I found a bunch of photos we took at the beginning of the year,,where we were hoping to lure Ken Thurm for a few hours while he was in Auckland.
These pics have been hiding on the laptop for several months..

Interesting to note that when Dave Alexander was building that car,he did it entirely from photos,any information he could get,plus on a trip to the States,he managed to get permission to go on the other side of the barrier in the museum to get a pile of measurements and pics to make sure it was as accurate as he could get,hence Art Chrisman saw it at Bonneville last year,and was quite blown away by the authenticity of the build,he also autographed the dash,then Dave and his friend Paul "Pins" Sattler proceded to drive its wheels off and gazzumped each others records a few times..

Since then,its been dirt tracking,and driven all over..
