Hmmm... just talking to the missus, saying I gotta do a road trip with the oldest (6 1/2).

She says "Why don't ya? You've got enough A/L up your sleeve!"

I think "Yeah!!! Leave him at home and smoke 'em up down the street screamin "Laaaateeer!!!"... then it hits me... You're a Father, take him with you... you idiot!!!"

So I might just do it!
The last time I went through the museum was 2002... there wasn't anything of that quality there then!!!
Thanks for the pics CraigA!!!! (it's all your fault!!!!!! )

2 road trips in two years for both boys.

Both Perth Sydney

Christmas 07 took the older lad to Bathurst for the 'Drive Bathurst' event with the torry. I remember we had the museum to ourselves for hours, and when we were thrown out there were only a couple of other's in there.

Christmas just gone took the young bloke to Sydney to bring a race car and trailer back.

Both times i had my old man with me so it was a 3 gen thing as well.

Good times, id say Do It !

The Goss Jag is actually the one that broke the clutch in 84 on the start line, but Goss has made it into the 85 car.
Isn't it a shame someone else claims to own the 84 Brock VK. For anyone in any doubt, look at the car carefully, then look at the big picture of it on the wall in the 84 race then make your own mind up....

A few reasons. One of the major ones was Brock was the only person to say Champion has the 05 car, the rest of the team says no. When the car was donated to the museum in the first place back in the mid 80's, it came without an engine. It was returned to HDT to have the engine fitted. The woman who worked there at the time told me when the car came back, it was like it was a different car. The original car they had was fresh, the car they got back looked like it has just finished racing. The rumor floating at the time was the guy who wanted the car in WA stuffed Brock around, so Brock swapped the cars back around so he didn't get 05. Someone I know also has photographic proof, however the shitfight it would cause is not worth his showing it. If you are in the museum, look at the drivers side of the car, then look at the massive picture they have of the car on the wall on pit straight during the 84 race, you will see every little mark on the car matches up. You'll also see doors and guards are easy to change, the roof however is the original 05. Peter Brock was a very vain person and to see his 05 car in the museum for all time would have suited his ego to a T. Of course, CAMS could clear this up if the copies of the log books hadn't all disappeared....strange that.
