I don't know what these terms mean: reverse cowgirl,is that a girl whom makes a horse gallop backwards?
Ganged?? ....what does a fishing setup have to do with your statement?

 

You need to get out more or read some books .

 

Apparently all that is necessary is to logon to Ferrari chat....bugger google or ask Horse

 

The reverse cowgirl is Yelkao Einna - I think she's Finnish

 

No idea if it was a Melbourne car in the 1980's, but I agree, very special car.

 

ever driven one?

 

I have. They're not great. I had lots of fun in mine though. Over 300hp. Roller rockers. Solid lifters. Lots of great gear. Handling and brakes very average.

 

Yes, back in 1993 I was considering buying one of the ex Malboro "promo" road car A9X hatches for 18.5K but decided to get the VC HDT instead 'cause it drove better and was cheaper. Also had several drives of Trevor Mc road registered A9X hatch ( the ex Alan Grice / Craven Mild 1978 Bathurst car ) before he sold it in 2004.

 

did you like driving 'em?

Ian Tate always spoke highly of them as did John Shepherd , best handling and breaking car of there type in the period .

I reckon they would be a fab thing on the track..380bhp ten inch rims and slicks .

 

I only drove them on the road (both road cars), didn't get to push them because they weren't my cars. I remember thinking the steering was pretty heavy and the brakes only so so, but that could have been due to the condition of those particular cars. I reckon they still look great, along with the Falcon GT coupes.

 

And look what just popped up for sale.

That car here was stored with what I think is the other car for sale , in those days it was owned by "The leg" Wayne Murphy, he has owned Ferrari;s

 

Handling and brakes were terrible compared to my 246.

 

I stopped watching when he put on driving gloves to drive the toaster.
