    Steve,

    I made that decision on the Friday before the race as it was impossible to be in two places at once, as I had to be in Auckland to clear the car and supervise getting into the Bristol freighter, etc.

    Steve, as I have said before it was Delcourt that double stinted and took the checkered flag.

    Touringcarfan,

    I think you unintentionally do me a disservice in your brief comments, the deal with the Volvo dealer team was not done until after my team won the both Amaroo and Symon's Plains, I also oversaw the team AVDT right up to the second to last race at Oran park. The AVDT, inherited a well honed winning package through my teams efforts, despite this fact, John Sheppard managed to F.... it up and the whole AVDT team folded, less than one season old.

    Not sure who you really are Frosty, maybe Dave Graham? but I would like to make a bet with you, but I wont because it would be equivalent to "taking candy from a kid" as you are 100% wrong wrong wrong!

    And I might add a bit flippant with comment about me watching another race!

    In fact it was Robbie who slammed the door shut on Michele, just before he gunned it out of the pits.

    Cheers,

    Mark.

    Seriously i have not watched the race video for more years than I care to remember, so no wonder Robbie was so keen to have Michele double stint in the middle so that he could bring the car home.

    Profuse and very sincere apologies Frosty, I was wrong. Funny how ones memory plays trick's on you which why eye witness are so notoriously unreliable.

    Why, thank you Mark. Apologies accepted. Age is a funny thing really, I guess we all have lapses from time to time. I recall Robbie had a blistered right palm as car was LHD. But you did get one thing correct, my name!!! Great days then. And the guy who got hit with the delaminated tire at Puke asked you if he could take it home as a memento. He certainly had a good shiner and was incredibly lucky that it wasn't worse.

    Cheers

    Ha Ha LOL. Hi Dave, you always liked the big juicy home made Hamburgers the girls used to make, which is why Randle nick named you "Hamburger Dave" way back in the Volvo day's

    Bobi wants me to share that Utube clip so I am just about to do that.

    If you are down at the last Central Muscle cars meeting at Taupo on the 2nd May, Jacko and I are going down to support Peter and Andrew Knight's new Chevy Monza that we built for them so we might catch up with you as reckon I owe you a few beers! It will be touch and go to get it finished but its in the paint shop today so should be finish painted by Wednesday and a big big weekend of work should see it all finished by early next week, then the long haul up the Island.

    Cheers,

    Mark.

    Not sure if I will be able to get down there as I will be at HD (May 1) for a test day driving a MB 190E Cosworth built as close to DTM specs as time and $$$ allowed. Hoping to get it all sorted for the endurance series, time will tell.

    Cheers

    Dave

    Cheers
