,you always got that smile ,how come you say he was deaf ,well I always believed Ron heard what he wanted to

Two and a half...
The first one was little more than a rebodied saloon, the second was the one in the picture, which was rebuilt with a new chassis and other mods after Don's Dunedin crash

The quality is great Steve ...and the prints from Barry Cash even better. I contacted Barry and he sent all of Douglas Walkers photo's, even the ones that were out of focus or not good enough for his web site..
