The XU1 was a car that won touring car races and some of the roughest rallies in Australia when driven by such household names as Peter Brock and Colin Bond. This particular […]
I should explain that Aussie Motoring is brought to you from Hervey Bay in beautiful sub-tropical Queensland and, while business usually keeps us confined to Hervey Bay, we do sometimes get to go a little further afield.
