Not bad going I guess, this article is the 1,318th I’ve posted since May 15, 2014.

The first was this one about Sophia Loren’s Mercedes Benz 300SL, why not start with a pretty lady and car I thought: https://primotipo.com/2014/05/15/i-like-the-smell-of-leather/

Thanks for reading the thing.

Way back in 2014 I was commuting by ‘plane weekly from Melbourne to Adelaide. It was a good job but without any mates I was bored shitless in the evenings. When Rodway Wolfe arrived in Adelaide with his collection of Repco Brabham Engines material, the die was cast, I owed it to him make public the material. Thanks again Rodway for being the catalyst for implementing what I had been procrastinating about for a while. My friend Dianne Ward set the site up and off I went.

We’ve had good staff retention, the senior scribbler is still with us and hogs the limelight, but thanks to Bob King and Stephen Dalton for their contributions down the years. The ‘sub-editors’ are critical in any publication, thanks here again to Stephen, and Rob Bartholomaeus for their enduring attention to detail and polite patience!

Here’s to another 10 I guess, onwards and upwards…

Finito…
