Digitised from a VHS recording of the channel 9 broadcast. © Channel 9 and Filmwest 1979. I am uploading this for historical and archival purposes.

The Repco Reliability Trial was a 14 day event covering 19,000 kms around Australia between 5-19 August 1979 and was won by Peter Brock, Matt Philip and Noel Richards in a Holden Commodore. My Grandfather competed in this event in a Peugeot 504 (car 180) and came 80th.

The toughest rally I have ever seen, and I have attended many of the world rally championship rallies in the 70s as part of a film crew. I hate to think how much the factory teams must have spent on recceing and all the other costs associated with the event - but I admire the privateers most.

I was indeed fortunate to help man a major checkpoint on a sheep station about 100km west of Broken Hill. I was able to speak briefly to Brocky and Colin Bond when they passed through. Both gentlemen were gracious and good humored despite the rigors of their hurried travels. Good times and a great experience for a 19 year old car and racing enthusiast.

Well, I guess we lowered the average cost. All preparation and all running costs for our Civic

Great thing to watch. I had an old friend in No 40 (Bruce Hodgson). When he returned home to Griffith NSW he took me (16) for a run along the fire trails in the same car. He was an amazing old fart. I believe he took the same Falcon to Bathurst.

Very fitting, Brocky the Marlboro man. Those were the days.

On the finish podium, George Shephard said the drivers thought they could bring the cars home 1-2-3. His reply was "you do that and I'll drop me daks on the podium." Well they did and so did he. On the Podium, he whipped a pair of shorts from his waistband and dropped them on the floor!
