If you ever get the chance to do something for Unique Cars , Take it! they are so professional and beat all the other magazines hands down, they offered hotel, meals, drinks etc etc for 2 days .... that beats any of the other magazines who want your car for free and then put you thru the ringer for the privledge.
John Bowe and Jim Richards are both friendly great guys, and respect the car movement all the way. They also had a blast doing it.

Couldn't agree more . It was one off the best things I have ever done with my car. To spend so much time with a couple of motor sport legends was awesome. When do you get the chance to have a group of Australia's best drivers and critics drive your car and give a brutally honest opinion of it . I was pleasantly surprised by their comments. It don't think it was what they expected. A very professionally run operation. They take the very best care of you and your car.

A surprise bonus for me was some hot laps in the 2012 Boss 302 with Jimmy ( new car rev limited ) and the HSV/GTS with JB with every thing turned off. I have to say I could quite easily change camps for the Boss. It is quite an impressive little package.
 
 If you ever get the same opportunity, DO IT. It's something you'll never forget.:fantastic::fantastic::fantastic:
 I still can't get this smile off my face.

Ford leads, G.M. follows. Ipso facto. Eddie

I don't think the '64 GTO came out with a 6 cylinder engine as standard.
