The Roaring Season

Thank you gentlemen. In the process of getting in touch with Rod Millen, he may be out of the country. Will give it a day or two to see if any other interest is shown then may explore your Plan B. Some better photos and a dedicated thread may help. Last resort is Trade Me.

That is exactly the sort of place it belongs. We will contact him and see if he's interested. Thank you for that suggestion.

Rather than start a new thread I will post this here since it already includes some history of the Fire Boss which is now offered for sale. I am not the owner but if anyone is interested in purchasing the Fire Boss please pm me and I can pass on details to the owner for contact. It is hoped that ...

To follow up. Yesterday I added an image to my earlier post showing the Phishing Warning. This morning I awoke to find an invoice from iTunes telling me I'd purchased 3x Ed Sheeran albums for $24.99. It also had a link stating if this was a transaction that was not permitted to click here. I have ...

I'm not a frequent visitor anymore to RS but in the last week I have been getting a warning telling me that the RS Site is subject to "Phishing" and I am given the option to ignore and proceed to the site or cancel and not proceed. I use a Mac at home where I get the message. I use Windows 10 at ...

More wipes?

She is also the reason I did not return to "The Land of the Long White Cloud " as I had originally planned.

Looking like half of a Swedish Pop Group there. I don't think I would have come back either.

Best wishes Ken.

Hello Ken That is an informative article but is somewhat misleading in that it talks about one car when actually it is about two. The Arden British Championship winning engine was sold to Barry Phillips out of the UK. At the same time the Carneys bought the car with a new engine. Arden engine went ...

This is only a reference guide for Dunlop Tread patterns of the day. I know that the 65 and 81 patterns were available for the 10" but outside of that I'm guessing.

By the way.......going back to the Amco Mini tyres. I am not sure what these are. A CR65 has a much narrower tread than this.....could they be a slick with some radial grooves in them ?? I will ask Rod when I next see him.[/QUOTE]

[quote="John McKechnie"]Just wondering if any one out there would happen to have one of the Team Cambridge decals from this period , they were stick on and were available at the tracks. I want to confirm the colours. I can be of some help. I have a decal with no fading though whether this would be ...

[quote="Rod Grimwood"]Looks like A very young Steve Millen standing with plate waiting for a sausage.

I can tell you it's Don Davie doing the cooking.

Number one on the list of equipment was to be the Fire Tender. Originally this was mounted on a trailer along with buckets containing blankets soaked in a special solution to wrap around drivers in the event they suffered burns. This was towed around New Zealand to all meetings with the 1955 Ford ...

On the Cambridge Monaro thread a question was asked about the Ranch Wagon Fire Tender rather than divert that thread I thought it best to start a new one with what litlle I know about some of that history. My apologies if I get any facts or names wrong or not included. The Doghouse Club was ...

MolySlip Drivers a.jpg Thanks to everyone who has fed into this thread. Another team from the past- Molyslip (early / mid-60s?) I'm thinking Rod Coppins in the Zephyr and Jack Nazer in Anglia. Who can add some detail on cars and drivers under the Molyslip banner? Courtesy of the late great Jack ...

[quote="Shoreboy57"] Can someone confirm which seasons the Lexington, Cambridge and Winfield teams ran? Were they just a season each? I was too young to smoke at the time, so of course they weren't targeting me. I'm thinking Cambridge was 69/70 and Winfield the season later? Lexington was the year ...

This should help. I hear they've done alot out there and it's looking good. Relatively speaking.

[quote="David McKinney"]...and engine Quite right. Two different drivers, 3 very different engines and at least 3 Championships. Who knows how many race wins. I wonder how many other cars managed to dominate like that regardless of engine or driver over multiple seasons. Might make for an ...

[quote="Steve Holmes"]Ahh, yes, thanks, I was getting mixed up with the Cambridge Cooper S of Phillips from the following season.

Same car just different paint and steerer.
