[Cap'n Jack]

Any one watch the V8s in at Pukeohe on sat and sun, They were great races and if Greg murphy wins the next race hes the series champion...But it would be better is skaifey was the series champion oh well hes on 3rd at the moment thats good enough.

 

[SandStorm]

What?! No Skaife on the poll? He's 90 points behind, don't discount him!

MODSTERS ! Edit this poll now!

GO AMBROSE



TIME FOR A FORD CHAMPIONSHIP

 

[SandStorm]

Nah go MURPH. He's never won a championship before.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

I like skaife too but murphy is only 3 points behind ambrose.

 

[vat_man]

I can't have Murph win - I once told him to his face (when he was racing with Audi) that I didn't think he was consistent enought to win a touring car title. I can't have that prediction shattered.

I used to work for their major sponsor at the time. Murph took it pretty well, actually. He's pretty intense, but not a bad bloke.

 

[HRT_Maloo]

Yeah, I was there, right by the sign Dean Canto took out

 

[millencolin]

he seems like a bit of a loud mouth on telly


the only interaction ive had with a high level racer would be alex tagliani. me said "hurry up and win your first race, im sick of waiting"

Ok then the V8 supercar website must of made a mistake it says marcose ambrose is on 1989 points and greg murphy is on 1983 points!

 

[Bollocks#999]

I was going to say its only 6 points, but you beat me to it

and I voted for .....AMBROSE

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Lol I thaught there was only 3 numbers betwen 3 and 9 I really need help!

 

[Bollocks#999]

...and here is the proof of Ambrose laading Murphy by 6 points:

1 Marcos Ambrose 1989
2 Greg Murphy 1983
3 Mark Skaife 1859
4 Russell Ingall 1771
5 Craig Lowndes 1646
6 Rick Kelly 1636
7 Jason Bright 1584
8 Steven Richards 1571
9 Todd Kelly 1538
10 Paul Radisich 1477

 

[Cap'n Jack]

On sunda they said it was like 90 points and the enternet site says 3 so I dont know what to beleve!

 

[millencolin]

yeah im not confused or anything

 

[Glut]

On sunday it was 90 points, but due to a poor Ambrose performance, it dropped rapidly...

 

[Bollocks#999]

....to 6

 

[millencolin]

i dont know what to believe

Hah ha! He's doing it for you, you know that, don't you.

Still, that is worse than the worst thing I ever said... I was having a conversation with Andy Priaulx's sponsors a while ago. They said they thought he was an excellent driver, but were disappointed with the performance of the car. I pointed out that that was their fault for not giving him enough money.

 

[Bollocks#999]

I bet they didnt like that a helluva lot

 

[millencolin]

yeah, but its usually the truth

Well you're always so god-bloody-dammed smart, it's about time someone showed you up!

Did you actually have a conversation with Murph, or just tell him that one thing?

As I mentioned above, I used to work for the major sponsor of Brad Jones' Audi super tourer team - I went to the Vic events hosting clients. It was nearly ten years ago - I chatted to Murph a couple of times. Brad's a nice guy - Kim Jones is a really interesting guy, especially on the technical side. I remember we were talking about Audi's AWD, and the fact that no-one else had got it working (remember Ford were fooling around with it with a hatchback version of the Mondeo?), and he casually dropped that Nissan had been trying to get an AWD Primera going for supertouring and also couldn't get it working.

It was a little awkward, because everyone knew Murph was quicker than Brad, but was under team orders.

Hehehe I just remembered when Brad Jones' manager or what ever went skits that was so funny "THANKS ALOT GUYS YOU RUINED OUR RACE!"
