Any guy who would let me drive his newly registered car, and such a historically significant one at that, up around the dams and over Mt Glorious over some less than perfect roads, can't be all bad. Covering some 200 klms of sometimes spirited driving in the very first of the Pace cars with its owner totally relaxed beside me, through a beautiful part of the south-east on a perfect Queensland afternoon is a memory that will stay with me always.

You were a bloody champ Brad, and if we are to believe the teachings you're now on a journey that surpasses the understanding of we mere mortals. God speed mate. We'll beep as we go past your Hyperdome pick-up spot on Sunday. Our convoy will be one short.
