Colorado Fashion Week showcases regional fashion talent
Justice Kwasi Kwarteng might be the most polite person to ever work in the fashion business. When Saturday night's Colorado Fashion Week runway showcase at the Oxford Hotel was running late, he came out to apologize for the delay. The lights setup wasn't right and required some adjusting, he said, asking for patience.
The audience obliged, talking and sipping cocktails while they waited. A little more than an hour past the designated start time, and after further introductions by Kwarteng and emcee Lauren Whitney of News 4, models took to the ballroom floor.
What made Saturday's show worth waiting for is that in addition to having good manners, Kwarteng has an eye for finding and promoting new fashion designers. Several such talents were showcased during Colorado Fashion Week.

Dear Marlise, We wanted to write and thank-you for your personal attention to our needs during our recent purchase and sale of property in Tuross. Firstly your assistance in helping us to find a house after our disastrous fire in Beatty Crescent and your successful negotiations for the purchase of our current house. Your help in selling our property in Beatty Crescent was conducted in the same professional manner as our purchase of our current home. You carefully negotiated firstly our purchase in Beach Street and our land in Beatty Crescent. It wasn't the easiest period in our life during the recovery period after the fire, but your attention to detail in helping us to purchase our current house made our lives that much easier. We are grateful too for the attention to detail you exercised in selling the vacant land. We would also like to offer our thanks to the staff at Hallmark Real Estate Advisors for their support and efficiency in keeping us informed of the progress of our business with you. We would certainly offer our wholehearted endorsement in recommending Hallmark Real Estate Advisors to any purchaser wishing to purchase property in Tuross Head. With our best wishes, Paul and Josephine R.
My partner and I have had the pleasure of buying and selling with Marlise Woodford and we have found her to be the most professional real estate agent we have encountered in similar transactions. With regard to the management of our land sale, Marlise regularly informed us of any enquiries on the land and the current land market situation. Her approach to sales is underpinned by years of experience and deep knowledge and passion for the area. We are incredibly happy with the result of our sale.
Buying, selling and investing in property is a major venture. Buying in an unfamiliar location compounds the experience. We recently purchased a property in Tuross Head and were fortunate enough to engage Marlise Woodford from Hallmark Real Estate Advisors. After some 12 months of looking around the South Coast, we had dealt with many Real Estate Agents. So from historical and contemporary engagements with Real Estate Agents we have a good deal of experience and that is why we felt compelled to both acknowledge Marlise and recommend her to prospective clients. From our first contact, Marlise was engaging, obliging, professional and importantly, she really took the time to assess our needs. Marlise consistently demonstrated sound local and regional market knowledge in the properties that she recommended for viewing. When we selected a property, Marlise was pragmatic during the negotiation process in effectively and professionally representing the interests of the vendors and us as buyers. During subsequent transactions leading to settlement, Marlise was supportive, timely and accurate in any advice or assistance supplied. Marlise even went the extra distance with recommending a number of local trades people to quote and commence property enhancements. Over the years we have dealt with many Real Estate Agents and Marlise is by far the most committed, professional, responsive agent that we have dealt with. I have no hesitation in recommending her to my friends and any other potential buyer or seller. Moving into a new region was made so much easier by Marlise and her team at Hallmark and her support underpinned a successful transaction. Many thanks Marlise. Rob and Donna G

Sam Edward Gipson
I started my day off today with an 8:00 a.m appointment for a root canal with Dr. Aundra Murphy, and his Dental Assistant Courtney. Anyway, I can't say enough about the two of them, they were both very kind and extremely professional. Dr. Murphy made sure that I had absolutely no pain associated with my procedure and I didn't. I would suggest to anyone looking for a new dentist office to definitely give this a office a try. Dr. Randy Machen and his staff are all top notch folks and their facility and equipment are very up to date second to none.

Consult today with Dr. Scallion was AMAZING!!!! Loved my previous dentist but since my insurance isn't accepted there, tried out this clinic and I can only say WOW!!! Every single person there is great and they seem to work so well together you'd think they'd read each other's minds! I'm sure I won't spell her name right, but LaShay and Dr. Scallion were all that and a bag of chips!!! And I got to eat a crispy taco!!! Heck ya!
David Holman
Derek Harris
This was my 2nd visit and the 1st visit was great- this visit was okay- I thought the tooth that was bothering me would be pulled but that one just needed a filling but the other 2 did have to come out. I have an appt on friday 10-6 to finish the job. LittleRock Family Dentist is great- Dr. Murphy is my Dentist.

Jeremy Fairchild
I've known Dr. Machen for years. Great person, Dentist, and business owner. I've had several different things done at his office from teeth cleanings to a root canal. I wouldn't use a different dentist. My father recently had a problem and his dentist was out of town. Dr. Machen's team took care of him and now he and my step mom also use him as their primary dentist. They've taken care of my wife and multiple friends of mine and i've never heard a single bad comment. Looking for a new dentist, I'd highly suggest Dr. Machen and his team!
Melissa McCormick Hudson
Tempe always does a great job! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

Was referred to Dr. Burnett and Dr. Quick by our family dentist, Dr. Dan Ballanger, for oral surgery on my son, and I was pleased by our entire experience. With such a busy schedule, what I liked most was being able to schedule his wisdom teeth extraction on a Saturday. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Carmen Weddle
Loved my first experience here and will continue to come back. The dentist always makes me nervous but my dental hygienist, Clyde, and Dr. Scallion were super nice and informative, and the appointment with smoothly!

