[Slider]

Well Bo i guess the old one didn,t get it .( Before and after ) before it looks like a plastic grandstand after it look,s real.
Good job and thanks for the inspiration

[Devious Dave]

Looks like Big Al in the red shirt.

[SlotsNZ]

Significant improvement, lost that "garish" plastic look.

[Ontheflipside]

Another well done project Bo.

The colours look authentic as well

As Slider said - some great inspiration. Thanks mate!

You'd think that guy in the blue shirt with the ball (or what ever) under his arm would move his arse while you painted


Cheers OTFS

Three men were discussing aging on the steps of the nursing home.

"Sixty is the worst age to be," announced the 60 year old. "You always feel like you have to pee. And most of the time, you stand at the toilet and nothing comes out!"

"Ah, that's nothing," said the 60 year old. "When you're 70, you can't take a crap anymore. You take laxatives, eat bran - you sit on the toilet all day and nothing comes out !"

"Actually," said the eighty year old, "Eighty is the worst age of all."

"Do you have trouble peeing too?", asked the sixty year old.

"No ... not really. I pee every morning at 6AM. I pee like a race horse - no problem at all."

"Do you have trouble taking a crap?", asked the 70 year old.

"No, not really. I have a great bowel movement every morning at 6:30."

With great exasperation, the 60 year old said, "Let me get this straight. You pee every morning at six o'clock and take a crap every morning at six thirty. What's so tough about being eighty?"

To which the eighty year old replied - "I don't wake up until ten!"

Nice job Bo,it really gets the feeling of the Farm,like the Peter's signs. Make it look like an Aussie stand.

How is the track surface standing up to racing and what is the grip like. About to paint my new track?

Hi Phil

We have not had a race on the track yet , but have done lots of laps on it.
The surface is holding up well and do not expect any problems in the furture, Grip levels are good and most tyres work well.
Our first race will be in May 2007 then June, July,August. After that then its off to Harrington park Raceway for the rest of they years Racing on a new track.

Reagrds Bo

[kalbfellp]
