| Bad accident pic during 2nd race
Ok now it's no secret I don't really like Porsches, but check out this prang,You wouldn't wish this on your worst enemy. Luckily the driver is ok but sore.Went over 4 times and needless to say the car is a write off. |

Ross, another Porsche was totalled at QLD raceway on the weekend, along with Jason Richard's V8 Supercar. Both cars
clipped the same curb (in different races) and were launched rolling five or six times. Both cars a write off, both drivers thankfully OK.
Pic is of V8. |

Ross,
I assume that you didn't just pick a picture of a rolling Porsche at random [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Was it an event you competed in? The track doesn't look familiar. | |

Thanks you guys, I think the photo being shrunk does wonders for me and you can't see the wrinkles or bags under my eyes.I am 53 and the arthritis in my left leg is reminding me of that.I think I'll keep that avatar though.How about the pic of me at the podium in the race suit, do I look 20 in that shot?Actually Pete I reckon you've squeezed your photo to give a thinner appearance, am I right?I have no portrait in the attic, only the odd bird (feathered variety)just in case you went off on a tangent.LOL

Gee Ross, you really know how to hurt a bloke. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
No I didn't stretch the picture, but for sure I can't fit in that race suit anymore. To many beers at Petes Bar. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]Thats it for now I'm off to the Gym. | |