I have beento this clinic in the past but when I visited on Friday to my surprise the experience was completely different , I was vvery uncomfortable , the oral exam before when I had gone the exam was patient sitting upright in a chair not reclining, a if I was being examined for a pap smear of something, won't be going back.
Kelli Hall
We've been with LR Family Dental for over 10 years now, and I can not recommend them highly enough. Every dentist I've ever seen is just wonderful. Dr. Machen has seen my family thru so much, and has always had the patience of a saint when my kids were so terrified and small. Dr. Scallion has always done everything that was needed in short order and with such kindness. My newest bestie is Dr. Tramel, who resurfaced my son's teeth to absolute perfection. If you need work done, this is the place!
Mike Grober
Very professional and personal at the same time. My family has been going here for over 10 years. Nothing but good experiences to report.
Amy Gayle Reeves

They have a Great team here! Very nice and very Skilled in all their positions!!
Stacy Stane
This is the most amazing office I am terrified of the Dentist and they helped me work through my fear. Dr scallion is the best Dentist ever. He is comic relief as well. The hygienists are all sweet and make you feel so comfortable.
Kandis Neeture Bey
My husband needed an emergency extraction and I found this office online this morning. Within an hour we were in the office and by far this was the BEST dental office I have visited. Dr. Scallion not only extracted the tooth quickly, but provided some much needed laughter!! :-) We are moving our entire family to this clinic.
Kristi Sparks Hunter
Charity Buchanan
David Wrinkle
I had been using the same dentist for 14 years but then he got where I never saw him . He seemed to be out of the office except for one day a week. I liked my hygienist but the price of everything went up and I ended up with a young new dentist after my expensive veneers were complete. I just wasn't important to him and new Randy. I got exam cleaning on special for 25% less. And I got in quickly. Not 30 to 60 days later
Jennifer Massey Birch
I recently fell and chipped my tooth, and Dr. Scott Scallion fixed me up. Everyone was so nice and I appreciate it so much!!!!
Dustin Etheredge
I came to this practice with lots of dental issues. The professionalism, care, technology and personnel makes this a standout dental operation.

I drive from Norman, Oklahoma to visit this office. From the moment I first walked through the door, I felt very comfortable. Pleasant staff!! I have severe anxiety and I felt safe.

I just had a root canal done by Dr Aundra Murphy! There was no pain whatsoever and he made it a positive experience:) I highly recommend LR Family Dental!
Brittney Johnson
I have had my wisdom tooth extracted from Dr. Scallion. He does an excellent job. If you don't have the money to see an oral surgeon for wisdom tooth removal, go see him and he will take care of you! I am a highly satisfied patient and would recommend him to anyone looking for a good dentist.
Karen Colvin Hatcher
Tommy Mosley
Brandy Zorn-Baumer
Milinda Houlette
I had problems for years in finding a dentist that would do corrective work for an epileptic patient. Most dentists would only cleanse my teeth, and nothing more. Little Rock Dental has not only been willing to provide major dental work for me, they have assisted when one of my front teeth were shattered on a weekend. I have continued to use them, even though it's a three hour drive to get there now.
Jessica Barringer-Cherry
The staff is amazing! They are very nice and are thorough on making sure you're comfortable and understand what the process is for your visit. I HIGHLY recommend the Little Rock Family Dental Care!
Veronica Livers-Worley
Great. ..very open, honest and gives you options and information. Everyone was nice and pleasant. I am over 45 and get anxiety issues when I have to go to the dentist, but they made me feel very calm and comfortable. Highly recommend them.
Daniel R. Solis

Customized Solutions for Complex Project Management
The Three Generations Study is a longitudinal follow-up study of breast cancer and other diseases in women led by PHI's Child Health and Development Studies (CHDS). The partnership between CHDS and PHI's Survey Research Group (SRG) originated with telephone interviews of the daughters of the original participants.
After observing the interview process, SRG proposed and built a customized Participant Relationship Management System, which allows interviewers to build personalized connections with the participants and their children through attentive relationship management. SRG also developed a customized web interview to be completed on computer, tablet, or smartphone. Data collected through this web survey is housed directly on SRG servers, ensuring full security and control over confidential data. As part of the in-home visit portion of the study, SRG created an iPad solution which enabled shared calendars between the scheduling staff and the examiners, while the custom software allowed examiners to retrieve participant contact information, automatically linking them to GPS mapping software.
Evaluating Michigan's Produce for Pantries Program
The Michigan Produce for Pantries program encourages home and community gardeners to plant, grow and share produce with food pantries in their neighborhoods—currently providing over 5,000 food pantry clients with access to homegrown fresh fruits and veggies, and helping to connect them with SNAP-Ed resources and trainings from the Michigan Harvest of the Month program.
In their evaluation, PHI's Survey Research Group found that food bank clients reportedly loved Produce for Pantries, especially the taste testing and interactions with the nutrition educators. Most felt confident they could prepare the fruits and vegetables they received from the emergency food distribution sites at home, and eighty-nine percent of clients felt very sure they could prepare the produce they took home in a way that their family would eat and enjoy.
Survey Research Group is currently evaluating the effects of the Produce for Pantries program on fruit and vegetable intake and assessing policy, systems, and environmental change strategies to implement at emergency food distribution sites.
Evaluating the Berkeley Soda Tax
When Berkeley, CA became the first city in the U.S. to pass a significant excise tax on sugary drinks in 2014, PHI was hired to evaluate its impact. Lynn Silver, PHI's senior advisor on chronic disease and former assistant health commissioner in New York City, worked with PHI's Survey Research Group and the University of North Carolina to evaluate the tax's impact on consumption patterns and prices. Their results showed that the $0.01 per ounce soda tax is working as intended: the fee was passed on to the retail price of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) in large and small chain supermarkets and gas stations. View the preliminary findings.
In 2017, PHI and the University of North Carolina completed a second evaluation of the tax. Published in PLOS Medicine, the largest-to-date evaluation looked at the first 12 months of the tax's implementation, and showed a 9.6% drop in sugar-sweetened beverage purchases. Meanwhile, the sales of untaxed healthier beverages rose significantly, by 3.5%—and sales of water rose by 15.6%. The study found no negative impact on store revenue or consumer grocery bills, and the tax helped the city raise $1,416,973 for nutrition and obesity prevention activities in schools, childcare and other community settings. Read the study.
An additional PHI analysis found that a year and a half after passage of the tax, food sector sales tax revenue rose by 15% in the city, and 469 new food sector jobs were created—an increase of 7.2%. Learn more.
Identifying the Prevalence of ACEs
PHI's Survey Research Group conducted a survey of nearly 28,000 California residents, leading to shocking revelations that one out of five California adults with children living in their homes were beaten, kicked or physically abused when they were children, and one in ten were sexually abused. This data has fed into a larger campaign for public health organizations around the country to begin treating the long-lasting effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) as an urgent public health crisis.
Using the data, PHI, LiveStories, and The Center for Youth Wellness created an interactive data tool that displays county and state-wide data about the pervasiveness of ACEs alongside resources and words of wisdom from thought leaders. Facilitated by PHI's new data and persuasive storytelling, the field is shifting its understanding of how to treat and understand the generational effects of trauma and events experienced in childhood.

