That red car must have twin SUs or something under that big Power Bulge! Sounds like it went better than it handled. Great picture, but you have a cool "Lawn Bowls" look about you!

In the picture of me and Pete painting the FB (Or just leaning all over it!) I have a haircut that makes me look like "Prince Valiant" or one of those silly knights of the round table or something. My parents had had it with me and motor cars by this time so I had all of mine over at Peters parents place in Warrimoo. This FB was the first old Holden that any of us had that was REGISTERED and could be driven on the road. It seemed very slow at first, but it just had a broken accelerator pedal. When Pete and I brought it home on P Plates from Castle Hill ( Even though the last quarter of the trip was on a tow truck!) It was just the coolest car.
