Well, Clive's the one who tells it...
And Clive has a habit of keeping on talking. But when Clive tells a story, you can pretty well bet it's a true one.
That wasn't the pic I was looking for, either. The one I wanted showed the car with the inside front wheel about a foot off the ground. I think it's in the State Library archives.
There's no doubt that this run pictured was far from a winning one!