Sensitive Topics and Hard-to-Reach Populations
In 2012, the County of Orange Health Care Agency, Alcohol and Drug Education Prevention Team, contracted with Survey Research Group (SRG) to conduct the Orange County Alcohol and Other Drugs Study, a random-digit dial survey of adults in Orange County funded by the County of Orange Health Care Agency and conducted every ten years. SRG was responsible for survey instrument translation in Spanish and Vietnamese, data collection, data cleaning, and creating weights using iterative proportional fitting techniques (raking).
Tracking Smoking Rates Over the Decades
PHI's Survey Research Group collected important data documenting tobacco use from 1987 to present, helping to track and inform prevention efforts.
Their research found that only 11.9 percent of the state's adults smoked in 2010, making California one of only two states to reach the federal Healthy People 2020 target of reducing the percentage of adults who smoke to 12 percent.

I made this for the Halloween dessert contest at work and my co-workers loved it, received "Tastiest" dessert award.
Oct 28, 2014
My family totally loved this cake. I took pictures of my daughter and I through out the process and we had so much fun all the way through the last bite. It turned out looking just like the picture and we have only had 1 pumpkin slide off the top otherwise we had peaks and valleys for 2 days. It's definitely more than 12 servings we actually got about 28 out of it as we shared with friends and we are a family of 6 and had some 2 days in a row. Thank you Taste of Home Test Kitchen. This is a winner according to my family.

You should freeze the cake and use cream cheese frosting.
Oct 29, 2012
Frustrating...could not get the egg white mixture to have stiff peaks. Could be the weather (?) or that I didn't have a candy thermometer. Made it a cake in a 9 x 13 dish. More trouble to make than it was worth.
Oct 29, 2012
The cake had great flavor but I didn't love the maple frosting.
Oct 18, 2012
I'm going to try making this recipe, but I'll do it the way my Mom would have made it: like a jelly roll. Since it's nice and thin, I'm going to spread the frosting on the cake without cutting it into pieces. Then just roll it up! Hopefully it will work :)
Oct 15, 2012
This cake had a very nice taste and was moist. I followed the directions and took it to a picnic 5 minutes away and by the time I arrived it had slid apart and was a mess and impossible to straighten. I wish I had read the reviews before I made it. The icing was very good and worth the time it took to make it. I might make it again but not in layers but one layer in a 9x13 pan.
Feb 13, 2011
Made this for a fall birthday. Delicious cake, although I make cream cheese frosting instead of the recipe's icing. It was a hit at the party. Also easy way to decorate.
Nov 6, 2010
Everything went fine until I put the frosting on the Torte. What a mess! Slip sliding away! Toothpicks all over! The cake is nice and moist but could hardly taste the pumpkin in it. It tasted more like a spice cake than anything. For all my effort I was very disappointed. 15 minutes of beating the frosting was not worth the effort.
Nov 3, 2010
I agree, the cake was good but would do a cream cheese frosting next time. My cake slid all around too!

The Cooper BMW was run by its first owner and builder (with outside help, I think the story of this is on TNF somewhere) Jim Madsen at Coonabarabran speed trials in 1957 (photo below). A 1956 Mark X Cooper with blown BMW engine originally 590cc but increased later. A very good, well illustrated article on the car is in SCW August 1957. This article and the Winser 1957 annual both quote the chassis number as 14, though I note Blanden has it as 16 in the 2004 book (for what that is worth...).
Or Carrathool? Or more likely, Baradine...
Not Lake Ayre.
Ray, perhaps the Jack Forrest connection you were thinking of was that the BMW engine came from a Jack Forrest-owned R69S production racing bike.

Madsen later sold the car tp Phil Boot.

