Aussie Bill what part of Australia are you from? I spent 7 or 8 months down there in 1969/70. A friend and I toured around the East coast from Noosa Heads down to Melbourne in a 1961 Vauxhall Victor. Something in the steering broke loose near Bendigo. We found a guy with a repair shop out in the boonies. I think it was near the black stump. He had the car for a day and the bill was $21. I ended up working at Monash University for a few months. I knew this girl in Springvale (near Melbourne) who had some friends who were into cars and those ocean going race boats. In March 1970 we all went to a car race outside of Melbourne and saw the legendary Stormin Norman Beechy and his bright yellow Holden Monaro GT. He was up against a former Canadian, named Allan Moffat. He had a 68 Mustang Boss 302. I think it was sponsored by Coca Cola. At that race I found out you can win a race if you have better brakes. The Mustang would jump ahead of the Holden at the corners because Moffat could wait longer before he hit the binders. I remember it like it was yesterday.
