TXT 125 Racing or did you do it yourself? Very pretty. You may have sold me.

I thought you were a meteorologist not a geologist?

Top man. Nigel, of course we bicker that's what makes it fun. Dry comments on a rainy day. Javier, tell your mate he's spoilt.

Jeez. Between this forum and that other one I've been around for about 10 years. Ten years as the only saffer. Now there's three. Welcome. (Ve'll take ze forums yet Schultz...)

Ever buy and expensive CD player? Don't bother, buy a cheapo. They're all made by one of two or three manufacturers and rebadged. The chips inside CD players are all the same anyway. It's simply not worth a company tooling up for all the products they market so (for example) Kenwood makes CD players and resells to Teac, Akai, Sony etc, Akai makes flat screen tvs and resells to Sony, Teac, on so on. I've yet to find a CD player, cheap or dear that lasts more than 4 years anyway.

A certain Aucklander informed me on Sunday that he had paid.

And Boofont addresses Tony as "Sah"!

Javier, these are from about a year ago: Classic trial at Mercer

Steve, the one farm is outside Tuakau ('bout 40 mins south of Auckland) and the other is in Onewhero, about 1hr 20mins outside Akl. Both are great venues. Until it rains. Then they become impossible.

And a great shot of Ian last weekend (pity about the focus)

'nother of Paul. This was a nasty section.

Here's one of Paul midflight last weekend.

Pics of PeterB didn't come out so well this weekend. I don't want him to feel left out so here one from last weekend.

Ian & Paul on another section (same farm)

I saw Sqdn Ldr Down lurking in here earlier, so he can't deny knowledge of the subject

Squadron Leader.. He could tell us but then he'd have to kill us. Give it a few weeks and he can answer.

Sorry Andy we've hijacked your thread. John, As I "mature" I'm developing something of a seething envy of you chaps in the "old country". Many in those fair isles don't appreciate the history and tradition by which they're surrounded. In my life I've had the (mis)fortune to have moved from country to country and there's no time to establish those little traditions. Countries like NZ or SA are new countries, the architecture is rarely more than 100 yo. I guess trials riders are, arguably, the most traditional of all motorsports people with tradition still on view and competing. However my recent visit left me cold with the wholesale architectural slaughter of many towns in England. Sad. It's people like you, Dabster, Greeves, Black Cat etc that make our sport as culturally rich as it is.

Kippilaw:

Who's says we all dig deep and chip in with contributions so that Big John can buy Wee Jean some curtains? The bugger's obviously too tight to buy them himself Hey John: Kippilaw?

'You might say that; I couldn't possibly comment' Dunno, such matters verge on the philosophical. A famous scientist (JBS Haldane) once said "The universe isn't stranger than man thinks, it's stranger than man CAN think.". However said universes should apparently be completely incommunicado from this one.

Bzzzt! The two theories are incompatible. String theory is an attempt to reconcile them. However string theory leads to some other really interesting effects. Like parallel universes.
