I recently scanned more of Tony\u2019 personal slides including some of his cars. His beloved Holden, purchased from Garry Rogers Motors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tony later upgraded that to a green Holden Torana GTR XU-1. He often spoke of this car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know Tony had a Ford V8 along the way but have no photo (EDIT: photo found). He upgraded the Ford to a 1998 White WRX with gold Simmons mag wheels, then founded the NSW WRX Club and later upgraded to a White Subaru 4 door STi, with the number plates Sic Em.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tony and many others loved the dirt days at Bathurst where we see Sic Em in action below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When he moved to Forster, Tony took the STi and later sold it to finance his Hobie Adventure Island. It was a smart move as Tony enjoyed immensely sailing around the lakes and out to sea. Tony was then using a Holden Commodore Wagon as his motor, serviced free of charge by Dave Dick. Thanks Dave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
