That's a great interview the car has come a long way since then and will be back at finke next year with a second vehicle for the team. These days the car has had some suspension updates and some diff work. We will be racing again at the end of the month then it will be time to concern traits on getting the new car easy whilst maintaining the old girl.
Cheers

G'day bob
I'll do my best to keep you guys updated. I have been trying to get hold of the guy doing the disc brake conversion but have not had any luck as yet I have a phone number from lotz a landies and tried to PM but have not managed to get him. Better braking is the next evolution for the car as the old drum brakes don't do much for stopping when you are racing. We are always after more sponsors so if you know any one that would like to get involved please shoot me a PM and I'll send you my number. We have the face book page that we put regular photos on and we also hope to have a website up in the not to distant future.
The car is still run by volunteers we do get good support from queensland RSL for all our safety gear. But we are always looking for more support especially as we push towards building the second vehicle.
Cheers

RSL RAEMUS ROVER
New front shock set up
Had a call out for a chassis for RSL Raemus Rover Racing. seems we had one here:)
The new chassis 94323890c will come from us for the 2a. It is/was 30-181 94323890c FFR 24 volt fitted with winch, sad to see another military to let go but glad to see another running around :D
Mrs hh:angel:
Hey there Jase,
I'm in the RSL Raemus Rover Racing team. I did up a short video from photos and footage from the last 18 months or so. But since doing it, I was asked if mind if the video gets passed around our sponsors and the like, plus for anyone curious what we do. Anyway, from a quick slap together, I'm now spending the time to do it properly, however we as the team have also agreed to have some short interview type clips with current and maybe former members of the team, a bit of history etc. The other thing is that I've been trying to track down some old photos or film from the early days, both the series II and the 'Son of Raemus',,, even that little buggy that was seen in some of the photos you posted would be great. It's quite ironic that back in the days when your dad was running things there was two Rovers and a buggy,,, and there is the same line up again, but a different series III and a different buggy :P
I stumbled on your post, and saw your pix,,, would you mind if I used some of them? And if you happen to have more, then awesome
Anyway, let me know
Cheers
Cameron
