Surprised DJ is still kicking around the TKR name. Thought he moved on to other things since he was declared bankrupt.

No warranty. As is condition. km continue to rise.
As least this time they're admitting that the cars are a POS... |

Just been reading on David John's Facebook page via Aaron Noonan that Team Kiwi is building a new facility.
Wonder how they're afford building new things? |

While I was in Auckland recently I saw a display car, driving on the road that was the old Team Kiwi race car...

Doing more digging on the Book of Faces and seems Mr. John is flogging off Supercar weekend tours under the TKR banner. He's also been doing NZ national tours with the promo BA Falcon and VZ Commodore cars alongside Jason Richards' old VX Commodore plus the twisted wreck that was the 2006 Bathurst Commodore that Paul Radisich smashed coming out of the chase.
It's surprising to always read that David John is saying that he's "looking to the future and all about developing NZ drivers for the worldwide stage" but is always flogging off stuff from the past. If he was actually keen, he would form either a partnership or a sponsorship deal in say NZV8's or something in either Kumho V8's or the Super2 series but alas. And if he's trying to make money, well, what's the old saying in motorsport? "To first become a millionaire you must be a billionaire"? |

So if BJR have said 'thanks but no thanks', who does that leave to run the car? WAU will be busy. Triple 8? GRM? I still say this is all pie in the sky. Happy to be wrong, maybe evomike can come back to comment.

If TKR actually turns up for Bathurst, I'll eat my hat. (got an old Sparco one with some crusty bits which would make it taste at least interesting)

Had to check the date wasn’t April 1st. Who in their right mind would get involved with DJ and TKR given their history of bullshit and unpaid bills. |

Victim 2, also a lovely guy and generous. the others 3 and 4 their names escape me right now? I'll have to get back to you.

Someone who may or may not have been directly involved with this team may or may not have recently been released from serving at the pleasure of Her Majesty...

Need to merge the last few posts with the TKR thread - the gaol link is only a page or two back from the last post:

Just a couple of minor details to iron out: "only the final budget and engineer that understands the ex 888 race machine is needed to get TKR over the line." We're all on the cusp of a Bathurst wildcard apparently ! |
