WILD THING

Dear Dennis, I would also like to let you know that Mr. Vic Butler passed away in 2001, may his memory live on. Vic and Steve pretty much started the travelling monster truck shows here in Australia with one dirt bike and one monster truck called WILD THING which they bought from Barry Gaunt. Steve and Vic completely rebuilt and modified the truck and ran the truck for about 10 or so years Vic's son Steve still owns Wild Thing. I also forgot to mention that Jack Willman's truck TAURUS number 2 or 3 was also purchased by Steve and Vic Butler. Sam Xuereb later bought the truck then sold it to Iain Soanes who took it and his own truck TERRA TRIP to New Zealand where he now resides, if you need any more information please don't hesitate to ask.  yours faithfully, Stuart Forrest
