Hi wimbo77. Estreeter gave me the nickname of "Kevin" only when I make posts on this thread. I don't know the significance of that name. I suspect it might be one of Estreeter's little inside jokes. Another member - bloke57 gave himself a nickname of "Davo", but he rarely uses it.

Won't be any different, Aussies love their summer and will be out no matter what. Half an hour from now I'll be out for the day.

Same could have been asked way back, Courier, Sampras, Aggasi, Ivanisevic in recent times who've gone... the next are always coming.

OK, the reason I chose Kev,
Well, we do use Kev for short and I wanted a link between Australia and the US, the only one I could come up with is Kevin Bartlett, He drove a Chevy Camaro in our Touring Car championship way back.

Hey loose g

This look familiar



Had a round of golf down there, then stopped here on way home for a cool off and a bite plus wanted to test my sort of new camera a bit, came up not too bad but these are reduced by 3/4 in size and quality.

But the real reason for posting this, I wish Kev and putin5 were there

We use to have Nascar races at Calder Park. The King, Richard Petty did the 1.1 mile tri oval in 28 seconds

Is Calder Park still going? My younger brother raced down there years ago.

I think it's only used for drag racing now,

Years back I did get a great birthday gift though, some might remember that Fast Track Racing, They had package deals where they they taught you to race an Auscar and also Nascar, plus a BBQ lunch, that was a thrill, The car were detuned a bit so not quite as powerful but what a day I had I think they do V8 Supercars only now, not sure.

Kevin here. With Brexit failing in the U.K and the English economy failing and the government possibly failing one might think that there could be a mass exodus of Brits over to aussieland. Australia has a very successful economy with steady continuous growth and a wealth of natural resources, very low national debt(when compared to the U.K.) and so much more, but this won't happen because the English could not tolerate the Australian super hot summers, all the deadly wildlife ending up in peoples beds and lunch boxes, and not being able to get to their vacation spots on the European continent.

Australia is safe for now, you lucky devils!