This article indicates that Les Taylor was the last Queensland owner of the former Lowe-Lane Special. AMS February 1948 has a report on the Queensland Championship Hill Climb at Whites Hill on January 24, 1948. One of the competitors was Clem Warburton (Lowe-Lane 500 Special). So the car was still known by that name in Queensland.
Some more details on the car that seems to have been the basis of the Warburton:-
This was from AMR #3 - 1953 (Thanks cooper997 !).
The report also says "Warburton's 500cc car, which he recently acquired in Melbourne, put up a good run of 37 seconds and surprised everyone including probably Clem".
So, if Clem Warburton was the first Queensland owner of the Lowe Lane Special, and Les Taylor the last, and if we believe the Winser annual piece then it also had several other Queensland owners bewtween these two. Ray Bell posted that Barrie Watt said it was Stan Eastwood's car; perhaps he was one of the 'in-between' owners.
I wonder, on what evidence, does the 500 club website in UK base its being called the 'Warburton'? Certainly, the AMS reporter in January 1948 called it the Lowe-Lane Special in Warburton's ownership.

Rob Saward
the 500 Owners website quotes:
"Please tell us more of Clem Warburton and Brian Chatterton's special if you can. It appears to be based on an Austin Seven chassis and may have had a Douglas engine."
which to me would suggest that not much is known about this car (in the UK by the 500 OA) and as quoted at the top of the Marques page "These pages are a living archive of the cars and the people who built and raced them" any information you would be able to supply would I am sure be welcomed by the 500 OA and would no doubt improve the quality of the information on this resource.

And still has it.
Posted 07 June 2013 - 10:02
Perhaps a copy built while the "Lowe-Lane" was in the shed ?.
Posted 07 June 2013 - 11:25
I have found the AMS writeups on both the Lowe-Lane 500 (October 1947)and the Warburton 500 (November 1947). These were definitely different cars, the Lowe-Lane being Ariel Red Hunter powered and the Warburton being IoM Douglas powered. At that stage, neither car had a body.
So the "Warburton" is not the "Lowe-Lane" Special then Ray ?.
Perhaps a copy built while the "Lowe-Lane" was in the shed ?.
The report on the Warburton mentions that Clem Warburton had visited Melbourne since the previous month's report (so in late October or early November 1947), and tends to fit the premise that while in Melbourne on holidays, he purchased the Lowe-Lane. Two months later, he definitely owned the Lowe-Lane and competed in it at Whites Hill in Queensland. There is no solid evidence either way, but my suspicion is that the Lowe-Lane still did not have a body on that occasion.
The car in the Connie Jordan photo is clearly the Lowe-Lane; the Ford 10 axles, wheels etc are evident and identical to those in the AMS photo and description of the Lowe-Lane. Clem Warburton was the Lowe-Lane's first QLD owner, and may well have built the body seen in Connie Jordan's photo, and clearly the same nose panel and front end is seen in the later Les Taylor photo when the car was entered as the Taylor Special.
I think that confusion has been caused by the fact that Clem Warburton (with Brian Chatterton) built their own car, and then a mere months later was competing in his home state with a a 500cc car. The fact this was NOT the car he and Chatterton built was probably not evident unless you had all these magazine reports in front of you.
I have not yet done any searching in AMS for later evidence of the Warburton, and I dont have that many early ones in my collection (no Coopers...), though I do have photocopies of most of the AMS articles on 500cc cars.
I will post here the AMS photo of the Warburton in its original form (from a photocopy so not that good).
Now we jump to Loose Fillings magazine #2a, 1999, and Queensland correspondent John Holmes notes " Probably the first air-cooled 500cc type car in Queensland was Clem Warburton's self-built 'D-Wagon' powered by an IoM Douglas and later an ES2 Norton. The car was bought by the LPS boys -Lewis, Pitt and Swinburne- and was gracefully towed behind Charlie Swinburne's MGTC. Warburton then bought the Lowe-Lane special from Bill Lowe and Bob Lane in Melbourne, and later sold it to Connie Jordan, who fitted it with a wing. Later owners were Dud Wiles, Vic Johnson and Les Taylor, who advertised it for sale in June 1950 for 100 pounds less engine and gearbox, offering a choice of engines and gearboxes for a further 35 pounds".
This is interesting on several levels.
1. The Lowe-Lane was owned by Connie Jordan, making it perhaps likely the subject photo was taken by her whilst it was in her ownership. This car was definitley the Lowe-Lane, and not the Warburton.
2. The photo and writeup in the Winser Motor Racing Annual shows the same car and also mentions that Taylor had several different engines available for the car (of course Holmes may have obtained his information from this source so it is not necessarily confirmation).
3. Mention of the car being fitted with a wing by Connie tends to fit her Qantas engineering employement. Photo needed! She would have had access to the required aluminium panel bending equipment and expertise, so it is not impossible the body was built in the Qantas workshop.
I think there is enough in this to show that the subject photo is the Lowe-Lane Special, probably when owned by Connie Jordan, and that the photo on UK 500 club site is in fact the Lowe-Lane 500 and not the Warburton.
Next step is to find the advert mentioned by John in June 1950 (If it was in AMS I will have it). If Ray is correct and Stan Eastwood still has the car, the ownership chain for the Lowe-Lane would appear to be Bill Lowe/Bob Lane to Clem Warburton to Connie Jordan to Dud Wiles to Vic Johnson to Les Taylor to Stan Eastwood.

I am currently going through my AMS from 1948 onwards, but I dont have every edition and it takes a while because I get side tracked.... I am finding very few Queensland reports - it appears AMS did not have a regular Qld correspondent at that time, so not all meetings were being reported.
Can anyone refer me to photographs of the "winged 500", when Connie Jordan owned it and any reference to her competing in this car ?.
A search of Qld newspapers online is also needed, but there are only 48 hours in a day. Tony, if you have the time, searches for Connie Jordan and each of the Qld race venues at
might bring reward.
I think I have 10-year old contact details for John Holmes somewhere, so will look for them too.

