Default Jack Brabham… still driving??

I saw the weirdest thing today and I it cant be right but it sure looked like it.

Driving along in Adelaide today (on a business trip) the taxi I was in pulls up at a set of lights ant an intersection I have no idea where but near the Holden factory I think. The car next to us is a tiny little thing that was a Subaru Sherpa. I didn’t even know those things still existed. Anyhow I looked across at the driver still kinda asleep from the flight and who did it look like but the spitting image of Jack Brabham the race driver. He glanced at me and all he saw was my face in total shock. Surely it couldn’t have been him but bugger me if it didn’t look like him.

He lives up in QLD I think & he still drives including a few historic meets etc. I'd think he'd have something flasher then a Sherpa tho he still has some flash cars & bikes.
I saw him at the Sydney Motor Show last year wandering around it was funny that one of Australia's greatest sportsmen was wandering around & nobody seemed to notice.

He could be here, he's probably driving in the Classic Adelaide mid November.
