Profile:

My first car was an XU 1 Torana that i bought in 1981. I restored it and in 1982 entered in into the Victorian Street Machine Show, thinking it was for street cars only. It turned out to be a professional car show and i managed to get second place - it all started from there.

I then returned in 1983 for a first and backed it up again in 1984 and '85. I then sold the Torana and retired - temporarily.

In 2002 I purchased a GTS-R and got invited to the Holden / Ford Show and managed to come in second place. I went home and started to re-build the car and went back to challenge in 2003 where i placed 1st. In 2005 I won the Australian Champion in all states at the Ford Vs Holden Show. In between i have attended the VIC Hot Rod Show for the past three years and managed to be a trophy winner for all 3 years.