"The "500" Special raced in partnership by Miss Jordan and Dud Wiles has been lightened since being raced by Clem Warburton, the body rebuilt, and the Ariel Red Hunter engine has been "hotted up"."
The clues are the article was written by Les Vowles, it was just before Chas Whatmore was to use his Studebaker for the last time at White's hillclimb as he was going to concentrate on the AGP to be held in June (1949).
There is also a confirmation that QANTAS "assisted" in the manufacture of cycle guards for the M.G.TA, so going a step further with a wing for the 500 is entirely possible.
I have done quite a lot of Trove searching on Connie, but will now have to include 500 in the key search too.
I think someone I know will have contact details for John Holmes (if we are talking about the Toowoomba JH ?).

The event report in 3/49 AMS, although not stated, will most likely have been submitted by Les Vowles. There being basic information shared in the 2 pieces.
Within the report Dud Wiles is mentioned as the only competitor in Class I and making his first appearance in motor sport. Reference is also made to him driving the ex Low(sic)-Lane - Clem Warburton 500. It had been lightened considerably and a new Ariel motor installed and Ford 10 brakes modified. It also mentions how it had briefly rained around 4pm. There isn't any mention of Connie. The report also mentions the next event would be in July.
It should probably be mentioned that Bill Lowe will most likely be the same one, who imported the Lombard's into Australia circa 1930. Then as W H Lowe & Co imported Ferraris throughout the 50's, 60's & 70's. Also Lancia's too at one stage. Bob Lane will I'm guessing be part of Melbourne's Lanes Motors family.

I agree with the separate car piece, but that leaves the question - if the Lowe-Lane is running (repeatedly) a Red Hunter single, what's that exhaust on the RHS of the Connie Jordan photo? It also appears in the Warburton-Goodrick photo of the same car.
I have found the AMS writeups on both the Lowe-Lane 500 (October 1947)and the Warburton 500 (November 1947). These were definitely different cars, the Lowe-Lane being Ariel Red Hunter powered and the Warburton being IoM Douglas powered. At that stage, neither car had a body.

I am confused by this because to my eyes both the Connie Jordan photo and the Warburton-Goodrick photo on the 500 website show an exhaust pipe on the LHS. The AMS October 1947 photo of the Low-Lane however does show an exhaust on the RHS of the Ariel motor. I suspect the answer is fairly simple - the engine is a c1933-36 Red Hunter (open valve with the large plated support plate on timing side, whereas c1937 and later engines had enclosed valves), and unless my previous life has misled me, most (all?) of these had two port heads, and so it is very simple to have the single exhaust pipe on whatever side you want, with a blanking plate on the other. Tuners lore says they went better with one pipe anyway, to do with exhaust gas velocity. Most sporting singles of the early to mid 30s had twin ports but it was a styling thing only and the serious racing makes never did it with two-valve heads, only with four valve heads like Rudge.
An important point now (I avoided saying it before, but just so it is clear) the photo labelled as Warburton on the 500 website is not that at all and is in fact the Low-Lane, which is not represented on the website.
When you look at the Warburton-Chatterton photo from AMS it is easy to see why Clem Warbuton would have purchased the Low-Lane when he saw it in Melbourne; it has a stronger chassis, much lower C of G and a much easier to work on engine than his own car. The Warburton-Chatterton would have flexed badly and handled poorly due to its inherent design problems. Perhaps design is not the right word here - many of these specials were not designed, they were just built!

Having said that, a deeper search has, as you suggested, confirmed that some early models ran twin port, with double exhausts. Furthermore, the downpipes are angles apart rather than parallel, which matches the downpipe we see in the image. I would presume then that there is a matching pipe on the far side of the car.
Posted 15 June 2013 - 15:52
"Only competitor in class 'I', Dud Wiles, drove the ex-Low-Lane-Clem Warburton 500 with great dash, taking each corner nicely and producing changes from the Norton gearbox which made it sound like a preselector. His last run of 51.4 took the class 'I' record, a most creditable performance on Dud's first appearance in motor sport. The car has been lightened considerably, a new RH Ariel motor installed and the Ford 10 braking modified to give better compensation."
The results list shows:
D.Wiles (Jordan Wiles 500) 51.4
A few things arise:
1. Confirms what John Holmes said in the Loose Fillings notes regarding Connie Jordan and Dud Wiles having joint ownership of the car.
2. Confirms Jordan and Wiles as next owners of the car after Clem Warburton.
3. Indicates that considerable work had been done on the car since Warburton's ownership. The Warburton-Goodrick photo on the 500 web site shows the fuel tank as a motorcycle tank above the engine, but the Jordan photo shows a purpose-built tank (very much in the Cooper style), likely built as part of that work done.
4. Confirms what we have already worked out, that this was the Low-Lane Special and tends to indicate that it was known by that name in Queensland, though the fact that it was (apparently) entered as the Jordan Wiles 500 shows how easily name changes occurred. Can we rule out that this car was known as the Warburton 500 during his ownership of it? Probably not! Remember it was also later called the Taylor.
So it is the Low-Lane 500 (aka Jordan Wiles 500 and Taylor 500, and possibly Warburton 500), not to be confused with the Warburton-Chatterton Special.

"CLEM WARBURTON, the king of the "500" enthusiasts in Queensland, has managed to produce some more "horses" from the Red Hunter Ariel motor that powers his special, and has lightened the car by 40lb., bringing the weight to approximately 500lb., the minimum allowed for 500 c.c. cars. Warburton handled this special most expertly at practice, and his lap times for the circuit were equal to those of many of the big cars. He clocked 82 m.p.h. in the Lowood straight."

