R.I.P
Does anyone have any pics/magazine scans of the car? There isnt a great deal on the Intenret. Particularly the engine bay.

Yep sure do, old Zoom mags. I'll figure out how to host them or will PM you.

[evil_weevil]

wow, 10 years has flown. RIP.

[Shitbreak]

Thanks race6.3 and crack, very cool.

Mizone, if you can scan them, imageshack or similar should be able to host them (PM me and I'll try hosting them).

I was at that, I also remember that a shitload of the proceeds from it went missing... It's too long ago now to point fingers and the like, but not the done thing...

Fuck, didn't know that.

Time flies hey. I had the Giocattolo & a 993TT as my wallpaper when I was about 17. Hadn't heard what had happened when I walked into the lounge room at my folks place just to see it launching down the quarter & I'm thinking "fuck yeah! I love that car!". Then realised he wasn't going to pull it up shocking footage.

We were at the 4,6 & rotor nats in adelaide that day when we found out

RIP.

What did he do for coin?

Computers in the 90's. Good money back then!

Todd worked for my family for around 5 years, he then started his own business TMW Computers in Newmarket.

Clever bloke!

Cant believe its been a decade-time flies eh? Still remember flicking the news on that night to see the vision of the accident , a horrible thing to happen. First heard about him with his VS ute when it was supercharged (10-QIK?) and followed him from there with much interest. A pioneer for sure.

Anyone know what happened to the remains of the Gio?

[Rz]

doh.

[nitrane]

Anyone know what happened to the remains of the Gio?

Details are sketchy, but I believe the engine was sold off and the crashed body sat at a workshop (kkr?) for a number of years and was destroyed at his parent's request.
