Re: New guy from Down Under...... (Brutus)
Sorry cant remember but it is on the front cover.... it had side pipes that came out of the vents behind the front wheels. I think it was a Sydney car at that time (not sure) but it was originally from S.A.
It also had wire spoke wheels (which I still have spare) ... you can just see it from one of the recent editions that had a poster of lots of the old covers.
I dont have the poster with me but I think its on a cover in the top left hand corner...... hope you can find it....
Ive been thinking about sending in some photo's to the mag for awhile now....

Thanks Mark.... nice red on your vette
Agreed Big Blocks rule.... converting to right hand drive sucks.... but as a corvette owner you understand that when it comes to driving your machine all the time and effort is worth it.
I had a girl try and tell me that I only drive a Corvette to get noticed and all this other crap.
I drive a Corvette and a big block becasue like most corvette owners I love to drive, and no other car performs like a Corvette. My fuel bill is really my entertainment bill for the day..... and for the buzz even a Bigblock sized fuel bill is cheap.
