    RB's slow pitstop was the main reason NOR got close enough. But if the stewards had given NOR a penalty quicker for too many off track violations, VER could have let him past (maybe) and just stayed within 5 seconds. Think Brundle said something like "We dont want this decided 2 hours after the...

    PER has valuable sponsorship $$$ from Carlos Slim's Mexican phone company, also Mexico is a major market and the sport needs a Mexican driver. PER also is NO THREAT to Max, like Barrichello and Schumacher. He knows to come second. They dont want a Rosberg/Hamilton war between drivers. The...

    I’ll give you the tip – at Cape York

    Thought you would drive yourself in the Everest... Good timing as the Bloomfield Track and Lions Den Hotel only re-opened last week after the floods. I have only been as far as Thorntons Beach recently. I expect the scenery will be a bit different to what I am used to seeing and I look forward...

    Spain went as expected, the cars seem a bit closer. One eyed poor Lando commentary from Karun all night was annoying. He stuffed the start, he admitted fault...he is a good driver, probably best of the rest, but traffic must be dealt with. Missed Martin and Ted....

    Westpac increasing all credit card annual fees on 15/6/23

    There wouldn't be many existing customers without some kind of previous Wespac Credit Card these days...or even a few years back when I didnt get any points.

    Westpac increasing all credit card annual fees on 15/6/23

    First year only was cheaper for existing customers but you dont get the extra bonus points that newbies do and you still have to pay the Qantas/Virgin fee unless you stay Altitude only. I dodged the fee a few times while I had a loan and a friendly manager, but now no loan, no manager, full fee...

    Long pants/lower leg coverings on flights?

    Living in CNS, shorts and T shirts all the time unless its cold at the other end. Dressed nice but, not footy shorts and singlet. I have been guilty of wearing thongs on a DOM plane in Hawaii, my hiking shoes died, so did hikes in my sneakers, which then got muddy and wet so thongs (flip flops)...

    RIC jump start call was a bit rough...but at least he got points and beat TSU. Always a better race with some H2O added.

    Yes if he doesnt start performing better his days are numbered. TSU resigned to RB, keep Honda happy...PER to Red Bull, plenty of sponsor $$$ and NO threat to VER...spots are running out...

    How do you pronounce Lego

    Its LEG O when we were kids, as that's what we yelled at each other while fighting over bits when one had the piece the other wanted. (Let Go)

    On the road again

    Its the history of the Airport and the old Bush Pilots Airways etc. The prop is all that remains from the old DC3 on the pole at the entrance to the airport for those who can remember that. You were also looking at a very rare plane across the runway, Hector the Short Belfast is one of only 2 in...

    Public Transport to our airports - what's cheapest?

    It's effectively been half for a long time with the "Free Return" deal, that just finished. But yes the other 90% of the state wishes Giggles would give them 50c petrol as they have no public transport.

    AIRTRAIN Brisbane Go Card 😡

    Giggles trying to buy more votes... We have effectively had that half price Airtrain for the last couple years anyway with the free return for online bookings. I may get in a visit or two but stuff all for my daily life and the other 90% of the state... As everyone up here says, why cant he give...

    On the road again

    A caravan that will let you pass easily??? Never heard of such a thing...there are rumored mythical places called "Overtaking Lanes" where this is supposed to happen but in my experience, they magically go faster in these areas. The rain has nearly gone now and the annual Mexican Caravan...
