SENATOR Ricky Muir from the Australian Motoring Enthusiast Party took some time out from parliament to check out Motorfest at Lardner Park last weekend. Ricky was getting right into the action, chatting to spectators and members of the burnout brigade throughout the day. He even climbed aboard John Pilla’s RUTHLESS HQ ute for a wild ride around the burnout pad. That has got to be a first for a senator! As special guest, Ricky also stuck around and presented the trophies to the winners of the event.

We managed to snag five minutes of the busy man’s time to chat about Motorfest, motorsport and – shock horror! – politics. Check out the video for our interview with Australia’s petrolhead politician.
