Racing Guru: My First Bathurst
by Brian Goulding When Channel 7 began covering the Armstrong 500 at Mount Panorama, Bathurst, in 1963 I was 12. Sixty years ago, the Armstrong 500 was a 500-mile race for almost standard showroom touring cars. The previous three annual 500s took place at the fast Phillip Island circuit in Victoria, but the circuit surface […]
The Case Book of 23s
By Eli Solomon Eli goes down a slippery slope with this article that attempts to trace all the Lotus 23s that raced in South East Asia.

Therefore, we get used to seeing our best drivers competing exclusively […]
A one-family Gemini for 44-years
by John O’Farrell I’m custodian of a Holden Gemini that I believe is the best surviving Gemini wagon in Australia. Since it’s in stock specification and showroom condition, I make this bold statement based on my on-line involvement with the nationwide Gemini community. KCJ 193 was certainly good enough to be selected for Home Delivery, […]
