Trophy, what for

Yes, It is designed to collect dust on the mantle piece, but with it's unique design, the dust will slide down the sides so it can gather more dust and therefore defer the cleaning schedule out to every two years.

Is it the new Pick A Place prize?

Tis the Klingon M'ahchta trophy and is won by dispatching your oponant through disombowellment using a weapon resembling the trophy

I would like one of my wildboar tusks to look like that!

Now that brings back memories.

Somewhere, probably in my Dad's old brief case, there is an autographed photo of a young boy sitting on the wall of the Archibald Fountain with Andrew Cowan. The young boy is looking quite sheepish and feeling just a little uncomfortable.

From memory the lad was not fully sure how to respond. He felt like he should be in awe of this man sitting beside him, after all he had just won a race from London to Sydney in a Hillman Hunter, but really he was just confused as to how he should react, what he should say and what it all meant.

My Dad was a bit of a fan of Andrew Cowan even before the L - S Marathon the opportunity to look at his car and meet the man himself was more than he could have wished for. He is far more proud of that photo than the young boy was, but as the boy gets older that is changing and he is far more interested now than he was back then.