Rob as the originator of this thread my thoughts were to include all Motorbike Powered cars into one thread, if this requires a name change that is OK with.
Is it the aim of your thread to only cover 500/1000 cc Motor Bike type cars or also to include Coopers powered by Car motors as well.

Thanks Stephen for clearing this up - I have been through and edited my posts to correct the spelling to Low-Lane. Shows how careful we have to be about making assumptions!
A bit of addition and clarification on the Low-Lane 500 from the November 2nd, 1947 Rob Roy Hillclimb #14 programme.

Just back from this year's Motorclassica at Melbourne's historic Exhibition Building. Great selection of cars to suit most tastes, but of interest to this thread is the Hunt 500 with Vincent HRD fitted. going to auction tomorrow at the event. Guiding price is pretty serious for a motor bike engined special - $62500 to $70000.

Is that the Ash Marshall of first 200 mph quarter mile drag fame?

I think you could be right Lynton, but I've never been one for following drag racing.
A bit of digging and I think the 2 photos shown above from the 25/3/53 issue of The Motor feature, were possibly taken at the 15/11/52 Parramatta Park and 25/10/52 King Edward Park, Newcastle meetings. The Marwyn driver is probably Noel Barnes.

What is known about the Marwyn Special, very destintive wheels on the car.
Looks like Tamworth on the rear cowling...and a B in wrought iron on the nose...
Posted 08 August 2014 - 07:52
Info is available on the The 500 Owners Association site, wonder if the "B" stands for BARNES, where did Noel Barnes come from.
Posted 08 August 2014 - 21:28
He was very much tied to MGs, but you never know. I should check through those old pics I have.
Posted 08 August 2014 - 23:13
The Marshall was Bob Joass' second 500, inspired by Ron Tauranac's RALT, with transverse leaf and wishbone suspension at the front and a swing axle to the rear. Engine and gearbox came from a Triumph Tiger. Bob ran out of money before completing the project which was taken over by Ashton Marshall.

The Marwyn is a 1948 body type, so I doubt it was new to Barnes (who it has to be). I understand the car is still in the family.
Posted 12 August 2014 - 20:06
Rich, you would have to suggest the possibility of it being the ex-Evelyn Kindersley Pullibank Marwyn - based on the very small number of Marwyns and the wheels?

Richard who is Evelyn Kindersley Pullbank, the body style & wheels suggest that it is a 1949 model?????
Posted 13 August 2014 - 12:52
I spent far too long convincing myself that they were the same wheels, then that they weren't. Pip Pullibank's, on the 1948 car he drove, seem to have a "Yorkshire Rose" 5-hole pattern, and I can't convince myself that the Noel Barnes car has the same pattern. Having said that, the Pullibank car is the only one I've seen that isn't running wires, multispokes or Topolino-like disks. There's nothing remotely close in my files. I asked Duncan Rabagliati for comment, but his "cool" didn't really advance the discussion. The Marwyn story has just too many holes with some cars never delivered, and at least two not making it past their first run (Don Truman rebuilt his, but the other chap... well, couldn't), and I'm not aware of anyone suitably expert.
Pip Pullibank had a few runs in a Marwyn in 1948, in the UK, one image is http://www.500race.o...ques/Marwyn.htm - note the wheels, but the rear bodywork is missing from this car.. The 1949 car (all of them, at least ex-factory) had a pointier nose, and large vents in the high engine cover. It also has rounded panniers compared with the flat sides of the 1948 car (and the Barnes car)

