Australian Trivia Only

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Nope, in fact I don't think he ever raced.

OK, I see Google knows!!
Surprising how many members on here have previous experiences in the 'racing game'!
Went to a meeting yesterday & there I met a chap who spent many years chasing V8's across the country.
I won't mention his name as I think he's moved on now & wants privacy.

Maybe a club called Healeys ?
Time is passing too quickly so live life to the full with your spouse/partner while you still have she/he by your side.

Nope, nothing to do with Healey cars other than maybe watching them.

That's it Bruce. He got the idea when his young daughter was videoing him driving her to school and he came up with the tiny camera used in sports broadcasts, first used at Bathurst in 1979. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yINzBsvTX9A
