Ownership announcement this Thursday.

V8 Fan · 27 May 2003, 00:49 (Ref:611016)

From Aropax @ Conrod.

Just looked into my crystal ball and see an announcement this Thursday.
I see MS owning HRT.
I see Kelly Senior owning KMR.
I see K. Weel officially owning TB.
I see management contract for KMR and TB to source cars and technical support from HRT.
It's faiding away I'm afraid.
Let's see if my Ball got it right.

This Aropax person seems to know their stuff Tricky

Any idea where he/she/it gets their info

Oh No must have already dumped their franchise on the Kelly family I guess

Time to announce it to the world

TheGspot · 27 May 2003, 01:44 (Ref:611040)

If all this is correct there seems to be another team impacted that nobody has mentioned. What does the crystal ball have to say about them.

I read somewhere in a thread that the 00 franchise was being sought for the kmart team, is this correct.

I hope your on commission GTR, in the last 6 months you have sold 00 to Prodrive, Longhurst/Nash, and now the Kelly's.

I have, on paper anyway. Luckily Bob pays me only on success huh, or otherwise he would have paid me 3 times for the same no result

With what your peddeling I am suprised that one Mr Siddle hasn't spoken to you yet......

**GTRMagic** · 27 May 2003, 05:46 (Ref:611114)

Why would Mr Siddle be interested in me? I thought he was having too much fun with larko and the boys, telling the world a BA is coming

and it might, maybe

smithers · 27 May 2003, 05:49 (Ref:611117)

I believe it's due around the same time as Whincups VY.....

**GTRMagic** · 27 May 2003, 05:58 (Ref:611120)

So how would Larko's mob run 2 extra cars out of their LMS workshop when they barely have enough staff to look after the 2 current cars???

Its a good idea if Larko and Bargs can step into the 00 BA's and bring them up to speed, and let someone else under the 00 franchise race the old craaper AU's

Lets hope Roddler isnt part of the deal

TheGspot · 27 May 2003, 07:13 (Ref:611147)

I still dont get it,
Is kmart running under 00 as rumoured or the current franchise

Onlooker · 27 May 2003, 07:19 (Ref:611150)

Those old crapper AU's with 2 non rated drivers were the fastest AU's out there weren't they?

**GTRMagic** · 27 May 2003, 07:49 (Ref:611163)

The 00 franchise is in play... who to choose as a new parent... Mr Tony Longhurst, Mr Kees Weel, Mr Mark Skaife, Mr John Kelly, Mr Ray Borrett, Mr Peter Brock, Mr Rod Nash, Mr Mark Larkham, Mr Greg Siddle, Mr Kevin Murphy, Mr Ross Stone, Mr Bruce Ellery, Mr David Thexton, Mr Paul Little, Mr Bap Romano have all been linked to the place

Bloody hell I wish I was on staff at 00 to get rid of the thing... its like the Citroen on the used car block, great features, but nobody wants to touch it with a barge pole

I am sure I could find a buyer, assuming that the owner doesnt think once an offer is received that the price can be raised, like in the prodrive debacle

And at Winton, Besnard's car was the fastest AU by a poofteenth over Noske, then the 2 Orrcon cars

smithers · 27 May 2003, 22:59 (Ref:611938)

This is going to upset a whole shed load of people.......

**GTRMagic** · 28 May 2003, 01:19 (Ref:611988)

Its going to be fantastic.....

A new Holden superteam, 4 cars, Skaife/Murphy and Kelly/Kelly
A second Holden superteam, 2 cars, Bright/Weel

And Roddler looking for a place to hand his stack hat...

The guy out of a gig is likely to be Greg Ritter

smithers · 28 May 2003, 01:25 (Ref:611991)

Plus 2 spots less Avesco neds to buy back....

**GTRMagic** · 28 May 2003, 01:44 (Ref:611999)

Well I guess that is a likely outcome, no need for 8 franchise slots, when 6 will suffice.

Not sure how the owner(s) of the lazy slots will feel if they are the ones that TEGA wants under its Christmas Tree

**GTRMagic** · 28 May 2003, 02:00 (Ref:612007)

Wonder how Mr Siddle will go as the new owner of HRT? :confused:

True Believer · 28 May 2003, 02:38 (Ref:612027)

For Sale:

One ex-championship winning team,
2 drivers with multi year contracts

Rich dads very welcome

Onlooker · 28 May 2003, 03:20 (Ref:612050)

I was refering to race pace

True Believer · 28 May 2003, 05:04 (Ref:612079)

McConville's (Max Warwick)
Wills' (Kieron)

Forbes' (Bob)
Jones' (Alan)

smithers · 28 May 2003, 05:24 (Ref:612086)

Well 00 are ordering stock for Perth and Darwin so someone must have forgotten to tell them they were sold.
Doubt Forbsie would leave the purse strings open if the team was to be shipped off to a new owner in the next few days.

**GTRMagic** · 28 May 2003, 05:27 (Ref:612087)

Maybe they havent finished dancing the dance of friends and lovers to consummate a loving relationship with the Skakelsport mob

There is of course the franchise slot fall back position but that doesnt include any TEGA voting rights as L2s, which I thought was the aim of the game

**GTRMagic** · 28 May 2003, 05:55 (Ref:612096)

Another thought, perhaps the body doesnt know what the head is doing... is a deal done with Mr Forbes, and the rest of the team continues unabated.... until they get the DCM's

sevi · 28 May 2003, 06:05 (Ref:612099)

Forbes also have a new trailer which is going to Perth.
