Michael Simcoe’s reward for designing this car was to be made GM’s Design Chief. Well, OK, a whole career of brilliant work maybe as well. But I think this grabbed their attention.

I love Mangustas. After dozens of little Matchbox cars, I was given a much larger and fancier Mangusta for a birthday or Xmas. It may have been a Corgi, not sure but it had opening doors and the rear hatches(?) also opened and it had proper rubber wheels with actual tread. So cool.

There is the the egalitarian, anti-establishment working class and Irish FU attitude that is the romantic narrative that we tell ourselves and the rest of the world. But there is also a strong nanny state…

Everyone from the PR agency handling this event drive one of these. But never in sand. And nowhere near Alice Springs. Kids to school-cafe-office-tennis-radio station-office-cafe-pick up kids-home.
