Maybe more to point how did he get in it.
Where theres a will, theres a way.................
Test day for the Willis team with nice new car that Lindsey and Brett have built from parts bought back from the trip to race in Trans Am in States and Ralph Mossman and his RX7/8
Mr Osborne turns up, now this is Taupo which is in the middle of the North Island and he resides in Christchurch which is in the middle of the South Island, and at the moment we have sorry arse people out there worried about being spied on.
Any way, this is not long after Oz has had his accident at Puke and won't drive a race car again. Well one invitation from Mr Willis and the photos tell the story.
Turns up and has a look
Don't ask him twice, look at the smile as he powers into the seat, the foot is still sore but the hip appears to be good. Lindsey Willis and a youthful Ralph watch on.
Then once in "now what do I do in this thing" then on comes that familiar Oz race face.
In and ready for a re-initiation to a race car.
Brett went down South with this car and won the OSCA championship. Car is still there apparently.
Yes John that's the car and I have a great story about it written by Ralph that he sent to John Telford after he bought it with the history of car, parts, and build etc. I will try and get loaded as think it will be good read.
