UGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
You hit a nerve HT! :shockin:
In 2000 the Kiwis made rude jokes about the Aussie Challenge boat going down quicker than a SteinLarger beer. (It sank in 20 seconds after some unfortunate structural damage due to the cutting edge consturction )
Then this year our Team New Zealand boat fell apart on the water. Needed more bail than the Sid Vicious on a drinking binge!
Kiwis now know God Himself is an Aussie, and He hates Kiwi scum laughing at them.
The only good news was a couple of Kiwis were at the helm of the winning Alinghi boat, bank-rolled by a clever Swiss dude. They defected from Team NZ when it became clear the NZ outfit were not prepared to lay out the coin ($$$) to do the job as well as the Swiss/Italian syndicate.
Watching the race was an excercise in fortitude because they New Zealand team was stressed out and unable to hack the conditions. A real duffer.
I'm still proud to be a Kiwi, but we lost a golden chance to kick butt brother!
Next year, well cane the Bathurst 24 hour in a XR6 Turbo BA Falcon. Hope it gets a 6-speed gearbox homologated!
The Holden Monaro 427 was bitchin'. Also rans can just bitch about it.
Pretty good, even if it has got GM stamped all over it!
