Just prior to Repco Beach Hop 24 we mentioned the unfortunate accident Lindsay and Robyn Amundsen had in their prized 1969 Ford Mustang near Taupo. We caught up with them during Repco Beach Hop 24 then were sent this photo of a fabulous piece of artwork done for them by world class artist Dean Lovich. We're sure this is something they'll treasure forever.
