One of these French Hell Driver LHD LJs was driven around Bathurst during the pre-race entertainment in 1972 or 73. He drove on 2 wheels for most of the track but fell back onto 4 wheels on several occasions.

In 1962 the Canadian Hell Drivers were on a world tour and a performance at the Wagga Showground was part of that tour. While in Australia the team used Holden cars for all their shows so they paid a visit to local dealer Wagga Motors, at that time located at 126 Fitzmaurice St, opposite the Duke of Kent Hotel.

I really, really needs to get me one of those cannons for the FB

327 Chev EK wagon, original EK ute for Number 1 Daughter, an FB sedan meth monster project and a BB/MD grey motored FED.
Recent posting on the HAMB of the Joie Chitwood show reminded me of this thread. 56 Chevs instead of EKs. I reckon the Canadian Hell Driver's cannon was cooler
