Long live Possum

Its ten years since the late great Possum Bourne left us.
I can see him up there talking the ears off his mates like roger freeth and dick burns. I was lucky enough to know the bloke and I swear he could talk under wet cement if he wanted.
The term rest in peace would be a tough one for him

    Doesn't seem like that long. I can still vividly remember him driving his WRX in a 'stadium' stage under lights in the Rally of Canberra. He was clearly a cut above the rest in terms of talent and commitment. Exciting to watch.

    Sadly missed. He certainly was a great character who helped attract attention to the sport.
    As I type I'm sitting, as I do everyday, under this photo I took of Possum at Race to the Sky in 1998. Spookily only a few hundred metres from where he was tragically killed.

    Tar's for getting there. Dirt's for racing!

    He is missed, I have a tatty old poster of Possum and Roger Freeth in a Liberty....
    Not only could he talk but he'd show you just how sideways he'd gone with his hands good memories...........
