I was a bit late getting the latest Australian Muscle Car magazine and have only just finished reading it.
I thought the story on Moss and Brabham at Bathurst in the L34 was really good until the interview with Moss where he makes out like he had a good time and nothing really fazed him. Unlike the interview he did before the race.

I think Jack was a bit more laid back about it all.

both drivers came out of retirement to compete
thank god they did as it was a memorable moment in the
history of the great race
and in the levi's paint job it looked superb!
until shortly after the starters flag dropped
i love everything about the great race at bathurst
and all of it's history
cheers davemc

I've always found it hard to like Sir Stirling, not sure why, but the attitude he presents in that article is probably part of it.

I am not trying to take anything away from him. He has made some remarkable achievements during his life. But I have found the same thing Craig. He just always seemed a little bit up himself.
