Graham, these old programmes are amazing! We had a dedicated thread somewhere on here for this stuff, I should try and find it so these can be included. They make great reading!

This is Waimate 66.
I think Lin had trouble with the blocks on the pedals. Went a lot better in the Mini.
The Ted Thompson Mini twin cam was an amazing piece of work - grafting the Ford block onto the Mini bottom end. Ted was totally deaf, wasn't he?Originally Posted by John McKechnie
The Mullins' Cortina with the 2 litre Coventry Climax engine seemed like a good idea, but never seemed to perform as well as the 1600 Fords. Those programs bring back memories...I had a lot of them from Puke, 63-66, but an evil little nephew burned the contents of the boxes they were stored in, complete with all my Motormans, Road and Tracks, sound recordings, a lot of pictures, etc, when he wanted the tea chests to grow dope plants in in his bedroom! And he did this 3 weeks before I turned up at my sister's place to pick them all up!! Bastard!

Wow, these photos are just superb! Thanks for posting them. What is the green car #8 in post 90?
Daimler Special-SP250 V8 motor, now owned by Paul Coory-Dunedin
Tell us more about it!
I have a photo somewhere with hood removed I think , but thats about all I know for now. Maybe someone has more pics taken in pits during meeting, I was not there, got busy checking out a proper mustang that weekend.[ Better than all those HMC clones]
Thanks for the info on the Daimler Special Jac. Is it a newly built car for VCC? Or does it have history?
More photos of the 1959 Daimler Special (Coory) I took over the weekend at Speedfest - Teretonga 2013
This pic was taken shortly after car was purchased, looks better for the de-chrome & loss of whitewalls
Wow, thats really cool! Who built it Jac?
Also, what was the Mustang you were playing with? Did Steve Ross bring out the PDL I?
Paul did tell me but I cant remember, will be talking with him sometime in next few weeks, just have to remember to ask for more info!! Mustang in question has much more history than PDL! Owner was kind enough to allow us to crawl all over it taking pics & notes for one of the items on my tank list...used to be a bucket list, but bucket got too small... BTW, 'Dove of Peace' did a fly by @ Teretonga during the Sunday lunch break, one lucky SFOS driver getting a ride in the back seat at the time, had a brief chat with him prior to takeoff, think he had a few more butterflies than his race car ever generated
