This is, as I see it, a DREAM-COME TRUE for every boy of adult age! A shame, that it`s much too far away

Yes Gerhard it is it's docked just out of my mobility scooter range, I'd seriously consider it if I had better health I hope to get photos over summer of my models close to the Golden City.

Hi PD's......& yes Gerhard & I am in Australia  land ....but 700 km is also too much for me to drive each morning before work  .....Derek

If you push the pedal to the metal you might do it in a bit under 9hrs Derek 

Hi Derek
If you borrow a car from V8 Utes, you might be faster than that

  ....OZ V8's .........no..no..no... they go too fast for me.....  this year the V8 utes are pushing 295 km/hour..... Derek

I love to watch them on Motors TV every time they are shown. Almost better than NASCAR (Dont tell to our US-Friends) 

Lost interest in motor sport when I could no longer compete, sad 10yrs since I sold my Hillclimb/club sprint car.
