Confirms what was written in the 2006 list some months ago....
An V8Superstars, they, as usual, played silly games... Murf suggesting to Mr McConville that they played for the same team... and that Mr Weel confirmed his replacement was on the panel.... Mr Weel retiring at age 26 with grey hair.... Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! |

Yeah, both Murph and Weel all but came out and said it, i reckon either this week coming or the week following the final round, we will hear something offical from McConville and SCAR

I actually thought it was nice that Mr McConville recognised Andrew Jones' contribution to the 4th place at Bathurst also.
Presumably there is some niggle in that squad about the 2nd driver, with Mr McConville offering the throwaway (but still serious) line about not knowing who his teammate was to be for Phillip Island..... |

It was also nice that he thanked Murf for improving their position at Bathurst.

In a good car Cam may show that he is a driver with great ability...He is a nice bloke and he took the Lansvale car to its best showing when he was there...

It was in one of the free throw away rags here on the Gold Coast last week or the week before that Cam was to take Weelys seat and quoted Weel as saying that he would like to still do the enduros but not with his team as he wanted Pretty and ? (I forgot who - sorry) to drive again in his second car after the job they did this year. PWR is branching out into more overseas markets and he needs to spend more time on that and developing more products. I remember it was with an ad for PWR stuff at some radiator shop. Damn wish i could find it. The bloody missus has cleaned up my desk again.

Old news mateys, it was in MN four weeks ago. I know this is a free forum, but people really should read the news before claiming "news" of their own!

I know that MN is a different level to AA, but whatever was reported 4 weeks ago was rumour. This thread is suggesting that some sort of announcement (however cryptic) was made. Big difference, and IMHO a perfectly legitimate topic for discussion.

On Panel Beaters the week of Symmons Plains, the boys were dropping some very unsubtle hints about Cam's future. How he'd be "weely happy" in his new team.
Cam replied by saying he was planning a "super" year next year. Funny way to confirm the unconfirmed.......... |

I feel for PW retiring on a duck, lots of starts and no wins, sad.

He is a champion in the eyes of his mummy!!!!!
Now he gets to (pretend) run the company. That was always going to be an interesting task given a distinct lack of ability to read or write. I guess he will soon find out a P&L has nothing to do with a Passing Lane (assuming he can spell P&L). Good luck Cam. The team is very excited about having a driver in the second car. |

Look, he was an OK steerer in a one-car, self-funded team kind of way, but hey, the team grew, changed to Holden, became part of HMS and attracted Murphy and well, the landscape changed, A lot.
Natural order of things and so on... |

... where precisely sits the motivation of the team owner to stay in the sport, now that his son isnt driving for the team that bears his name? Is the money slushing thru the SuperCheap contract really that enticing? Or is Mr Thorn continuing a prudent approach to ensure what is promised is delivered.... |
