Stanza V8 re-emerges<br />
Long time Queensland<br />
competitor and enthusiast,<br />
Paul Williamson, has<br />
recently revealed that he<br />
has acquired the original<br />
Tony Masling Nissan<br />
Stanza V8 (pictured), which<br />
challenged the factory cars<br />
in the ARC in the early 80s.<br />
The car moved on to<br />
North Queenslander,<br />
Geoff Keys, who continued<br />
competing locally and<br />
nationally for some years.<br />
Paul says he intends to<br />
restore it to its original<br />
condition, meaning it may<br />
not meet current CAMS<br />
safety specifications, but<br />
will be eligible to compete<br />
elsewhere.<br />

Carrigans selling Evo 9<br />
Toowoomba driver,<br />
Tristan Carrigan, has his<br />
Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9<br />
up for sale. Carrigan and<br />
brother, Andy, set the<br />
Queenland rally scene<br />
on fire in the early 2000s,<br />
winning a Queensland<br />
Championship outright in a<br />
Ford Laser Tx3 (2WD).<br />
The young brothers gave<br />
rallying away for many<br />
years to build families and<br />
businesses, but have reemerged<br />
in recent years, .<br />
Tristan admitted that he<br />
would prefer to get back<br />
into a ‘serious’ front-wheel<br />
drive car! Stay tuned.<br />
