Must be AI. As if NEW FM could afford a chopper! (or to even sponsor one). They’d only be able to afford the fluffy dice for the windscreen!

I can’t remember when they had this one, but it was someone else’s that was also used as a Westpac rescue chopper.

EDITL Found the group it came from, it was owned by Steve Bazics with callsign VH-MXW

A newer car with the combined Hoy/Cable News branding, and a motorbike with the Cable TV logo if you squint into it (I didn’t dare take a picture up close) 👀

Or could the van be carrying actors to/from filming locations? I can see dark green curtains through the van window.

I would not tell people that is you on the skateboard. You _wish_ you were Joey. 🤣

Now this would be more like you (and me admittedly, but for the sake of the joke, this is you)

Perhaps the local car dealer, who advertised on prime and had a penchant for racing was involved? 🙉

Could have been Tony or Tim Leahey.?

Would be a great promotional angle these days now that Triple M and Channel 7 are under the same ownership. If only Mazda still made the RX7.

Yeah, could’ve been the MMMazda RXSeven. 🤣

IIRC, Dick Johnson raced in cars with his 17 styled in the 7 logo at the time and other cars with the 7 number did have the 7 logo in place. There was a car that had the number 2 in the 2WS font with a smaller WS after it.

In any case, it’d be better than the Radiohead POS666

I know it’s Homer’s car, but I’d imagine Radiohead’s design skills extend the same as Homer Simpson’s does.

Came across this in an old Central Coast newspaper last week… didn’t see many regional radio stations get involved in sponsoring motorsport.

(from the ‘Central Coast Express’ March 1988).
