| Shame the Divans Road car dump was closed up a year or two back, R2. A wealth of spares and some good steel for panel repairs and the like. A mate rescued a early 50's Dodge, a Kingsway?, out of there one time. Restored it. Good old car. |

Its a huge weekend down here R2. Events all over the show. I even thought about bustin out the KX500 to do the gravel hill climb. But the rear tyre is shot and I cant afford another at this stage.
Some of the guys you mentioned are still here and will most likely be there. Some have gone to the big race track in the clouds, sorry to say. Mitch Parks died a few years back and Neil McGregor, who worked for mitch at the boat shop also died a year or so later. Couple of top guys. Mates of the Old Mans. Town & County Club boys. |
