Default I sense a disturbance in the Force...

I rode with Globe today at TWS, and... not a single blade of grass was harmed.

Randy, it's my rep - I'm even more inept as a teacher than Globe is as a drover. Every time I've rodden with him, he's flown off the track like there's a martini shaker waiting for him in the outfield.

LMAO!

It was a great weekend. That session on Saturday with you, Rich, and Phil rocked.

Don't tell Henricksen, cause it will go to his head, but the dood can drove.

Yes, some people, back in their earlier driving days, take the instructor's expression, "GAS, GAS, GAS!!!" a little too seriously, don't they?

Robert, since Globe must now be immune to your Jedi powers, I guess you need to try riding with me. "Come on over to the dark side, son. It'll be a hoot!"

Did anyone actually get any video of this? There is a reason that car is green, blends in with it's surroundings very well, and hides evidence too.
