Post by: Tony Doherty on February 21, 2007, 02:13:49 AM: It is about 4000km or 2500 miles, so 3-4 days driving. I think you could drive all the way around Oz in 14 days.

Last time we had a show here was in 2001 when Boris Borodin hosted the NZ Grand Prix, which had Ronnie, Cormier, Shelestov, Groulx, Thorvildsen and Marc Rainbow competing in it. Wonder what happened to B Borodin.

I might get a lot of the pros to come down here in a couple of years or so for the first, annual NZ SQUAD Classic 8)

I aint got nothin negative to say about that except that in all the years that I have put on the shows, I have never had complaints about how I treat people. Sometimes when someone is unhappy with their placing or condition, I am an easy target. Enough said.

Tony is considered the "Jim Lorimer" of the BB southern hemisphere.. Ask Vince Taylor why he chose Tony's show over any other for his comeback.. ;)
