Here's a couple of pics Graham Barrs took of my 1965 K Code Muzzy, about 1979....1st is how it was pre- paint job...2nd was painted but before the shelby stripes went on it.......and a young me in pic 2 :)

A short story to go with it was...we were at the Pod RWYB-ing, and my mate jacked the car up to put the exhausts back on but he jacked it up half on the radiator......it took 4hrs to get home (60mls) as the rad started leaking, everything but anything went into that rad, orange juice you name it...we even had to use body fluid in it to get us home, could do about 4miles and the temp went up to dangerous levels so had to stop everytime.....fun days!!

Well I'll be damned :)

I took this shot in about 1978 at the Firework Spectacular at Santa Pod.

Is that Neon Star next to your car in the second pic?

Not sure Paul, but I think it is......that was some car, a strong 12 sec runner, had a clutch in it that I couldn't push down!!!!......remember Graham took me out in it on the street one day and I asked him to do a drag shift for me.....well man could that man drive a 4 speed, he had a V-gate shifter in it, the gear change nearly broke my back....something else that was....see him at the Crocodile pub meet now, he's got a modifed older supercharged muzzy with about 550hp these days.
