A truly awesome sight and sound...however, be aware that there is controversy surrounding this car. Surprisingly, the controversy is all about provenance and originality ;)

They're holding cameras with long lenses, they are located between the flag points prior to the Causeway, neither of your suggestions apply.

There was no noise monitoring in 1964 anyway.


So we have changed our tune have we Ray?

Re: Help wanted with previous car owner

I get your point Ray .

Did you mean Phil picked up an ex-Foley or Stewart round nose Mini?

I mainly replied to help people with a similar problem ...as the post was unanswered

Greg has probably solved this one by now...did you look at the date of his original post?

Re: Phillip Island Classic

Very good circuit for photography. Only real issue is how far you want to walk. Although you can drive all the way round the outside of the circuit. Only barriers are on the pit straight to hinder photography from the inside (including standing on the roof of the main pit garages). Stephen ...

Please, Ray...there is only so much of your vast knowledge that us mere mortals can handle...
