    Tough Looking Race Cars.

    I am hoping you blokes have got some pictures and memories of the race cars you love the most.The pictures i have found are not the best Quality but they are three cars i think look bloody good.

    The Greens tuf Falcon is a car i remember as the first race car poster i ever put on my wall as a kid. The first time i went to the DJR factory, i clearly remember spending at least 90% of the day just looking at the mighty green machine.That Falcon and Dick himself is the whole reason i started following Ford.

    Which is strange,because as a kid our family mainly had Holden's and Valiant's with a few other odd-ball cars along the way like a Hillman Hunter(****box) and a Citreon(bigger ****box) before we left New Zealand we had a Chev Impala with the 327,that car has a lot of great memories for me.

    The Hillman Hunter won the first London to sydney marathon then backed it up with a win in Australia's first 250k off-road race beating the factory Ford team
    **** box maybe but you have to give them credit Citroen had the L - S in the bag but had a headon with a couple of drunk cops on a closed section of road I think so the two heaps off crap didn't do to bad

    I see your point mate,But as a kid when your mates are getting dropped off at school and rugby practice in Holden's and Ford's,Valiant's the dog poo brown Hillman or Bright orange Citreon only got me picked on.

    It wasn't until i got older that i understood the engineering in the Citreon.

    Off track a bit,SWMBO drags me into those 2nd hand book shops,found a couple of bargains for $12 each last weekend.

    Dick Johnson,the Autobiography. Was a fantastic read,already finished it,he is definitely an Aussie battler.

    Oh,and a genuine D1 Tdi 300 workshop manual.

    No,its called,Dick Johnson,the autobiography of a true blue aussie sporting legend.By Dick Johnson and James Phelps.

    Starts at the beginning when he was a kid,goes up to when Courtney departed DJR.So it is pretty recent.
