The Budgie speaks (well its owner anyway)


We have confirmed that Joe Torony will speak at the 40th Anniversary Dinner on 29 June 2013. The photo above shows Joe and the famous 'Budgie' and a few of  their trophies. 


The Budgie no longer survives, but Joe recently sold his last racing P76 to a prominent Western Australian P76 hoarder collector. Joe is also writing an article about the Budgie and the sporting culture of the Leyland P76 for the Event Book. I had a conversation with Joe recently and he remembers technical details from 30 years ago as if he just put the manual down a few moments ago for a tea break.
