Who What and Where?

[markec]

I have coloured pics of this car in NZ, from probably the 70's running the #85

[Oldfart]

Tarawera ?

It is, and was a bit of a give away given the Minimax is in the background having already started his run, especially given the ones on the 'max before.
I also have some stories from there, should be in Yards etc.

[bob homewood]

No I never take it for granted with photos , I know of at least three seperate old hillclimb venues out in the hills around here and to be honest sometimes its real hard to tell them apart with some photo shots even for me and I have lived here on and off for years

[jamie]

Yes BOB Bakers had an old Ford flat head v8 wrecker and I recon that,s it Jamie

[bob homewood]

Talking of Baker Bros ,Jamie all we need now are some photos of that standing quarter they had on Old Taupo Rod,down by their workshop ,could you ever imagine that happening today

[jamie]

No Bob we all would be locked up .I have some photos of that sprint in the Cooper Jag I will see if I can find them Jamie

[Oldfart]

And what about the one down Rawhiti Rd in suburban Matamata?

[jamie]

No Old Fart. but did Thames Vally at Kerypahy[bad spelling] just down from the old wooden pub it grate fun and the old A7 drove there and back, was colcked at 98 mph Jamie ps not on the way home?

[Rod Grimwood]

OK Try this one,
AMCO no assistance ah.

[AMCO72]

Gotcha Rod.......but I was just looking at the car and thinking.....headlamps??? We are all required to have working head and tail lamps now in case of inclement conditions. What happens to this machine? Probably could fit a couple of spots in the grill.

[AMCO72]

I think you have got them beat Rod!!!

[Jac Mac]

OK Try this one,
AMCO no assistance ah.

[color="#0000FF"]Looks like its taken at Teretonga, SFOS meet, hard to make out who the driver is as the screen is a bit Foggy, driver must have been sweating a bit, apparently the original driver always emerged from the car with a bad case of hayfever, Donn Anderson of Motorman experienced the same sensation after he tested the 'Original' car at its Teretonga appearance way back in the 1960's. I think the car is now owned by a guy from Wanganui, or should that be Whanganui![/color]

[Rod Grimwood]

Jac Mac, Correct track, correct meet, and not a bad descripition of the windscreen. Is that were it went too

[Jac Mac]

[color="#0000FF"]Apparently yes, A mate of mine was up north for the U21 Speedway meeting @ Rosebank & happened to be filling up at the same service station as the new owner was heading home with his purchase.[/color]

[CUSTAXIE50]

so the custaxie has come down this way-mmm-not to far to go have a look at it.do you know who the new owner is.

[Jac Mac]

[color="#0000FF"]Sorry, was being towed with a Dodge Ram if thats any help, new owner has raced before & said it might appear occasionally, but thats all he got from him.[/color]

[CUSTAXIE50]

thanks for that,will look into this to see who has it.--could it be robert bartley.

[Jac Mac]

[color="#0000FF"]I ran Roberts name past him, along with a few others that I remember from that area, did not ring any bells with him... [/color]

[Rod Grimwood]

There are a few from down that way. When you mentioned Ram, Taylor ran through mind but think he is in New Plymouth

[CUSTAXIE50]

did he say what cars he ran.
