It was with great interest that I read the Spring issue no.6 of SA HotRods Magazine. I particularly enjoyed the article “The doyens of local rodding” which was written about the Corbett brothers.
In this article, my brother Peter Jardine is mentioned (who had a ‘33 Ford coupe with ‘59 Pontiac super chief V8 engine), Clive Brooker (‘28 Ford Roadster with a Buick V8), Dave Herbst (‘34 Ford coupe with Chevy V8) and the gang. Part of the Hot Rodders “gang” at that time was myself Eddie Jardine, (1933 Chrysler coupe on a ‘34 Ford chassis with a 283 cub Chevy V8 engine), Cedric Pearce (‘34 Ford coupe with an Olds mobile Rocket 88 engine), Eric Brockhoven, who now lives in Australia and is following the hot rod movement there (‘32 Ford Roadster Mercury V8), Hans Primich (‘34 Ford coupe and Chevy V8), Danny Searle (‘34 Ford coupe with reworked flathead Ford V8) and George Capazoria. These nine were all from Bedfordview.
Others Rodders of that time period from surrounding areas that we know of were Johny Van Schalkwijk (‘34 Chevy coupe with a Studebaker V8 engine), Colin Brocklebank (‘39 Chevy sedan with Chevy V8), Derek Smith who designed and built the Stilletto Chevy V8, Lappies Labushagne (‘33 Chevy coupe with a Studebaker V8), Bobby Baker (‘34 Chevy coupe with Studebaker V8) and Frank Rundel’s special.
