Andrew, Nice video compilation. I have all your lines memorised now :-)

Couple of good "tank slappers" in there. You managed to catch a couple - well done.

Man - Lobelly shot across the back straight pretty quick.

You need new gloves - at least and extra second in that :-)

I will have a couple of videos soon once I crunch them down a bit.

cheers Gregg

mmm, you guys are an interesting bunch. My husband and I remember your not so kind words last year on this forum. We are keen enthusiaists and are quite amazed that considering you put it out that there is all this cammaradery going on in your club you dont mind turning the tables on one of your own the minute there is sight of a bit of competition. No doubt it was a great event this year as it was last year I was actually there, 2013. However it seems that while you are all blowing your own trumpets and I of course dont want to burst any bodies bubble but there was one competitor amiss this year and you are all aware of who that is ? We follow the black mongrel when we can .Dont know the guy personally but that car is awsome and we do like watching it around the place. Got a little of what he posted on your forum and reading between the lines I guess you boys are a little scared of a bit of competition? Cause in my years following the racing circuit never heard of anyone being not let enter. Just off the record I would put money on that car if it had raced this year and been allowed to enter he would have left you all for dead. Maybe that is the reason. Oh and Mike you aint no Turkey you are a Galah the way you waffle on. Honestly?

There it is, I was wondering how long till Outside appeared.
Only ever turns up when Mr Black Mongrel is here and not getting his way.

Another keyboard warrior hiding behind their anonymous on screen ID. Turkey or other bird I don't really care what you think of me. At least I'm honest enough to put my real name on screen and stick to the principle that I wouldn't say anything on the forum that I'm not prepared to say face to face.

You talk about this mongrel as if there's hoards of screaming girls throwing their panties on the track as he goes past. Personally I think you are probably mongrel logged in under another ID dreaming about throwing your own panties on the track as you go past.

Two more IDs to add to my ignore list.

mmm. So nice that you remember me. I usually just sit back and read your forums. Occassionally you guys appear to be quite decent but from time to time the green eyed monster appears and I guess I just dont like the nastiness that comes with it. Really interested in your forum most of the time , dont like to stroke your ego but you have some great topics and interesting stories, but really dont like the bad manners . Said I all I come to say. Thankyou for your feedback . Gotta go boss is calling .

How about we leave the personal matter between mongrel and the Cobra Car Club of NSW out of this forum??

We're all starting to look like a pack of biarches when in reality we have nothing to do with it and mongrel had no business bringing it up here.

Short memories... Thanks giving at Lakeside

Now, any more photos or action from the Nats?

I call Shenanigans!!!!!!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha this is hilarious.

Just trying to decipher the text is confusing enough.

I wonder if this will happen every year after the Nationals?

Once again the once a year warriors have come out to bat for their mates. (that they don't admit to knowing)

Where can we get copies of Phil Lynn's photos? Anyone know?

Night all.

Something for "Mongrel" & "Outside" to ponder...........
.
Both of you have delusions of adequacy, have never been known to use a word that would send the reader to a dictionary and although you have no enemies, you are intensely disliked by your friends.

May be time to get some help......

Kind Regards

He came last year....wouldn't have thought he was keen this year...it would have taken him a week to pack all of the excuses why he wasn't the quickest.

Wasn't the quickest, and couldn't handle it.....
Wouldn't have been the quickest this year either.....like it matters !!?

Not wanted...not missed.

The volunteers didn't cop a load of abuse this year because some "entitled" twit thought he was going to be the quickest car in the land...and then wasn't.

His head nearly exploded...so he spent the whole weekend abusing volunteers, and complaining to EVERYONE about how this Nationals thing should be run.

Seemed to miss the point completely that it WASN'T and ISN'T a bloody RACE MEETING...

it's the COBRA NATIONALS,

It's where old friends do their "once a year" catch up, where friends enjoy each other's company, and have a few beers and laughs, and really just enjoy being there.

It's NOT BATHURST !!...so if you're interest is SOLELY about kicking everyone's ar*e...and will abuse and bully everyone within earshot, because you NEED to win at all costs....then you're at the wrong bloody meeting.

Why the F*** would anyone with no other interest but to WIN the SPRINTS want to attend??

It's like someone taking a Pit Bull to a dog show...to prove to everyone that his dog will kill all the others at the show in a fight !!


Maybe next year...

but it would take a MAJOR attitude change..and a few apologies....

So I don't expect that will ever happen.

I wish we would all spend more time thinking about how we can make it a better event, and put things in place months in advance, that will make it a financial success.

We had a debrief ( Pi$$up), at our Monday night stop on the way back at Bellingen, and came up with some excellent ideas in about an hour of discussion.

I'll wait until the dust settles, and give the poor buggers in the N.S.W. club a few weeks to get over it all, and then I'll be asking my members to throw us as many ideas as possible, and see if we can get the numbers back up for next year.
The N.S.W. club copped a fair finacial bashing this year, and it would be nice for them to end up in front for a change.

Enough of this other crap for a start.

Many thanks for a fantastic Nationals, from all of the Canetoads...we all had a fantastic time....Not ONE complaint!!

Cheers,
Warren Boylan,
Club President,
Cobra Car Club of Queensland Inc.
