Hi Alex,
Whattya mean "it hasn't changed" I got new air cleaners on it since that pic !!! LOL....
That was another one parked with me then,,a silver and black V8 named "Gunnas dunnit" owned by Lindsay Atkinson. Another one that I have never heard of since,I used his car and mine at my wedding as well!!
Ken,Norm,
Wow,haven't seen John Peterson in years either,he and I go back a loooooong way as well,his car was a super tough MK 3 Zephyr,we had some great burnout comps and things like that back in the 70's and early 80's
AL.

Well, Alan's last reply about burnouts reminded me of these pics I took at the "Nats 88",   I was standing on the roof of my FC with 3 others when I took these pics.  Regards Alex |

Hey Norm.
Keep them pics coming. If I can add anything to your posts, I will dig 'em out. I took a lot of pics during the 80' and 90's, so if it was around, I probably got a pic of it.
Is anyone else interested in these pics?
Regards
Alex

Hi all
I can assure you that Alans car still attracted a lot of attention at this years Show and Shine, even with a few minor paint blemishes it was still one hell of a machine. It looked nearly as good as it did 25 years ago when it won our first show and at that show it was accompanied by Victor Reilly's FC and John Petersons Zephyr as well as some other very nice machinery. The 4 FC's on displayed got a lot of comments from the public, even had one group of kids about 16 year age group say that the four Chevvies were nice...oh well two of them had Chev engines I suppose...
It's good to see that you are becoming interested in the FC again Alan, it still looked good when it was here for the show n shine and it still smokes those back bags up pretty well, I had a good veiw from my position behind you. When I eventually get my film of the show developed hopefully I will have a good pic of the four FC's in line at the show, I should warn you however that one other thing that hasn't changed in 25 years is my photography skills (or lack of)
Cheers
Jock

Alan, Gunnas Dunnit appeared last year at one of our club events, condition is going down hill but still looks fair. It is still surviving though.
Alex your photo collection is amazing, Love the burnout photos. Magnificent!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Norm, That must be a later pic of Victors car. When we went to Mt Gambier in 1978 he had the Crower fuel injection on the engine.,I think he got sick of trying to keep it running at anything less than flatout ! and put the manifold and carbies on it... Cheers AL. |
