Steve, yes Max is still going he is driving tow trucks but I think he is slowing it down a bit. I am not sure how old he is but I am sure he is in his
seventies he had his workshop established when i started my apprenticeship at Mid North Coast Motors( the local VW,Rover,Rambler,Land Rover,Fiat
agents) in 1966,he taught us young blokes a lot and remains a good friend who is good for a chat when I see him occasionally.He was a hard charger in
his younger days racing bikes,sidecars,rally cars etc.

Havent seen either car for a while, he drove his 61 cabrio for my wedding. I thought the red car had been crashed actually, but I might be confusing
that with the car that was used to build the red car.
He's actually lucky to be alive, a few years ago the tow cable on his tilt tow truck let go and the hook collected him in the face at speed and you
can imagine the result.

Max is still going strong at 84. No Volkswagens any more though. He lost 11 cars in a tragic shed fire including the 61 cabriolet. It now resides in
my garden as an art installation.
