Brockys Big Day Out

'... This little trinket is the radiator surround off my paddock bomb I built when I was 13-year-old. Little Austin 7 bit. Theoretically I could reconstruct the vehicle as an original, just using this item. I'm thinking about it. The paddock bomb served me well, I guess, but then I wanted to get on the track. I had a great hunger to get on the other side of that guardrail. ...' [0]

 

Noticed in the paper yesterday that the Peter Brocks Big Day Out was being held in Hurstbridge, not far from where I grew up. So I just had to go. It featured the first outing for Brockys original Austin Seven Paddock bomb he had as a 13 year old. I grabed a picture of it, 2006SEP120955 from the TV interview with Peter Thompson replayed this year.

 

Here was my chance to get a photo of the thing before it gets restored and displayed at the Winton Speedway at sometime soon in the future.
