Just kidding.

Welcome to the forum. It might worth considering a holiday over to Australia when the Nationals are on to see some more cars.

Cheers Zedn, go on admit it...you're jealous of our sheep....

When are the Nats on? Sounds like a great idea!

Nats are in at Goulburn Wakefield Park in October. Keep an eye on the club cobra Australian forum and you will see the banter start up a few months before an event.

20;1 sheep to people, every one gets a harem. I miss my old girlfriend Baaaahbara.NZ= men are men and sheep are nervous, Oz sheep are just used to it. Kiwi catches Aussie going at it with sheep, "Maaate, where I'm from we shear those?" Ozzie bloke never breaks rythm. "This ones mine and I'm not sharing it with anyone". I gotta stop.
Huge rivalry at home, best of mates overseas, right lads?

Got to hand it to you Kiwis! You guys are the homebuilt kings. Have been following a couple of Kiwi scratchbuilds of GT40's over on that forum. Impressive fabricating skills. Are you all students of Burt Munro?

Cheers SwiftDB4. Burt Munro, Bruce McLaren, John Ohlsen, Bob Wallace, and the late great John Britten.

Mate if I can get within 10% of those guys I'll be very, very, happy

Mates with an Aussie? Maaate! There's a great vid on You Tube about the day Aussie invaded NZ produced for an advertising competition...

Have you noticed how many of them were on the team back in the day. I think I should start another thread on that.

It seemed to be a great time for Kiwi's in motor racing. There's a doco called 'Trio at the Top', which is about Mclaren, Hulme, and Amon. Inspirational!