A farewell scattershot
Yep. Today is my last day as the luckiest person at One News Plaza. The prospect of my job change shocked Chef Todd but did not render him speechless, as hoped. Then again, nothing has ever silenced him. "Dude, are you sure about this?" Chef sputtered. "You're leaving the best job in Illinois." ... Well, call me crazy but I am excited about the future. Effective today, my wife, Farmers State Bank and I are proud owners of Heartland Outdoors, the popular statewide magazine started 24 years ago by Bill and Linda Love of Mapleton. Since Bill's death three years ago, Linda has shouldered the entire operation. She's eager for a break. We're eager for a change. Starting in October you can find me on the pages of that magazine and at heartlandoutdoors.com. ... That said, I also have a column on inspiring deer hunter Drew Burton ready for this Sunday's Journal Star.
What are my most vivid memories from 12 years of losing cell phones, wrecking cameras and soaking notebooks while on the job? ... Duck hunting with The Farmer and living off his wife's muffins. ... Catching peacocks, shocking fish, shooting deer and missing turkeys with Flathead. ... Hunting pheasants under a swingset in an Iowa park as Springer chortled, "This is wrong." ... Big Knobs referring to me as "Hey you fat little bastard." ... A breathless call from former reporter Mike Smothers telling me he was in Springdale Cemetery searching for a midget who had seen a mountain lion. I didn't have the heart to tell Smothers that from a midget's perspective, a tabby cat probably looked like a cougar. ... Watching a little red-headed chicken hatch that turned out to be the clucking image of Joe Bates, the heart and soul of the Journal Star sports department. ... Hunting teal with the Head Worm and meeting a grumpy Stanley Briney in the dark at the break in Hate Levee. ... Trying to make sense of Our Neighbor Ash, whose unique presence is truly missed.
Into every reporter's life come compelling stories. Some are coincidence, like the time my brother and I were hunting pheasants near Aberdeen, S.D., just 9 miles north of the field where Payne Stewart and Peorian Bruce Bourland died in a tragic plane crash. I can still see the crazed look on the face of cattle in that field. ... Some stories are objects of creation, like the Carp Armada. That motley crew consisted of Photo Joe (the one-legged carp snagger from South Pekin), Chef Todd, Flathead and a few other rascals with jonboats who escorted an international group of biologists on the Illinois River to see leaping Asian carp. As Dr. Woo said, "Oh, too many fish. Too many fish." ... Ironically, one of my favorite assignments was indoors. I spent two March weekends with Peoria High hoops team during the Class AA tournament. Obviously there was talent on the roster of those back-to-back champs. There were also characters whose antics still make me laugh. Thanks to Chuck Buescher and Kirk Wessler for that. In homage to Buescher I stamp my feet periodically when coaching biddyball. If only I could recruit as well as Bish we would dominate in Elmwood.
Obviously I owe thanks to anyone who read a word my fingers typed. But if any reader deserves extra credit, it's Jim Lierle of Marquette Heights. Many is the morning Jim called from the factory to leave an encouraging message. Jim, your kind words were always appreciated. ... So were the many calls, e-mails and letters that flooded in after the passing of my Labrador retriever Buck. No story of mine touched a nerve so deeply. ... I'm also indebted to Minister Morris for the long hours he spent tracking down fishing reports. ... Now is also a good time for apologies. Sorry to youngster Matt Zehr of Eureka for forgetting to send you a jug of Hoss's Hawg Bait dipbait. The package is finally in the mail. ... Sorry to Dave Reynolds, who I pestered and interrupted endlessly for these past 12 years. ... Sorry to anybody gullible enough to vote for that joke Rod Blagojevich. ... Sorry to anybody real important (or wealthy) who I forgot to mention. ... Sorry finally to the anti-hunters who spend so much of their lives fixated on a sad, misguided cause.
More memories? Sure. Just for you. ... Shaking hands with The Duck Commander, who said my beard made me look like Yasser Arafat. ... Catching 6-pound bass with Gordon Inskeep. ... Fishing with Fergie. ... Getting fired after 18 enjoyable weeks on the radio. ... Taking women's golf scores. ... Seeing 100 deer heads staring across the gym floor at Elmwood High School last spring. We promise bigger and better things for the next Elmwood All Outdoors Show on March 5-6, 2011. ... Scouting geese with a tipsy Dave Beam in North Dakota as he steered the truck into fields without slowing. ... Settling bar bets. ... Chasing quail with Mace Reardon. ... Hearing Roger Cox tell stories. ... Trading verbal jabs with Stew. ... Driving to Peoria from the east and marveling at how lucky we are to live or work in such a scenic river city.
So what am I going to do with my free time? Run for city council in my adopted home of Elmwood. If not for all the tornadoes, Elmwood would be the perfect place to raise a family. Being able to stay closer to home and my three boys is one reason for my career change. ... More immediately I hope to catch crappie and to shoot teal. Fall fishing is set to explode and the blue-winged migration heated up just in time. Sunday's end to teal season should be good, as the latest survey showed 34,630 bluewings along the Illinois River compared to the average of 8,831. ... Beyond that I plan to read the paper each morning. Newspapers have been my life since I started delivering The Buffalo News as a 10-year-old. Moving from the city to join the Journal Star's proud outdoor tradition is so far the high point of my working life. I'm proud to be mentioned with former scribes Jack Ehresman and Howard Kenny. And like you, I'm eager to read as the paper carries on that tradition.Story and comments
September 15: PIcture of the Day
Any day now. The leaves are turning. The corn is going out. Soon the arrows and crossbow bolts can be launched at real critters.
But be patient. The best time of year is almost here.Story and comments
September 14: Picture of the Day
The corn is dry and headed to the bins.
In the past few days combines have been everywhere. And they were already pretty busy prior to that.
Through Monday more than 30 percent was out statewide. I'm guessing by next Monday that total will be closer to 50 percent unless the rains finally materialize. And bow season is still two weeks away. Wow.Story and comments
Grizzly attacks bow hunter
Here's an Associated Press story from Montana to ponder as you gear up for our opening day of bow season.
Grizzly attacks Montana bowhunter
BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) - Wildlife officials say a grizzly bear attacked a bow hunter in the southern Gravelly Mountains near Ennis over the weekend.
Sam Sheppard, a game warden with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, said the Sunday morning attack left Matt Menge of Bozeman with a broken right forearm and large cuts to the head. The warden described the attack as fast and sudden.
"This is just something that has the potential to happen when people archery hunt in those areas with a resident grizzly bear population," he told the Bozeman Daily Chronicle. "You're stealthing along, cammo-ed up, being extremely quiet and you just bump into them."
Sheppard said Menge was hunting near the west fork of the Madison River south of Ennis. The man, who had driven up to the area with a friend, was traveling back to his truck alone when the attack happened and couldn't reach for his bear spray in time.
Sheppard said no management action is planned for t he bear.
"It's bears doing what bears do when they are surprised and archery hunters doing what archery hunters do," he said.
Story and comments
September 13: Picture of the Day
The Lampe monarch factory is about ready to close down. And just in time. We are running out of milkweed in the neighborhood. Those little caterpillars can sure eat.
And we've gone through plenty of milkweed this summer. But from a high point of 10 chrysalises hanging and 20 little caterpillars crawling in the butterfly aquarium, we've fluttered down to a more manageable number.
I say we, but truth is this is all my wife's project. Every now and then I hold the lid while she cleans out the aquarium. But that's about my only contribution.
Even so, I do like releasing the monarchs. There's something very satisfying about raising a monarch from a tiny egg to the point where it can fly away.
Sometime tomorrow, someone in the family will get a chance to release the butterfly pictured above still in its chrysalis.
After that we've got about another 9 or 10 more to release. Then we'll have to wait until next summer for their descendants to return.Story and comments

