Jon you on line already! Lost Kai on the way back before the motor way. Hope he's okay!.

Just had a shower and i have serious t'shirt tan and look like a Panda as i wore my sunnies allday!

Good day shame that there wasn't over many folks to cheer the dubs on. There should have been a mix of cars racing though , V8 v Flat 4's , save having to watch mostly V8's running eachother at the VW Nats. Either way it was a great day!!

Just feel in love with the blue 62? Cal with the mega stinger and the IDA's !!!!!

i've got a great video clip of the penrose wheelie/s..... :D

it's about 7meg if anyone wants to host it for me..... dunno how to reduece the size or anything....

and danny, i dunno where you two we're off to but i followed the signs for sydney.....and got home just fine.
even though i only had one headlight, and all my dashboard lights just stopped workin half way home...

great day!!!

Dannyboy - April 10th, 2004 at 08:12 PM

Just after Jon peeled off Paramatta road i had a guy pull out on me in a Skyline and i had the car fully sideways and how i didn't hit him or roll the car , i don't know. Talk about "mud crabs!" LOL !You've gotta get that video clip sorted somehow. The crowd will go nuts!Good day , look like a farkin panda though! See you at Petersham Mackers at 7.30?

Anyway how was your early morning bacon roll?

Kai.A. - April 10th, 2004 at 08:31 PM

farkin hot.....ha ha ha.....


sax - April 10th, 2004 at 08:34 PM

Awesome racing, the Penrose car and the wheelies were amazing.

Was good to see the Fords getting flogged by Chryslers and Holden's as well.....it is simply the order of things in the Automotive universe.


Kai.A. - April 10th, 2004 at 08:51 PM

when i saw all the v8s there i thought we might get some vee dubs whooping v8s.... now that i woulda liked to see!!!!

i've gotta admit, i thought it was bad planning to have so many v8 only racing eachother at an event called the vw nationals...... i'm not saying they shouldn't be there. but maybe they shoulda been racing against the vee dubs instead of just against other v8s.
