Thanks Rick and Dave - I thought I'd fallen off the edge of the world too for a while. It's great to be back. What great photos! I love the Bob Rose stand in the background - what a hoot. It looks like it must have been so much fun Dave.
I finally bought a Blitz - Fred and Marilyn Reeves' C60X. I've never owned a Blitz before - but it's something I've always wanted since I was a little kid. A mate of my older brother restored a C-15A 4x2 while he was still in high school and I remember riding around in it - I was only five and couldn't see through the windscreen, but I remember the hot engine cover and the terrific look of the whole truck. And Fred's C60X was the first one I ever drove - during Back to the Track in '95 when we swapped for a day and Fred drove the Studebaker.
Speaking of filming, the week before I picked the truck up from Fred in March, it was used in an episode of 'The Biggest Loser' where some muscly, macho bloke called 'Commando' drives up to an unsuspecting group of, well...fat people, I guess...and drives off with two of them to a secret boot camp. Fred said he had a ball. There's an internet link to it somewhere - I'll try and find it - it's quite funny. Great to speak with you both again.
