my eyecrometer is pretty good, but I cannot tell a positioning difference of 15mm by looking at a video! Any other "clues" I can look for? Conrad |

I'm not sure that this is the right place, but I'm sure a fair few people here will enjoy this week's V8Xtra which focuses on a whole range of 'older' cars (eg. Tru Blue falcon etc.):

I think it will be interesting to see how the Toyota Carina of Malcolm Rea goes against the larger engined small cars too.

Basically,a good car was butchered.I didn't hang around long after this nonsense,but was at Amaroo,for some other reason,and saw the car driven there and remember it being all over the road.An accident waiting to happen.I didn't realise it did happen until I saw the picture here. I still have all the pictures of this mechanical butchery,including a few with the John Sands paintwork under the window rubbers.I was going to send some pics into AMC magazine after they ran the story on Bob Morris and how he put the car in the top ten shootout.But it seems the history has already been revealed in this forum.

The Bathurst 88 LHD car was built locally... a spare.. before the Wolf cars arrived. The locally built Longhurst Sierras used to have their air jack point in the centre of the front grille, the Wolf ones were offset to the side, like the one in the ad.. |

Those Wolf cars were a great story
Ian Paxton had them imported (one of them was the car Robbie Francevic raced at Winton wasn't it?), but due to their 'irregularities' they stayed locked away in Sydney all year. Time and again Peter Brock throughout '88 was linked to a Bathurst entry in this car, and Paxton actually did enter the car for Warwick Rooklyn and ....Mike Quinn(?) Did i read right that when the Bathurst winner was sold to Ken Matthews for 1989, it arrived with the illegal Wolf bits installed? Quote:

I was thinking of putting a couple of pictures of the gas-axed car,but to be honest I wouldn't know how to do it.They are old school film pictures.Is there an easy way to do it? I don't have scanners,or printers or any other new technology,sorry.But I think the local library has that stuff.Any help appreciated as I have a lot of other pictures that somone might be interested in.Full tub-up rebuild of the ex-goss Matich,frame up build of the Listech BF86 formula fords,mondials,engines on the Seton,Hennen and Froud dyno etc. Just random bits of history.Facinating to some,boring to others,I guess. Anyhow,and help on transfering these to digital technology would be appreciated. Thanks. Last edited by BoMidge; 13 Sep 2011 at 09:16. Reason: spelling |

Hi Bomidge, you could take the photos to a Camera house or similar and for a small fee they will high quality scan your pics and put them on a disc for you, you'd then need to load them into your computer and upload them onto photobucket or image shack, then you can copy and paste the link into a post on here

Group A Commodore Freedoms.
Does anyone have any information about the freedoms given to the VL Commodores during 1991 and 1992 ATCC.
Specifically regarding the rear guards and body width. Any CAMS bulletins or paperwork ect would be much appreciated. During this period many cars ran with the wider 11inch wheels with 12inch tyres as per the new rules for 1990. |
