WOW how cool is this contact?
I was a very active amateur radio operator in the early 80's and had a friend in Sydney that was into Studebaker cars His name is John Saunders (do you know John)? I at the time (as now) am involved in Mustang's, Shelby's and interesting Ford and Ford powered Stuff. so John Saunders and I talked cars allot and John had this Idea? and said....... Why don't I get someone from the Mustang club Here to talk to you and you can get someone from you local Studebaker club on your end, and we can all talk cars on our next net schedule..... So we did! This was pre internet and dialogue was real time. Allot a questions and back and forth about where Cleveland blocks ended up and where the rest of the Studebaker ended up and so on? Later that year we traveled to Australia and hooked up with my Studebaker / Ham radio friend and the O'Sullivan Mustang crew! They ALL showed up at our hotel and drove us to a local car show. Here I am sitting in a car i am very familiar with except i am sitting in the front left seat looking at the glove box and not the steering wheel while O'Sullivan is in the right seat looking over a steering wheel and operating the car. My wife is in the back seat yelling at me WATCH WHERE YOUR GOING cause after all I was in the Drivers seat (if we were in the States) We had a fun day and being from the States we had allot a questions about early Mustangs. When Mike was in the States he and his Daughter came by for a visit this was back in the mid 80's. Good to hear he is doing good. and i Agree...Very good guy! and yes If we drive on the Right Side side of the road you must be driving on the Wrong Side of the road :-) Take care or as car guys say in Boston Take car Yank Joke!
