You can say alot...but if your at the V8's can you go and say to Tony Cochran that he's a dickhead and he deserves to have a red hot poker shoved up his arse for putting overseas races ahead of regional Australian races.

According to yesterdays paper Symmons Plains goes next year and Winton goes the year after with the big idea being that tracks have to go to make way for 6 international races.

Winton is one of only two tracks in the country where camping is still permitted on the in field and is still a test track for Victorian teams and they think the overseas dollars are more important than that. Bet all those local suppliers who are sponsoring these events and teams love seeing their ads over seas where the financial gain from exposure can be counted in cents.

 

[Matt76]

I think those tracks are getting way behind both in safety and facilities too. Even Phillip island is a joke compared to a lot of the international circuits. It's only a matter of time before we lose motogp from there.

 

[KraftyPg]

So instead of putting their money into overseas racing for an Australian event the should put some of it into keeping local race tracks running. I know that the venues also have to put money in themselves and thankfully for most tracks there is race events most other weekends during the year to keep them ticking over but it still wouldn't hurt if AVESCO were more interested in local events rather than overseas dollars.

They should also put some money into getting decent race officials, what a joke that Tander incident was coming into pit lane. If the rule exists it should exist for everyone, sure it would have meant Whincup was out in the lead by himself and not as much of a competitive end to the race but rules are rules and everyone else doing it this year has been screwed. Bet even after their meetings tonight there wont be any major punishment because they will be reluctant to take points from him and even if they decided on a fine it's hardly punishment.

Which one is you

I'm the one in the hooters shorts

 

[KraftyPg]

Atleast you don't carry those hooters in your shorts....oh no that's right those sort of people turn up at motorcycle racing

There is no accounting for taste and the older you get the worst your taste gets.

The old man wants a ute for the farm, he's sick of the Crewman being covered in mud and cow shit and having tools and shit bounce around in the tub but I'm sure old ages has screwed up his brain cells. He actually thinks a second hand D22 is what he wants.

Old people really are silly, I've told him he'd be better off buying a Great Wall than sinking to the depths of D22 ownership but he said he's just not worried that people will be embarrassed to ride in the car with him.

 

[Dave]

See your old man has taste.

He might just covert you with that fine piece of engineering.

 

[KraftyPg]

I'm too busy laughing at him for being a dickhead and wanting to own a D22 but there is a lot more to the story than just buying a D22. As far as I am concerned in buying second hand anything he's settling for something rather than getting what he wants and that to me means he wont be happy in the long run. He's been kidding himself for 6 years the Crewman was a good purchase and now he's going to settle on a vehicle just because it's priced right.

 

[Dave]

He'll be right.

What age is he looking at ?

 

[KraftyPg]

He wouldn't tell me but he's only looking at $12K and it's car yard prices because I think he's only been looking at Vic sales on carsales. All started out because his neighbour is selling a Rangy for $9k which is a bomb and he considered buying it, so then he looked on the web for Rangy's realised he could get a half decent one for the same price, found Pathy's in the 2000 year bracket of the same value, then found Yota massively over priced.

I told him to go looking at D22 and he reckons he's found a dual cab tray back for $12K but I know nothing more about it. I'm just hoping he comes to his senses and even if it's a D22 buy a new one, get rid of the Crewman and use the dual cab for everything rather than just buy someone elses problems have three cars and only use the crewwie for holidays.

 

[Dave]

Wanna hope its a V6 or QD32 powered D22 for that price.
