Whaddayaknow?

I

n regard to the Ray Alford

XD Falcon Group C car that featured in

Whaddayaknow in issue #109, the person who

bought it [from Alford] had the car painted white

and had it as a daily driver. I was working for

Mullins Wheels in Adelaide at the time and he

contacted me to  t some Center Line Wheels to

it and I rang Ray to  nd out the offsets so that

I could get the rims as they were special order.

From re ection this owner’s name was Chris

and was originally from Melbourne. Since then

I lost contact as I changed jobs, but I believe

that he also passed on.

ED: Thanks Rob. Hopefully that might jog the

memory of other readers, as, sadly, we’ve

received no other correspondence on the

whereabouts of the Alford XD.

Not just dioramas

T

hank you for the story on my dioramas in

Mini Muscle in issue #109. Congrats on the

latest magazine as it had some great stories

and really enjoyed the Sacred Sites story on the

tracks of NE Victoria. Being a local made it a

very interesting read.

Regarding your slot car section, I sold my slot

car layout that took me two years to complete. As

the images show, it was set out like a train buff’s

layout. I thought your readers would like to see

that I do build other items not just workshops.

ED: Love your work, Peter!

Hey! That’s me!

I

spotted myself in your crowd shot at Bathurst

following the famous HDT 1-2 in 1984. I was

nine at the time and remember the moment,

and day, vividly. I am the boy in the white and

red Commodore hat and blue sweater being

held up by my now late father.

With generations of my family originating from

Bathurst, I achieved 26 straight (starting in 1980)

Bathurst 1000 pilgrimages before moving to

Queensland in 2006, where my attendance has

become more sporadic.

I have not missed an issue of AMC since

becoming a fan from the beginning.
