What's the relationship with Pither and Ice Break?
I have met him before and he's a really nice guy. Is he just good with sponsors or is there more of a link?

peckstar has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
In 2005 you told us in this very forum that he had retired.

Would have been an ideal GT3 candidate, a few years before his time

Retired from driving a supercar perhaps... maybe time creates possibility... would make for an outstanding team principal for Team Kiwi/Super Black/Sir Speedy Thexalot Enterprises...

Whispers from around the traps suggest that Mr David Thexton, affectionately known as "Speedy", "Thecko" and "Sir Speedy Thexalot" seems to have chosen to retire from motorsport as a driver, with immediate effect.
retired as a driver in motosport, which is obviously different than being a team principal.

Assume he has moved on to his next hobby

i got that.

just googled him to find out what he was doing now and found an old thread from gtr

He would have been a perfect fit for GT3, he was the last of the rich gentlemen drivers in the v8s, GT3 has filled that spot now

Probably a ride car, teams often conduct at Eastern Creek the week after Homebush, otherwise just a display car.
