EX-RACER & TEAM MANAGER RACE INSIDER
We recently had what’s known as our Friday the 13th Club meal, where a bunch of ex racers and journos have a bite to eat and gossip like old women. Niall and Taz Mackenzie were there and turned up in a Suzuki Vitara type thing, which I’m guessing is part of Taylor Mackenzie’s deal with Suzuki for next year, which is a mega job for him. While they were busy chatting, I snuck out at one point and jacked the front of the car up just enough to get the front wheels off the floor, so when we were all done and had said our goodbyes I had to feign mock surprise when it wouldn’t go anywhere! Taz had a go first, then Niall told him to get out while he tried, but they had no idea what was going on for a good ten minutes or so! It was so funny, they hadn’t got a clue what was happening and a big bunch of us there had formed and were laughing away knowing exactly what was going on. They’ll know better for next year.
