Caretaker Role

PAUL. I enjoyed the article on the Ardun Part II, My connection to Arduns over the years. My very first ever ride in a hot rod was in Barry Greer’s ’32 Roadster.

When he started building the “Ardun T”, I was his helper. I was about 15 or so at the time. I remember helping with the design and painting of the flamework at Martin Painters. I also remember getting run over by the T when we were pushing it into the shed. Got my foot caught under the rear wheel and breaking a few bones. Years later I got to know that very same engine in another form. It was in Martin Voss’ T-bucket. Circumstances were not nice then
