More interesting going ons at PMM.
So did Fabian run out of $$, talent or patience ?? Did he pass the Dude like his predecessor ? Or did he get confirmation his contract was not going to be "Enforced" next year ? C'mon someone must know the real story ? |

I was gonna come here and make a joke about somebody warning Owen not to overtake the boss but everyone beat me to it.
Instead of "Owen gets a main game chance" this thread should be called "Owen gets to be rich boy's gimp". |

Let me get this right..
The rich bloke who payz the bills wants to chuck a bloke who he payz big buckz to drive, for someone else. The rich bloke owns the cars, the team, and is related to the sponsor. And is still paying the young fellah who drove the early part of the season. Surely that means the rich bloke can do as he damn well pleases? |

I agree, totally crazy decision! Don't get me wrong, I think Owen is quite a decent steerer, but he has never raced on the streets of Surfers before! Why on earth didn't he give the ride to Steve Ellery? Steve has already driven this car this year, and he always does well at Indy. Or is there bad blood after Bathurst??

Mr O.Kelly has a long history with the Morris team, in SuperTouring, and running in the 2nd Big Kev car at Bathurst.
Its not a surprise for him to be linked to the ride... ...but I wonder if it is a path towards securing Mr Kelly for the second seat and/or second Sirromet/SuperCheap car for the enduros in 2008 and beyond? |

Mr O.Kelly got in the ex-BJR "old clunker" at Oran Park, and streeted the field...
It is a huge call... getting the car to go quick enough to qualify will be a challenge, and not just for this chassis (looks towards the black Holdens) |

Don't see how Morris is the bad guy in this. It's his car, he can do what he likes and anyway, isn't #39 a rent-a-ride anyway, did Coulthard's money dry up??
Once again it turns into a Morris-bash thread ..... It's a pity we've never seen Morris full-time in someone else's car so we can see what he can really do (which would no dount suprise most of the posters in this thread) |

racer69.......My sentiments exactly..........Fabians backers were probably relying on PMM having to run FC for free in order to comply with their Franchise obligation........Any businessman would have rocks in their head to turn down equal talent bringing good money........Tuf on Fabian but hey thats business. . |

Are your cheeks hurting Fabian?
I bet Fabian Coulthard is sitting back with a smirk on his face at the moment... it seems neither of the Morris weapons are....ummm...weapons at the moment - oh hang on, Steve Owen is just outside the top 10! I dont think Fabian would have been 3.4 off the leaders. Clearly 39 and 67 are struggling atm.

This is not really a place for someone without great experience in this game to try to go fast whilst learning the car and setups at the same time.
