Are you trying to get a little back from all those years of buying and keeping GG's and getting lessons mate ?

 

[Stihlman441]

Hah hah you guys crack me up and bring back horrific memories of being involved with a 3 day eventing, dressage, and showjumping girl in the early to mid 90's.

For example:

$20,000 horse float.
$10,000 horse.
$1500 XB Falcon to tow it with as that's all she could afford.

Sort of don't make no sense to me

We used to reckon you could tell who was serious about their motor racing by their road car.

If the roadie was only worth 1/10 of the race car's value, respect, if they drove up in a new Godzilla (as an Eastern Suburbs doctor I raced 'against' used to), wanker.


Example. Back when Glen Seton started his own race team he ran around in an old Gemini. Respect.

Sorry Rick but I disagree. Anybody who owned an Australia delivered R32 GTR was a good bloke
Glen Seton is a good bloke. What's he up to nowadays? I still love that in car footage in the wet of his FJ20 powered R30 Skyline in the mid 80's...

The warranty is whatever it takes to make it right.

That 2095 has a lot of metal in the rear handle section. We had to tighten the screws in the division between the handle halves. It was making a rattling noise in the video I posted when I put it up for sale.......I thought we had it fixed though. Check all those fasteners in the rear handle.......we used Loctite on some and some were still tight.

If you determine that the engine has any problems just let me know. I'll pay shipping to get it back and repair, replace, refund, or whatever you want.

Money is just a way we keep score........doing what's right is priceless. :msp_thumbup:

Nope I don't roll that way........I couldn't sleep very well.

 

[tdi-rick]

Anybody that hits me so hard it instantly destroys a rim and all because I passed him is a wanker.
Did I mention we were doing 210km/h at the time turning into a corner ? Flat spotted three new tyres trying to save my arse from the concrete too. Didn't realise how close I'd gone till Daryl Ritchie, one of the engine builders took me up top of the pits to show where my skid marks were compared to a square edged abutment. It would've been nasty as I skidded another 50-70m past it. I was too focused on yelling abuse at Mr Godzilla while trying to control a three wheeled car. :monkey:

I have to blame myself for that one, I ####ed up qualifying and started mid grid, then got a bad start so I shouldn't have been racing him anyway, but it was always good to pass anybody with a brand new car and all the gear when I was running around in something that should've been in the Historic category

Glen Seton is a good bloke. What's he up to nowadays? I still love that in car footage in the wet of his FJ20 powered R30 Skyline in the mid 80's...

Yep, Glen was always a good bloke.
I'll ask Mum on the weekend as she's coming to visit.
She was good friends with a very good friend of Glen's Mum. Pretty sure they still keep in touch.


We'll now take you back to your regular viewing, Andrew's firewood thread

Including for nasty noises from not using oil as there's no dipstick.... As advised by yourself

Context, Randy :msp_wink: you've got sucked in.... And while it's not the official Aussie dribble thread, it's next best :msp_biggrin:

I think the handle may be rattling a bit and will look at that soon enough.

Except for the one on the handle.

Ive given up counting how many "top of the line" horse rugs i have paid for....You need to keep them warm Dad...meanwhile im in a ten dollar jacket from lowes and freezing.

Not to mention the shoeing every five-six weeks, the feed, the supplements, new tack, dentist bills, vet bills, chiro bills........


I was very lucky, SWMBO paid for the lot but to see it continually going out....although for her it was a business expense as she competed to keep her coaching 'name' out there.

Exactly right, all that plus more. "Need new rugs this winter because last years rugs are well... last years rugs" Can't argue with that statement, no really arguing will not change anything no matter how sensible your reasoning is.

All I can say is lucky horses, may you enjoy the good life.



And then there are also the extreme cases, I met a horse once who had his feed flown over from France weekly... I had no idea Oz horse feed was so inferior :msp_rolleyes:

Wow. Just wow. :msp_ohmy:

I'm guessing a Thoroughbred ?

I've hob nobbed with the biggest and brightest amongst the Oz/International dressage mob here where spending upwards of $400K a year just buying a couple of new young ones from Europe didn't bat an eyelid and I don't think anyone in it was quite that bad ?
Just to provide some balance I had the arse hanging out of my Wranglers at the time but I did have a multiple Olympic Gold medalist and World champion from Germany cook me eggs for brekky

Yeah it was, goes by the name of Americain and talking about the European ladies he has a very nice young full-time French nanny. Bet that brekky was good!



Sorry for hijacking your thread Andrew but we know how much you really like horses... so I didn't think you would mind :msp_biggrin:

 

[tdi-rick]

One of the big T/B studs is a direct neighbour and plenty of friends are employed in the industry.
It's another world altogether.

Hey Andrew, when was the last time you rode a horse ?
