an absolute legend gone far to soon I will treasure the memories I have of him when we met a few times such a down to earth guy RIP Possum #Subarurallynz
It was absolutely awesome to watch just the way how close he goes into the corner and doing it all in manual no sequential gearbox here . I could just imagine how fast he would have been if he had all the new technology they have now in a rally car legendary
to the best of my memory it was a WRC car that was crashed badly at rally NZ. I think possum signed a deal that meant he could buy it but it couldnt be used in rally ever again. It was beefed up bigtime to be a fulltime hillclimb machine but i cant remember any actual numbers.
It was always my dream to see my dads in-car footage of his 8 minutes 37 second victory. Thanks for uploading :)
If Possum is your dad I would be happy to send you the original tape, signed by possum. flick me a message if your keen

RIP bro. My child hood hero. Every time the wrc came through through Kaipara it was this dude we were going to see.
I have a video taken by myself in the helicopter that followed Possum up the hill Have been meaning to get it edited and onto disc.
That would be spectacular, theres a heli video from 2015 that's one of the best hill climb videos I've ever seen. This is better than pikes peak.
Would love to see this he was such a legend
my dad has possum bourne computer chip in his 1999 subaru impreza wrx sti

I have this VHS at home but no way to watch or upload it....could you upload the entire vid Kev?
This is all my VHS has on it, I didn't know there was a longer one around, does it have tv coverage on it?
