come on AMG get ya crap together ..


Give them time to work themselves out. Mercedes will be doing everything they can to get those things up to speed and I think that when they and Nissan do, Holden and Ford will have a fight on their hands. Just for the record I'm a Holden fan too

Just a heads up if your on facebook and don't know this but Betty often has a daily rant which these days is the only reason i bother logging into stalkerbook.
It would be great if we did a myswag meetup for the members that are going, fans of camping,motorsport and a few beers, now that would be fun..

I wouldn't be surprised if AMG fully step in once the bugs are ironed out.

Seems to be the Benz way......

They maybe not a factory team but they're wearing Mercedes AMG badges so I still think they'll do whatever is needed to get them up the front.

I am not a Dick Johnson or a Ford fan, but I admire the man for what he has achieved, and the passion that he as for the sport.

Yeah he does have a new book coming out.
http://www.v8supercars.com.au/news/dick-johnson-the-autobiography

I feel a bit sad for him one one hand, as he has been great for the sport, love him or hate him. But the reality is, his money worries have come from bad business decisions, whether by him or a business partner, so unlike "the rock" incident, he has chosen to do what he has done, and that's just the risk of business.

My 2 cents.

EDIT.  Any one gong out to willow bank this weekend. We will be there on Sunday at this stage

He always sails close to the wind money wise and has, several times, been close to doing his arse.

I was a bit over him really, poor ol me, oh, by the way, i have a nice new book coming out.

They say he blew $9,000,000 in bad investments.

I'll never see 9 million in my lifetime, as lawn mowing doesn't pay all that well.

So suck it up Dick, ya had ya chance and ya blew it..... boo hoo.
