Tander and Skaife.
went to penrith holden (NSW) to meet skaife and tander after hearing they were going to be there from 6pm to 8pm tander was there but left at 7:15 (probablly due to a small crowd but he was very nice to me and the others)and skaife never turned up as i got there at 6:15 (but skaifey must of had other comitments im not going to hate him for it as i know he has a busy schedule and i have met him before and he was really nice).
it was funny GT's phone rang and i think it was leanne because he said "i'll be leaving soon and yes i will need some dinner" she seems like a loverly wife inbetween raceing herself she manages to cook and look after garth at race meetings unless it was his caterer. but how tall is garth i am 170cm and i couldn't believe how much i had to look up to him. |

Leanne Tander lost my respect a bit when I saw her dressed as Elizabeth Taylor at QR, breathing into her hands like she was awaiting news on her husband at war.

BTW I think Tander is about 185 or 190... He sure is a big bloke. No wonder Bargs didn't want to drive with him at Bathurst... |

The V8 drivers are all shorter than me
 These guys have different priorities to you and I. The promotional stuff can get boring I am sure, but in the end, the drivers (some) are obscenely well paid, and shouldnt be showing their disinterest to the public, even if it isnt something they want to do. If it doesnt interrupr their racing schedule, they should probably just grin and bear it.. just like that smiley fella from Queensland always does... and that old bloke from Victoria still does as well... |

And yes they are nice, last couple of years Leanne was doing State Champs in Vic and NSW and (when there wasn't a clash) GT was always there, getting his hands dirty and happy to have a chat about real racing. |

What was Skaifey's reason for missing, as this is Sydney only supertaxi race I would of thought that Skaifey would of attended his appearence commitments. I think it is pretty poor on MS for not turning up. And I am a Skaifey fan.IMO.

Supposed to be there for half an hour, he and Dumbrell turn up 10 minutes late, and stay for only 15 minutes... Yep good way to keep your supporters happy... |

My grandad was 6' 6"... Then again he only got that tall just before he died. Which means Tander can still get taller <oh my god...>.
