Mods feel free to remove, but IMO this deserves to be here. This is true auto porn, an old art quickly dying.
Another old time legend. Bill Tait. A Barwon Heads local and good family friend. Built a 2000hp v12 Merlin powered fx back in the days when 150hp was a lot. Oh, and Bill is still alive and kicking and still as sharp as he ever was.
The "new" Greenstuff sometime shortly before the race after his little "off" at forest elbow during Hardies Hero's the afternoon before. I remember seeing it live and still wonder how he walked away from that one.
Yes, I remember it happening to. I also remember one of the commentators talking to Johnson on the grid before the start of the race. Two things stand out in my mind....the commentator getting green paint on the sleeve of his jacket and Johnson whining about how poorly the car handled. Lack of grace to the team that gave him their car so he could compete. I've never liked Johnson since.