Hair-raising Legacy
Hairston name dates back to Negro Leagues
By Ken Mandel
Jerry Hairston Jr.'s career record
Jerry Hairston Sr.'s career record
Sam Hairston's Major League stats
Last season, Jerry Hairston Jr. hit .233, but managed to steal 29 bases for the Orioles.
Jerry Hairston Jr.'s relatively short journey through the minors totaled 735 at-bats before his six-game, seven at-bat debut with the Baltimore Orioles at the end of the 1998 season.
Grandfather Sam Hairston's journey took considerably longer, beginning in Birmingham, Alabama with the Black Barons of the Negro Leagues, three years before Jackie Robinson shattered baseball's color barrier. Hairston eventually played in the Majors, the first African-American to play for the Chicago White Sox in 1951.
Jerry Jr. proudly continues the Hairston legacy, in Babe Ruth's birthplace, manning second base for the Orioles. One of three, third-generation baseball families in the Majors, Junior is the sole one with direct Negro League ties. A feared catcher, Sam won the Negro American League's Triple Crown in 1950, hitting .424 with 17 home runs and 71 RBIs in a 70-game season.
"My family was the first black family to have two generations and we're the only black family to have three," said Junior. "That really kind of shakes me knowing that I'm the last link (as of now) to the Negro Leagues. That's why I play so hard.
"I try to respect players, respect the opponent and respect the game because that's what it's about. I've been very fortunate to have great people around me in the course of my life."

Jimmy Rollins and Juan Pierre accepted Legacy Awards last week from the employees at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum.
The motives
Branch Rickey had several reasons for signing Jackie Robinson to a pro contract with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Historian Steve Goldman has the details.
Segregated Baseball: A Kaleidoscopic review
While the very existence of the Negro Leagues was necessary because of the racial divides in the United States, black baseball not only survived -- it excelled.
Traveling show
Barnstorming was common place in the Negro Leagues.
Great people like his grandfather -- who at age 77, hit fungos to the then-college sophomore, and pronounced him "ready to go" -- and his father, Jerry Hairston Sr., who carried Sam's torch for 14 Major League seasons, mostly with the White Sox. He instilled their grandfather's wisdom in Junior and his brother Scott Hairston, a recent Arizona Diamondbacks draftee.
"He had a major influence on me," said the 25-year-old Junior of his grandfather. "All his children -- the three boys he had -- played professional baseball, and two of them played in the Majors. He was influential in their lives and taught them the value of hard work. Every male in his family played professional baseball."
Sam's Major League career as the first African-American member of the White Sox spanned four games and five at-bats, fewer than Junior had in his September 1998 call-up. Sam doubled in his first at-bat to drive in two runs, despite having to borrow a bat from Cuban great Minnie Minoso, at the time the other non-White White Sox.
Sam played nine more seasons in the minors, including stops in Colorado Springs, Sacramento, Calif., San Antonio, Texas and Charleston, S.C., and spent some winters in Venezuela. Before that, he played for two Negro League teams -- the Indianapolis Clowns and Birmingham Black Barons, where in the late 40s he helped teach a young rookie named Willie Mays some tricks.
Junior debuted almost a year after Sam died, though his grandfather saw him work out before the draft, and had glowing reviews. Now that Junior's in the bigs, does he feel he owes his grandfather anything?
"If I were to say that in his presence he'd be upset," he said quickly. "He'd say, 'You don't owe me anything. You grew up a good person to carry the Hairston name and that's your main priority.' ... As far as being a ballplayer, I want to give myself every opportunity to be the best player that I can be. In that aspect I feel I owe him something.
"That's what I'm trying to do. My grandfather didn't really have the opportunity I have. I'm not the most talented player in the Major Leagues. I work hard and I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna work until it kills me. I know hard work pays off. I love baseball. It has been great for my family."
According to Senior, it would be nice if his son could continue the tradition in Chicago, like he did, though he wants Junior to be happy.
"I wanted to get drafted by the White Sox," said Senior. "I really lived out a dream because my dad wasn't able to complete his Major League career and a lot of that was due to being born too soon. He definitely was a great player. I was able to take the torch a little bit further. He was really proud of that and I was proud to be in that position because I knew he got a big kick out it."
Senior mainly remembers hearing stories of his father's successes and failures. He recalled going to games with his mother and having to sit in the left-field bleachers -- the "blacks only" section.
"My mother didn't like to go to games often," Senior said. "That was why."
Stories like that, even after Robinson broke through, would seem enough to make the many players who couldn't compete angry and bitter. Sam Hairston didn't fit that bill.
"If you were a player in the Negro Leagues you could have been a very bitter man, but a lot of them aren't," said Junior. "My grandfather was never bitter. My grandfather should've received a lot more things in his life, but he was never bitter. He had nothing but great things to say about the great game of baseball.
"There were so many great players in the Negro Leagues. It isn't just the Jackie Robinsons and the Satchel Paiges; Jackie Robinson wasn't the best player in the Negro Leagues at that time and Jackie was the first to admit that. There were so many great players that played in that league and I'm so proud that my grandfather was a part of that."
And for his part, for every groundball Junior fires to first, for every third strike he flails at, for every game-winning double he pokes off the left-field wall, his grandfather lives on.
"I have a great father, a great grandfather and I had a chance to play with great teammates. As far as having those Negro League ties, I feel a sense of responsibility. I never want to tarnish not only that legacy but also the Hairston legacy."
If Junior eventually has a son, there may be a fourth-generation Hairston to appear in a Major League box score.
