Here is s series of buggy images I was given by a chap I meet with an old J&S. Have a look at his $200 Porsche Speedster as well. He did a bit of racing and hillclimbing at a track in Sydney, anyone recognise it?
Spyder-WISD 07-09-05 11.6s @ 125 MPH
Speedster-WISD Nats 05 14.4s @ 89 MPH
Jet cruiser-Coogee 22-09-05 900 deg C @ 110,000 rpm
Weaseling out of things is what separates us from the animals....................Except the Weasel.
Yeah no problem, I'll email you them. Just let me know which ones. I've also got a series of newspaper clippings from the building of his buggy, and the original instructions for building the J&S (scan). Plus lots more on the race track.
cheers

It never changes-what a bloke will do to impress a couple of honies in bikinis.Looks like the wrong bloke's got the helmet on though.They are great old photos.Imagine being allowed to blast around sand hills like that now-much less in a floorpan with no protection.Ah the good old days.

hey peter,
can you email me all those pics as well.
what was the guy's name?
might be a guy I know,
he had a 1835 turbo engine in a J&S and told me he did 100mph plus along pittwater road.
Give wrx drivers a shock these days.
BTW, it had 4 wheel drums,
can you say scary?:duh
The guys name is Angus, and still has the buggy. Used to have a 356 engine in it at one stage. When he blew that up a mate (one of the Hamiltons) said he could have an Carrera 4 cam motor to replace it, he had a couple sitting in his shed! One sold on ebay for $92K USD just recently.
He also has the later bonnet as well.
