some more from the Winter files

 been experimenting with a couple of different scanners to try to sharpen up the old photos, but not much success...now..anyone who knew hot rodding in Brisbane in the 70s, was so familiar with Wilga Street..Chas, Ethel, Les Dave and Margaret Winter lived here, and there was no shortage of activity on any given weekend..this would have been a container unload, sometime after Les went to USA for 6 months, and packed plenty of material..
 I skip around..here's the Y block in the old stars n stripes coupe
 here's the old faithful Buick , and if I remember the story, Les n Gary Densham checked it out, dropped a lead off to get the not running right discount, paid a few hundred dollars and put putted out the yard..put the lead back on and had lots of trouble free miles...don't know if that is exactly how it went, but I can just imagine that happening
 steel deuce, pretty sure this is the one that Steve Davies in Newcastle bought
 fun times..containers in the back yard!..Owen Pattersons Funny Car, Dave Winters track roadster
 A coupe might have gone on to Allen Evans...not sure about the others except for Steves 32
 Bunch of As..Ian Camerons bucket..Les Ws roadster..Warren Wilkies coupe, Les Ws Impala and the roadster reborn again as a sedan delivery again
 Les can't remember these, but looks like Lakeside..that could be Terry Allen?
 who had Mustangs?..Geoghan and Cusack..Fahey..Coppins ..Jane


 maybe McKeownn..Lotus Cortina..and Ian Geoghegan and greg Cusack?









 Norm Beechey



 tried a different scan..didn't work!
