And should point out that the illustrated Jandal is NZ made, unlike most of them out there!
*Clarification - Hamilton made, unsure if Hamilton is part of NZ or not...lol

On the V8 website Damien White uses it in defending his decisions in Adelaide.

PLease help. what does this mean. First time I've ever seen it used

Across the ditch we understand jandal to be a thong for your feet.

Terry: It was originally used by a 'naughty' NZ TV presenter (who knows more about motorsport than the PC boys today) a couple of years back and kind of stuck.

He was classified as 'naughty' because of an incident outside a takeaway bar in Taupo, woopie. (most probably right what he said about the mealy mouth female, but he copped a bash for it)

Yep Ellis agreed ... to be honest my friend I feel the other steerers are hooked into the PC thing with sponsors & can not afford to be real people because of sponsor million dollar deals or they lose their rights etc a bit sad .......As for young Scott he is young & a green horn & will get away with it due to innocence & no bad intent . But bet he got a good talking to ... when he was full of energy & said the F..... word he realised ooppppps sh......t ...... Wait for the fall out .. he got away with it

Couldnt have bought better publicity for all concerned for 1M$... good stuff
There is a post of him in the bad boys corner writing over and over ....I should not swear ...on a whiteboard
I'm not a fan of V8 Supercars but this has proven there are some real people involved

Only in NZ... Used to be 'Give it some Welly' meaning Wellington boot (or gumboot in NZ I suppose).

Jandal - Japanese Sandal" - thong (in Aus) - same thing. a thong in NZ is those skimpy ladies undies that leave nearly all exposed

"Give it some jandal" - put your foot down with gusto.
