Will Rodney keep car #7 for much longar?
Has or will 00 continue looking for a replacment driver for car #7? Or scale back to a single car team and lease #7 to another team?
Personally, contrary to speculation, I cant see 00 going to a one car team, their headquaters is F1 worthy and resources are huge, or at least were, their too bigger operation for a one car team...:confused: |

Well I thought 00 were going to be running the Noske operation this season, and that now appears not to be the case....
I also thought the second 00 franchise slot was to be used by a CPR car with a certain Bathurst winner aboard, bit that also appears not to be the case.... 00 has made mention in the trade press that they are looking to help teams by providing turn key cars, components and engines. Indeed they are offering substantial after sales service to Terry Wyhoon and his bananarama-type Falcon, testing with 00 at Calder this Wednesday after having made revisions to the car at the workshop Other than that, 00 has been made mention as a team for sale at the right price

As long as the team is there i would have thought Rodney's place is safe.

00 mototrsport should bite the bullet & replace Rodney as he has too many accidents & is the butt of a lot of jokes. If they even leased the car out this may not happen.

Yes but whose name is above the door?? Would it not be the same surname as the driver of #7... blood and milk are thicker than water

I understand the personal relationship in a certain other Father & Son duo isnt running at its best... but there is no signs of him sacking his son, despite no results to speak of for several years

Great.
So we get to see a BA get written off every round and resurrected. Much nicer. They should give the raped 00 car to Wyhoon, that hunk of **** they sold him is even more bent than an Imrie car |

As Rodney hasn't written an AU off, why would he suddenly start writing BA's off?

Ask Terry Wyhoon about the sponge he bought called the Roddler-mobile.... its been crunched at every corner, about the only thing intact is the roof!

So it wasn't a write off? Just damaged.
That car is the ex-00 lowndes, ex-roddler, ex-stone bros car, at least 3 years old, and he expected what exactly? You get what you pay for. Blind freddy could have seen what they were getting, in fact it was mentioned what a dog that car was before the deal was done. And you want sympathy for them? Please. |

No, actually its the ex-Osborne Colorscan car, which Roddler has fenced no less than 10 times in its life.... either in races or practice... once he even crashed it shaking it down after getting it back from getting fixed....
That Wyhoon is written elsewhere as being at 00's test this week, it seems there is a warranty claim underway |

But what do you do with champagne tastes and a water pocket??
And if you are sold a pup, despite being told all the right things.... and get to Wakefield and discover the motor, the brand new motor they supply, breaks a camshaft and wont run!! After about 10km of racing... |
