I know some of you guys like to collect these old pics.
Apologies if they have been seen before.
They are the property of Alan Browne.

Pics of the Re-car hatch are very hard to come by, and now that I have seen these ones up close, it opens up a few more questions about a certain car floating around I know of. Time to investigate further.

Not a fully endorsed driver
Race licence is similar to your normal licence where theres a probationary period
You need to have a couple of drivers sign off on your performance to proceed

Correct on both accounts Rob.. They had many cowboys peddling worked V8's for highway truck accident spotting and were fairly ruthless in being first on the scene, Easy to see em coming with a plethora of aerials...

Mate of mine ran a heavy towtruck for a long time.
Used to mainly get Royans hassling him for jobs.
And Forners in Sydney.
He took most of his work to Keith.
They used to offer ridiculous stuff to get the jobs
