Colin Waite had both cars along at Rod Millens Birthday skid and Alan had his Brabham there as well. The cars are just beautiful. It was great to see and listen to these cars.

The Corolla in post # 48 look like Alan Drinkrow with the Kaipara sponsorship. He has a great collection of cars that I was privileged to see some years ago.

I forgot what a monster Peter Meadows' Corvette was. It was black at one stage too from memory. Just kind of vanished in the late '80s.

Jim Short should be able to chime in about his Porsche as soon as he gets his registration done.

Breadvan Ferrari - perhaps this car inspired the Anglia boys to extend the rear roof

I ran into John Morton last night (drove one of the BMW 635s photographed here) and he's very keen to have a look at the forum - he doesn't have any of the images so I told him he better get along here.
