I suspect that the issue is regarding the franchise situation for CPR.
I was of the understanding that the Perkins operation would be running 4 cars in season 2005 for Davison/Autobarn, Richo/Castrol, Dumbrell/Castrol and Tratt/Toll. Franchise licence slots for these positions were supposed to come from RNR, WPS, PWR & PLR.... ... however if the noise is correct that Mr Gore has sold off his L2 franchise licence slot, back to the TEGA organisation, Perkins is now one franchise licence slot short to run their 4 car team in 2005.... I doubt it will be an enormous problem... Mr Ellery has his franchise in play, but until a punter puts the kazillions on the table, the #31 franchise licence slot is probably available to Mr Perkins.... |

The strong rumour GTR from EC..........rnd 13, from Mr Perkins himself was that Davison's car will look very green next year......ie. BP sponsorship.

I would believe it to be envy actually. You do a lot worse than a Perkins mount.

Next question is what will TEGA do with the franchise. Can they legally buy a franchise, if they do buy it do they have to run a car. It then goes back to whether they can legally own that franchise.

I think it would be prudent of the Caltexians to support the SBR engine program by placing sponsorship logos on the Orrcon and Betta Falcons.... then Caltex can finish 1-2-3-4-5-6 in 2005... and the share price can go up even more!!!

I didn't know you wanted a jail term for Christmas, GTR. A great idea though, jail term aside!

Why am I going to jail this time? My place of employ isnt far from one correctional facility, maybe I can commute from there?

I dont own enough to retire on sadly... if I had the courage, I would have purchased a mountain of them on the tick when they were under $2.... especially now, with $11 seemingly in sight

I don't understand that... it's like laughing at the kid that's just beaten you up because you beat him at a running race two years ago.

They must do something right if their share price has gone from $2 to almost $11.
