Firstly I would like to give my condolences to Brian's family.
I worked in Takanini, for Cliff Fenwick, many years ago and dealt with Brian numerous times.
"Baggy" you were the spirit and the life of racing, a true legend. I just loved your carefree and fun attitude towards life.
You will be sadly missed but your legacy will never be forgotten.
Rest In Peace mate.
