Yes, I watched it too. I must confess I did wonder what it was all about. Not the type of hill climb I expected. No wheel stands, no tyre smoke, no crash helmets no fans standing on the side of the road, not even a chequered flag. But to AEC fans no doubt pure bliss.
I think we had some AEC buses in Brisbane once, the old round silver ones before the Leyland Panthers in the sixtys. Can remember them well, flat out at about 60K through Brisbane streets. There were other brands in that shape as well.
To each his own I guess,
Jeff
