Yes, you'd never know from looking at him, but Moff had his "lighter" moments too. A friend of mine was close to Louis Maillia (spelling correct?), who was with Allan on his visits to the U.S. in relation to the Mustang, Lou had some "entertaining" stories.

In 1977 we did, mostly because of Carol Smith the falcons were better engineered we did a lot of work. If you are into engineering read his book prepare to win. It is old school as such but a great source. I was a good time ,we had at the time a better vehicle, because of the people working on it. That is not to say others did not have dedicated staff as well. But at this time we had the better vehicle and a winning team.

Hey boa how do think young his young fella is coming along? he seems to be showing some promise any shades of his old man in there?

Getting back to Whincup, how many more times is going to knock Lowndes off the track when Lowndes is ahead on points & get away with it.

It's a Red Bull thing...........

Like you say, there's stuff that can't be said, but Brock certainly led the "good life"!!

Very strong women indeed. In the sunday mail the had a little section out of her book and it seems keeping women away from Brocky was a full time job. She goes into detail about the tricks some women would use to get a piece of Brocky even using some of those stunts right in front of her.She also tells the story of Brocky coming home to find his bags packed and waiting for him at the front door. I guess after being kicked out of the family home he finally understands what Bev and kids really mean to him.Looks like it's going to be a very good read.

.....and what happened to the both of them this weekend?

Is it a case of the cars weren't the best on track at Winton so couldn't be driven to victory?

He wasn't "kicked out of the family home"......He left of his own accord, for his own reasons.
