David Bowden

David, though retired, is our senior member. Without him there would be no car collection to maintain, therefore no car care products. His vision to protect our old touring cars has led to a spectacular amount of motoring history residing in sleepy little Buderim.

David loves getting around the sheds and with his background in mechanics (he did his apprenticeship at Ford in the late 50's) helps out where he can. He is an honorary member of the board of directors at the local Buderim hospital and enjoys the chance to be able to give back to the community.

Sorry about the lame shot, but that's David in the Thorpe Cobra, lining up next to Chris at the 06 Nostalgia Drags.

David's favourite car from the collection for this month is the: GTHO Superfalcon.

Loves; Pauline, his wife of 30 odd years. People having a go. Real cars.

Hates; Getting pestered, Chris not cleaning the pool.

Dan Bowden

Dan is the elder of the two brothers and the resident perfectionist. Proudly pedantic, he ensures every one of the cars is restored period correct and using all the right parts. Dan prides himself on the presentation of the cars, a true perfectionist, he likes them to be immaculate.

In a nutshell, Dan is our Quality Control man for everything that goes on here. Dan is also the mastermind behind Four On The Floor. Our sister company that specialises in Memorabilia for our cars. Dan is also our resident 'technophile', any queries regarding the cars are forwarded to him and if he doesn't know them, he will find out for you.

When he is not working, Dan can be found cruising around in his 1964 Falcon Sprint, surfing, or racing his very immaculate and rapid 356 Porsche Carrera.

Dan's favourite car from the collection for this month is the John Deere Ride On Mower

Loves; Targa Tassie, correctly restored cars and people asking him for his autograph.

No really, I'm not a wanker.

Hates; Over zealous traffic cops, bitchy people and people who don't ask him for his autograph.

Chris Bowden

The youngest of the two brothers, Chris is the chief pool cleaner.

When he is not "working", Chris likes to surf and race his 1963 Falcon Sprint in local historic events.

His favourite car from the collection for this lunar phase is the Moffstang (& the Sprint!)

Loves; Having a laugh and all that entails.

Hates; Negative people.

Clive Noonan

Our head mechanic and fix everything Chap. Clive is a dedicated motorsport fan and loves his V8's. Fortunately for us he is also very handy with Porsche's and even Rotary's. Clive also runs Noonan Motorsport, a Caloundra based performance engineering company. He thinks it could be one of Australia's best, if it wasn't for his staff all being kiwi's.

Clive's favourite car from the collection for this month is the Frenchy Wild Violet XYGTHO.

Loves;  Motorsport, V8's, his kids, Rat Rod's and driver error.

Hates; Jokes about moustaches, vindictive people, Boyd Rod's and mechanical error.

Ross "Boss" Mackenzie.

The hidden brains of the operation, "Bosco" keeps us all in check and crosses our T's and dot's our I's.

Without him our finances would be all over the place. Every operation needs a Ross and all successful businesses have at least one. Ross used to campaign a Nota Major and a very nice blown Lotus 11.

When he is not working Ross is out cruising in his Landcruiser (heh-heh) and keeping his wife Heidi happy.

Loves; A good glass of "top-shelf" Red, Sports car racing from the 60-70's. Lotus 11's, his family and his good looking, intelligent, witty, son-in-law.

Severely Dislikes; CAMS.

Ross's favourite car from the collection is: Fahey '66 Shelby Trans Am Mustang.

Kevin Bartlett

Well where does one begin?

2 times Gold Star winner, back in the days of when it meant something.

1974 Bathurst winner.

Has raced all over the world, he even knows Dan Gurney! (well, it impressed me.)

Synonymous with F5000; him and his good mate, the late Max Stewart, ruled the series.

Amazingly, most of you know him as the Channel 9 Camaro roller.

Given his accolades, he is a surprisingly humble person with a pretty good sense of humor. But watch it! He can still be a bit cranky at times.

We are pretty honored to consider KB as one of our gang and having being a passenger in the GT40,

with him at the wheel, is something I will never forget. (He calls it a F5000 with headlights! heh-heh)

KB is our resident race technician. You give him a car to drive, he does a couple of laps and comes back in with a list for him Clive and Lloyd to sort out. It is that simple. He is also an invaluable source of information for everything that happened in the 60's-70's-80'sand 90's.

For the record, he has NOT retired as a driver.

KB's favourite car from the collection for this month is the Channel 9 Camaro (That won't change)

Loves; A glass of red on a nice afternoon. Good hard driving. CAMS.

Hates; People talking about the "Channel 6" Camaro, getting pestered, bad drivers.
