Would still like to see a Kangaroo or Koala in a car pic, Rob. That would be so cool!.

Hi Linda,

This is as close as I have so far....

As you all probably know Victor has passed away, very sad news indeed.

I first knew of Victor as someone who was on the Classic Z forum and HybridZ as well, I have been intop Z cars most of my adult life.

I was surprised to see four years ago that he had had a stroke and was selling some of his cars to help with a carer.

Then I saw the raffle that was on a few sites on the net and thought I know of this guy and what is $100 dollars to me? I thought I would help support him and buy a ticket.

Well 220 tickets were sold and I was the winner.

I was very surprised by this and had to work out how to get the car over to Australia, with Ron's help.

I didn't expect to be driving a Datsun Roadster but have had such an adventure with this car, I have a whole bunch of new friends that I travel with a few times a year and my life has been changed because of this.

I saw that there was going to be a Run in memory of Vic on the Sunday so my wife and I got up on our Sunday at 4.30am and drove Conekiller to the beach for some pictures and to be in some way part of what was happening in LA.

Here are some pics from the morning.

You know that Conekiller has a life of her own, she has been in a magazine in Japan with Victor and then here she was in a tv ad and this year she was in a wedding video of some friends of mine, so have a watch and check out this cool video.
