GTR do you know how many different silver ferns are used in NZ? Because I don’t. It’s a flippen national icon, oh and by the way in most cases the national base colour is black, oh and by the way we are also known as Kiwis.
I think we all know of your dislike for David John but hey you don’t have to tar a bunch of Kiwis that go racing with a black shirt and a silver fern on it with the same brush. With all due respect I am politely telling you to pull your head in and find some nice things to say instead of being so negative. |

And the thread goes from bad to worse
This thread is becoming a joke, so is now any team with the name including any of the words Team, Kiwi or racing now associated with David John.
So is Brad Jones Racing now part of team Kiwi. GTR mate I won't be as nice as NAC Pull your head in your turning yourself into the next D Johns making up half truths that are not even close to right. |

One Engine failure, Replacement of said engine and completion of the competition with all three cars... Andy Booth, Dedicated crew, Sponsors...Sounds "familiar" to me . Another Great effort by a team of racers from NZ, at an INTERNATIONAL event. Same colour shirts ,the Fern etc... But definitely NOT the same brush. I went to jdo law.co and quess what ...no sign of the team owner there... No "Legal Assistance" Entities visible either... A Different Style...Eh ! More of a..."KIWI STYLE" ! IMHO. flyingduck...a bit of confusion I think, GTRM can't seriously think KTN has anything "in common" with DJ's "operation" If he's infering anything nasty I missed it...Are you teasing us GTRM....Eh? |

Thanks for the personal attack however. The purpose of pointing out the Kiwi team competing at the Nurburgring was to show that there are other teams out there pushing a pro-Kiwi banner, that the look and feel of the presentation of the team isnt actually dissimilar to the V8Supercar entry of TKR, and that they are out there, proud of the fact that they are Kiwis At no point did I ever cast aspersions as to the financial viability of the Nurburgring racers, or any other thing that you accuse me of. Lighten up, there is more to the world than Team Kiwi Racing, and any sleights against Kiwis that are more fallacy than fact. |

The concern is how easily replicable the TKR "IP" actually is... it would be something that would need to be considered in examining a potential purchase of the brand name, trade marks and other associated paraphernalia |

And whether anything similar would be seen as passing off.

as you have alluded to, it is very easy to have a race team with "like' symbolism to represent NZ, and if someone who can ACTUALLY run a race team wants to invent a similar entity, there would be bugger all stopping them from doing so (albiet with a few changes to branding/logo etc). Davy-boy can go to the highest court in the land and protest black and blue that 'HIS' branding has been copied, but i'm yet to see the NZRFU stoop so low as to do it to him!! as i have said all along, Davy John used an 'all-black' car with a 'silver fern' as a means to fund his dream by ripping passionate kiwis aligned to two of their national icons/ images/identities. He no longer owns the licence, probably never actually owned any of the cars (in V8Supercar racing anyway??) and definately has no 'ownership' of the iconology(??) of a black car with a silver fern emblazened upon it. if i hit the jacKpot in the Lotto, i too , could start a team with a very similar, but not the same 'face' and call it TKR (True Kiwi Racesport??), with a slightly different silver fern on a black car, and all he would end up with is a huge lawyers bill should he try to claim copyright/trademark breach. |

DJ's...Te Kiwi Ripoff, has only bought the underarm style to NZ's Motor Racing History. The "Opportunites" as we are all finding out were more about " Funding his Dreams " than running a bona fide buisness. Evo's gunna squalk about cars ownerships...that "contract 101" thing thats served them both so well...up until now ... |

Saw the TKR VT/VX sitting in Hamilton Auction house last week (Ex Perkins build). Presumably no engine or box, had a board sitting next to it with 60k as an indication of reserve...

The words Team NZ and/or Team Kiwi have been used by just about every loose knit group of proud NZers competing in any offshore sporting venture and one suspects that David John gained his inspiration from the Team NZ Americas Cup yachting syndicate where they did play on the support of the NZ Public at large as David took on Goliath in the shape of Dennis Connor and co and this was initially evidenced by the similarity of logos and design artwork.
Difference was that Team NZ had the backing of a couple of very wealthy backers until they were able to generate the support of sponsors and public where as DJ had the idea but no immediate funding and was paying last year’s bills with next year’s income. The saga that has followed has earned him the disgust of just about all Kiwis as he has tarnished the symbols and virtues of all that we hold true in sporting endeavours. If he were to repeatedly publically wipe his backside on the baggy green cap of Australian cricket while standing on the green and gold flag of the boxing Kangaroo then I am sure all you Aussies would understand the depth of feeling about him on this side of the Tasman |

The licence may be gone, but the great pretender still seems to be roaming at will, claiming "new oportunities" to everyone who is willing to listen. still "taking the $$s" |
