L88 was the boss of the corvettes.
Grandpop drove one at top speed through the center of canberra back in the day. I have no idea the reason why, it wasn’t his car - the owner handed it over so the top speed could be registered. Why it was done in the middle of Canberra is beyond me.

Grandpop was also an advanced driving instructor for the police, he taught me much of my skilled driver training. At 16 he would take me on deserted roads and do things like pulling on the handbrake to give me experience of being completely out of control. Scared the crap out of me!
At 16, with powerful cars being my only obsession, it did much to make me a safe driver. To this day I rarely go through an intersection without checking side streets don’t have a none-observant driver about to ram me.
