Redwarf Posted February 9, 2013 Report Posted February 9, 2013 No, Batch hired a suit like the rest of us. :D Yep, Theo with the really tidy 15 Sprinter. I believe the car went to NSW after he passed away. Quote
carbonboy Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Posted February 9, 2013 I didn't realise they'd named a trophy after Theo. I'm glad, he was a great guy. What's the trophy for? Batch gets particularly annoyed when you beat him in his own car. Incidently he was one of my groomsmen at my wedding. Yes, Batch in a suit. :D The trophy is for the years Motorkhana Champion, I believe it was Theos widow who presented it last year. I knew nothing of all of this, got a bit of a crash course in Club/Motorkhana history that night! I didn't know Theo, but it seems appropriate. Batch in a suit that's not a race suit? :blinks: Quote
coln72 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Nice to see a dedicated clubman recognised in this way. Theo, Batch, Neil, Rob........some old names are popping up in this thread. Edited February 10, 2013 by coln72 Quote
Redwarf Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 If you want another set of names from the old days, that looks like Leigh and Dianne's Civic in the photos, too. Or is that the one Maurie Hangar is driving now? Quote
coln72 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 Would that one still be alive? Had my first and only rally :( in Liegh's Civic. The Renault special was also around a long time ago. Quote
carbonboy Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Posted February 11, 2013 I didn't happen to catch the name of the owner of the Civic, if it helps at all he was teaching two young boys (maybe 12 & 14yrs old?) how to drive in it. They didn't do too badly either! Got my CAMS Licence in the mail today. :D Quote
coln72 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 don't know how old Leighs kids were back in the early naughties, but I replaced his wife in the silly seat because of them from memory. Quote
