Johnny Gee, one of Australia’s most colourful motorbike collectors and owner of Antique Motorcycles in Melbourne, first started collecting motorbikes at the age of 8 and hasn’t stopped since. He shared some great stories with us and brought in a couple of his favourite bikes, including one powered by a helicopter jet turbine motor.
Gold Logie award winning actor John Wood joined us, not to talk about his roles as Stipendiary Magistrate Michael Rafferty in ‘Rafferty’s Rules’ or as Senior Sergeant Tom Croydon in the long running police drama ‘Blue Heelers’, but more importantly, to talk about his love for Jaguar motor cars.
Coming up in June our Famous Faces will be:
Steve Hoinville – Founder of Australian company Motum Similation which has developed ‘True Motion’ technology that removes motion imperfections and so creates one of the most realistic sports simulators available.
Guy Grossi – Renowned celebrity chef who during the Covid 19 lockdown relied on cars to keep his business going and he has a love of Maseratti’s.
Molly Taylor – Although born into Rallying Royalty here in Australia, Molly had to fight to get to where she is today as one of Australia’s top rally drivers with international experience.
Rob Herrod – Some say he’s Australia’s Carroll Shelby having recently collaborated with FORD Australia to release the factory backed supercharged Mustang R-Spec, but he’s far more than just that car.
Join myself, Dave Morley (Morley) and Mike Sinclair (Sinkers), on 7Mate Saturdays at 3pm, Wednesday’s at 5:00pm and on 7plus for Garage 41, supported by Famous Insurance.
