Yards And Yarns

[Dave Silcock]

I don't know were the cops were in those days but I never saw them. Further to that yarn however was the first car that pulled up to see if we needed help was a bloody great black hearse. As to the cops ,some friends from my Vintage days who lived in Totora just south of Oamaru saw them out on the road measuring the skid marks, thought I might have caused them and on a visit to my home in CH CH informed me of same. Where the hell did they get that notion from!!

Not a car storey But that 14yr.old boy that drove that Western Star over 200ks.will take some beating!!!

Yep damn good effort I reckon, Big rig and some fairly narrow bridges on that run. The kids got balls but I bet Dad owns them now!!

Yes I know the Lad, he has been around trucks for all his life to date, his grand father and father still drive, and I drive part time for the same company, you would not pick him to be 14, he looks around mid twenties, so has the body and needs of a man, with the brain of a child, the truck itself is a auto shifter, but still not that easy to drive, not quite sure what will happen to him, but when I last spoke to him on Friday night as he was cleaning his granddads truck he thought he would be in jail before he was 16, he may well have got his wish!!

Hi Roger, I certainly hope his prediction does not come true. Maybe he needs to get into something to challenge himself.
This forum would likely have more than a few possible wayward lads that have found a focus in life through the love of motorsport. He obviously has a passion for big rigs. Hope it all works out for him.

Another hard to believe ,Win Percy and Alan Grice in France are shareing the latest Nissan supercar in a race,they decide to travel to the circuit the night before the team, that are going in the morning so they can play some golf.After leaving Paris they get on to this motorway that goes for miles{ a toll rd. maybe?} they have the Nissan wide open when up ahead they they see this police car in pursuit with his lights flashing Alan says to Win ,something I have always wanted to do!! and they flash past the cops at over 150mph,miles down the road Win changes seat with Alan and with a full tank of gas they pull back onto the motorway just as the flashing lights are seen in the distance,and if I understand correct at the end of the motorway is a tollgate that records the time you enter so with the chap in charge muttering imposible over and over as he kept putting the ticket into the machine they drove off into the distance!! another time Allans kids asked him Dad why are we up this dirt road with the lights and engine turned off and why was that car with the flashing lights and siren speeding???They are trying to catch a bed man!! he replyed

Gin, is it true that TRS crashed after you had logged on? You must keep away from those dudious sites. If you really want a Russian bride then give me a call and I'll import one for you. Plus GST of course.

[David McKinney]

And "spell as good as you and I"

Sorry Rod - Jim was right in this case

[Rod Grimwood]

Not too often he is wrong David. We all smiled as you went past Jim, the pits was a friendly place.
