Ah Rod, the memories will always be with you (and us who got to see it run). I'm sure you're doing it for the right reasons though. There will always be new toys out there for you to play with. She will be sorely missed

Happy Birthday Jesus!! Hope you have a great one!

I've got RBDETT. Dezz copied me coz I got my plates when I first got my R 5 years ago. WTF is on the car of one of the uber hierarchy of MelbCCR here in Melb GTREAL is also the plates of JAGR33 (Jack) here on SAU.

Have you still got the carpets in the boot? Ie. the surrounds and boot floor carpets? PM me if you still have them please.

Stop teasing Ash like that! It's not fair! It's like pretending to feed the animals at the zoo. One day, they'll bite your hand off. Right now though, it's HILARIOUS!! I'm sure Matt and Liz are enjoying their red jackets.

Totally agree (being half reasonable). Stay tuned for more info...

I know what the surprise is and dammit if I didn't have the U2 concert on that night, I'd be there with bells on! Even if there wasn't a surprise, DECA is something you have to experience to truely say you're part of SAU-Vic.

Happy belated birthday mate! Hope you had a ball kicking NSW asses!

How are those times competing with the NSW peeps? Are we winning yet?

Sounds like fun. Depending on the day, I may attend.

Hanabishi - King St Ocha - Kew Orita's - South Yarra Koko - Crown Shira Nui - Glen Waverley

Oh... I see. Yeah, Pete's son Campbell is pretty cute too

Yeah!! Joel's head is SEXY!!

Congrats to everyone who participated and those who volunteered their time to help out where they could. I had a ball as usual. Buggered but fun none the less. In the end, the dyno awards went to: CDUKTV - Toyota Supra - 742rwkw RH9 - R34 Skyline GTR - 662awkw Benny's 180sx - 481 rwkw CDUKTV and RH9 will most likely be at Final Battle along with the current record holder which is a Supra built by Millenium Motorsport in Brisbane which made 748rwkw on the gas to compete for the grand trophy. It was only 18 months ago that 604awkw was the record. How times change... Also congrats to SAU-VIC who scored a runner up trophy in one of the club categories.

I'll be there commentating the dyno challenge from about 2 on Sat! It's gonna be a ripper event even though my car won't be there

Gonna try to make it but it's the same weekend as my paintball expedition.

I'd love to join this worthy cause but due to the racial aspect of things, for me to grow a mo will take about 6 months Chances are I'd just look like a Asian pimp too and get arrested as soon as I step into the general public.

Webber drove an F1 down St Kilda Rd a little while back which I guess would have been cool if I was there to see it. Didn't he also do the Sydney Harbour Bridge?

Would have been funnier in traffic. Couldn't have been good for the car doodling around at bugger all speed.

At least it didn't go into oncoming traffic.

W00t! Yay for Juz. Welcome aboard. Not like I didn't know you were already here though...

I wanna jump stuff!! Rossco! Get yr POS out there!! Kev will look after is REEEEAAAAAL good.

My thoughts exactly. MS wasn't the only one though who used "unsportsman like" tactics to win championships. Senna did it to Prost in Japan too but for some reason, I still rate Senna higher.

With his racing career now over, was Michael Schumacher the greatest person to pilot a F1 car? 7 World Championships 91 race wins 68 pole positions Was it MS who did all the hard yards or was it the team around him and his car? Some may argue that he took the core of his Benetton team over to Ferrari and continued the sucesses he had previously just under a different banner. It takes a great driver to win world championships, but this really is a team sport and having the best team will most likely eventuate in the best results. When driving for Benetton and winning 2 world championships, his teammate Johnny Herbert also finshed well. Driving for Ferrari, Rubens Barichello was always very close behind. Does this mean that the car itself was what propelled MS to great success? One only needs to look at MotoGP to see what I'm referring to. Valantino Rossi, 5 time world champion rides the same Yamaha as his teammate who never even looks like challenging for the win. Only people like Sete Gibernau and Nicky Hayden (this year) give Rossi a run for his money and they are on superior bikes. As a driver, MS was a genius in action. He had a different style to previous champions but there was still the aura around him like he was untouchable. Reminiscent of his predecessors like late great Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost and Juan Manuel Fangio. He was a tactician and like other champions in their sport (like Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan), could change up a gear and do things which didn't seem possible. A thing of beauty to watch on tv and in person. His personality though detracted from his success. To me he just seemed arrogant. He was good and he knew it. Only in the last 12 months did it seem he became more humble when Alsono won the championship last year and he knew he was faced with a real challenge this year. To me, that was a more pleasing MS to watch. One who faced challenges head on rather than sitting on his stool ontop of the mountain and look down on everyone. MS will be missed as a driver and competitor. Will Ferrari still be as great without MS at the wheel? What will his future role in Ferrari be? Who will take the reigns as the next dominating champion? Your thoughts? I guess time will see.

Happy belated bday Al! Hope you had a great one mate!
