Posted 01/12/08 11:36 AM Author Share Posted 01/12/08 11:36 AM To be honest.....I think its a tragic day in Australian motorsports..... Tom Walkinshaw is the last person we need in V8SC.....in financial and business dealings....he's got a woeful reputation. V8SC deemed him to be....QUOTE; "not a fit and proper person to hold a V8SC franchise" UNQUOTE; During his involvement with the Arrows F1 team a few years back....the FIA took him to court.... In the words of the High Court judge at the time he was described as QUOTE "a shady, elusive and unreliable witness who's business practices left a lot to be desired" UNQUOTE...... Get the picture......give me Skaifey any day...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows Walkinshaw may add some spice to a fairly sedate series.Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI PSI Member 1,586 Member For: 18y 6m 29d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 01/12/08 12:04 PM Share Posted 01/12/08 12:04 PM I just read the news report and comments on Australia Ford Forums...It is truely a sad day when people get cheers out of such an event. I really feel for him and his family. I am sure that we can all relate to pain that they are now suffering. I have lost much also. How about you???Maybe instead. We as Aussie's should show some compassion and support our heroes and role models that inspire our children and us adults also. Go get'm Skaifey. Don't let the fat cats beat you. Even though I am a Ford man... I'd pay good money to see you back again.. You are a true gentleman in a world full of vilians and tyrany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if he got in that position because old dodgy Tom put him there. I hope they pay him hansomly for his continuing ambassador role. The poor guy had to sell his house and now rents a small three bedroom apartment.I'd certainly have no problems with seeing Tommy boy and HRT go bust again though.
