    they had (have?) a Black Shadow and also a Comet I think. Black Shadow was the "ordinary" version :)

    edit, just checked. They have a Black Knight, which is a Rapide with bodywork covering the rear wheel. I'm certain there was a Comet too, but it's not on their website.

    I love the Putty Rd, I did from Singleton to Windsor in my V8 Commodore in 1hr 15mins when I use to drive it every other weekend.

    Couple of years ago coming back from the Hunter Valley for the weekend I did it in 50 minutes in the 355 just ambling along.

    It's not a great road with lots of twisty bits but it is fun :)

    I drove it to Singleton earlier this year, the road has been resurfaced and is in excellent condition.

    And that is precisely why I’ll never go to the annual FCA meeting. Fancy dress FFS!
