I have been enjoying reading Colins book immensely and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the Golden era of Australian motor racing.
The amount of detail and interesting stories make for great reading and I am sorry to be nearing the end of the book.

Yeah, read a couple of pages they sampled in AMC Mag...seems like a good read. Santa? you there?

Yes mate you'll love it and only about 30 bucks at K Mart.

The Allan Grice one is also worth getting.  I also listened to the Neil Crompton audio book last time I drove east.  Lots of good stories there too.

Yes, some of the V8 Slueth ( Noonan) and  or Rusty's Garage  (Greg Rust) podcasts - both on Spotify, can be interesting.

They have name guests with some good stories/back stories about car racing from back in the day.

I found I thought I knew some of these people's stories, but there is so more, that I'd never even heard of.

Next time you are on a long trip, listen to the Wally Storey interview in two parts on the Australian Muscle Car podcast.  Very entertaining and he doesn't pull punches when talking about others in motorsport in the 80's and 90's.
