Beauty - ride organised ! I was starting to worry .......

Will be occupying the co-pilot's seat of Ken Cusack's Monaro

The car is a replica (built from the remains of the original car) of the Monaro that Colin Bond drove in the 1970 Ampol Trial. A REAL Historic Rally Car I reckon !

Bondy drove it at the head of the "Monaro Convoy" at Bathurst a year or so back. Its even autographed !

Thank god its got a 100+ litre fuel tank, for the long stage

Plan of attack - maximum fun, and maximum sideways at all spectator points .......

How many more sleeps ?

... except this is Barry Ferguson's car from the 1970 Ampol

Thats going to be a hell of an experience. I think you might end up with a smile like this.... etched into your dial for some time.
In the words of Python....Lucky Bastard!!!
