Okay Okay write bloody up,,,I'm not perfect but god am I close.

Scan it,,,buy a copy yah tightarse.

Love as always

Neil.

Actually he can have my copy. Just be warned that I threw up on it when reading the Cochrant interview.

Apparently I joined Cams because of Tony.

And people go to track days because of V8 Supercars.

And a whole pile of other tendentious bullshit. :cool:

Phark can we have Motorsport News back to being fortnightly? Even if it was a week old by the time it got to the newsagents over in WA it was atleast readable.

Well this thread was about the wonderful Bluebirds running 26 pounds or was it 36. I loved watching George sticking it up the V8 boy's especially HDT.

Cockrane's a smart piece of work,,,all the tracks he talks about have been improved and thats because of his V8 lot. I see nothing wrong with what he's done. I don't care what you think and the way I see it now,,,none of those track owners would have done a thing if he didn't push them. Next time you race at one of those tracks he has improved,,,look around and thank V8's.

Eastern Creek is the only track to tell him to jam it and get away with it from memory.The joint is booked 12 months in advance.

Yeh right :) Supercars have done nothing for motorsport in Q in fact street events like Indy at the Gold Coast drain money away from permanent circuits. And how can one event in the year support a permanent circuit anyway? QR's overwhelming business income is from grassroots motorsport activities, the reopening of Lakeside is a prime example of grassroots driven infrastructure.

Well lets pick 1 straight off the top of my head,,,

Bathurst has a beautiful new pit lane and corporate area. The top of the track has also had major changes made. Do you think for one moment these would have happened without V8's.

NO

Oh what about Oran Park,,,garage upgrades that would never have happen either.

NO

Don't get me wrong I think he's a turd but he and v8's have done heaps to make permanent tracks better.

Neil.

oh we are so off topic already but here I go anyway....

both those tracks you just said are temporary...bathurst is twice a year and oran park will be gone within 2 years. not really a great advertisment for how supertaxis are helping aus motorsport.

How many new permanent tracks have been built in the time supercars have been around (15 years, 93 - 08)? 0. And how many new, temporary, street circuits (Indy, Canberra, Townsville, Hamilton)?

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
