The codriver thing was a joke, like the rest of their paper. Its disappointing that the stories make sense to run, but its got no more factual information than a list someone could do in here

And pray tell, what credibility could you give factual information on? You sound like one of the cretins who think they know what is going on . . . but in reality have no idea! See you are still reading the mag though.

In today's Motorsport News, Page 8, confirms that AA is moving to Sydney, as is Motorcycle News in 2 months time (i.e. end of June).

MN claims that most staff including the incumbent editor of AA will not be making the move north and will be replaced.

Is AA still connected to the Age newspaper in Melb. If so all the decisions of the Age have just been moved to Sydney as of last week.

AA is a unit of Australian Consolidated Press, or Big Kezza to you and me

No better or worse than the teev networks consolidating news facilities, with only the talking heads being different.

In radio on some FM stations, the broadcasting is often networked out of one or the other major east coast markets

A cretin huh... gee thanks mate, I love you too.

So tell me, how much money do I get paid or make from talking about anything to do with the sport? Contrast this with a publication that sells its content as factual and expects to make money from the event. If I bull**** I am duping nobody. Cant say the same for the Auto Frictioneers.

And the business I work for has a shopfront that sells newspapers, so I get my AA for free!

some would argue you paid what it is worth.

Have you managed to get your eyebrows down off the ceiling yet buddy,or are you listening to the Info Minister on CNNNN.
