    Love these two blokes. Larry a legend, and Jack doing his best to carve out a career....he's a damn good driver in his own right, and seems an even better guy. The respect he shows his Dad and his old race cars is something else!

    Legend, does not do LP justice. He did it all. He built the cars better than even the factory teams, he was a winner in just about every mode of motorsport, he was an unsurpassed engineer, team owner and manager and he also brought in the blue chip sponsors. Jack, make your own way as your dad said. He's so proud of you.

    2:25 LP going ''that's 1st, 2nd, third, fourth, fifth'' Reminds me of when your dad would jump into your modified manual car after he'd been driving an auto for years! All that was missing was LP saying ''geez the clutch is heavy'' lol

    Not gonna lie, that kinda brought a bit of a lump and dust in my eye.
    Bloody beautifull fellas.
    My youngun (he's 30 this year) has a matchbox model of that car from when he was 6 sitting on his display stand.

    Man,that is just so cool;seeing the pride going both ways between these two blokes. Just bloody awesome! Love how Dad recognises that son needs to do his own thing,his own way. Now,was the great rally driver,Eddie Perkins,Larry's dad? If so,would explain a lot as he won round Aust. rally I think.In a Beetle!

    • @perkinsengineering
      @perkinsengineering  3 роки тому +1

      Yes that’s correct. Eddie is Larry’s Dad, Jack’s Grandfather. An accomplished driver himself, winning the Mobil Gas Round Australia Trial in a VW and more.

    I'm a great fan of Larry's but why do these videos always have to compete with that bloody noise called music? I caught maybe 10% of the dialog.

    always loved LP mate, all the work he put into behind the scene with Peter to win all those times, I knew your dad was the driving force in the building and engineering of those days and to find out the guy who built those cars actually knew how to not only drive but WOW was so fantastic wheel man as well for me was fascinating, total legend stuff yeh rocking horse shit rarity your old man but you Jack knew this all along didn't you mate! It saddens me also, you not able to make an assault on that great mountain with the young fella Jack!, (young Lozza) but I seem to be lost for words here with regards to your dream off taming that mountain sorry Buddy only to say I wish you all the best in this endeavor and all the best Jack.
    kind regards Steve.

  • @beagle7622
    @beagle7622 3 роки тому +1

    It’s funny he wins six, People will say but 3 were with Brock, but it’s more the other way . The 1984 car for instance that Larry & a couple of the other HDT cars he was involved with just had to stay on the road to win. Bucket loads of sponsorship money too. People as far as I am concerned underated Larry. One of the top 5 or 6 drivers this country has ever produced.
    Also easily one of the top 5 race engineers, up there with Brabham who was really a chassis guy, but like Larry could put his hand to anything.
    It’s a different world now. I heard a true story of Phil Irving who was one of the key people in the 1966 Repco Formula 1 engine , setting up Weber Carbs, fascinating stuff. Larry is obviously at home on the farm.
