A quick intro as it seems to be upsetting folk that some have been too brief, I have always been interested in bikes, scooters and cars since I was a kid. My first experiance of drag racing was at Blackbush, as kids we would cycle over and hide our bikes in the woods and sneak in round the back. Later as a teenager Hot Rod the movie set me on a long journey to finally owning a Willys Gasser, only taken 30 years! in between I have built a number of Minors, a 21 stud Flathead powered 27 T, a Rover powered 32 coupe, I still own a 49 Ford club coupe, and am presently the custodian of Adrian Smiths old Chevy truck, which I swapped for my old Harley 45 bobber.
The cars have been swaped or sold along the way but I have managed to hang on to most of the friends that I have made, I am proud to say that I am an active member of the EXECUTIONERS CAR CLUB, I have raced in and helped organise the Flathead Meltdown, been involved in the Hot Rod Hayrides and various Spring & Autumn Riot's at the Ace Cafe.
When I first started going to shows in the 70's I wondered what all the old grey bearded blokes were doing, now I understand, wondering where their youth went and if they can afford the parts for the next project!
See you at the Hayride!
