Title: Mason Smith & The Oldest Gen 1
Post by: greentoad on May 12, 2006, 10:43 PM: Hi all

I met up with Mason today. We had a good chat and I took loads of pics of his Gen 1, the shop, some spares plus also got the serial. I also took quite a few notes and if anyone is interested can write it up, with some pictures etc.

He also has some history that I found interesting on parts, videos etc, plus has a CC! (I racked his brain for a while ;)) and we talked about some old tricks aswell.

I also said that maybe we could meet up again and I could take more pictures of his personnel items and maybe do a more formal interview (or would it be okay if a Rad member did - any takers?).

If any of you are interested in me putting up some info please reply with comments and questions as I would not want to waste my time or his.

Cheers

J.
