Flight I used to race my old Cortina against my bother’s (twin brother that is) Dato 1600. Later I got a Stanza, bought it brand new, I used to take it down all the bush tracks around Catherine Hill Bay. Once I lost it and was going over an embankment and the only thing that stopped me was a tree. Took out a telegraph pole in the wet one night and my old man took me to the cop shop the next day to report it…. I told the cop (still remember my old man asking him to repeat his name.. Sgt Dick, for fuck sake if I wasn’t already in the shit!)…. as I was saying…. told the cop I swerved to avoid a cat. Lucky it was following an arvo shift and no one was around and I managed to drive it home. When I finally sold it, they had to toe it out of the yard. The twin jet carby got me out of trouble more than once…. And might as well tell you everything…. Had it going down the hill at Catho, past the bowlo towards the old Catho shop doing a ton, tripping on mushrooms
they were the fucken days, probably lucky I’m still here.
I bought an ej holden while I was waiting for someone to buy the stanza, it was built like a tank and much safer, but still used to get it airborne, they were good days down at Moonie Beach
Don’t look like that or drive like that anymore
