Racing legend Tom Walkinshaw has passed away at the age of 64 after he lost his battle with cancer.
Tom was a major contributor to motor racing and the Australian performance car industry. I truly believe that without him there would never have been a HSV or FPV. R.I.P. |

Although he was a flawed character, I'll remember those Jags in 1985 with a smile.
