Colin Bond | Part 1 - Discovering Motorsport and the power of throttle control

Growing up on Sydney’s lower North Shore and marrying the girl across the road to learning the mechanical skills that would serve him so well in his career. Success at club level and how those fundamentals became a cornerstone of his achievements at the highest level. From Hill Climbs to Round Australia and forging a reputation that meant he was good in just about any discipline. There are memories of race tracks that are long gone and beating some international stars of the day on the way to wins at Bathurst, the Australian Rally Championship and more. Recorded on the Monday after an epic Bathurst 1000 Rusty sat in the lounge at the Hall of Famer’s house and the pair just chatted.  We don’t get to every car or race but you’ll enjoy the relaxed convo. The idea of finally getting Colin on Rusty’s Garage came about following the release of his fantastic new book ‘Full Tilt’ written by respected author and broadcaster John Smailes who joined us for a Feature Episode recently too.
