Played for college and for the Local Club at rep level. I was playing 5 aside indoor soccer on Thursday nights we pulled the team at the end of last year. We plan to start it up again in the next few weeks. Oh and i play touch on Friday's after work whilst enjoying some free Bourbon's at works expense! Good times. I don't much care for watching amateur soccer, but the soccer world cup is FANTASTIC entertainment! Oh and as for motorsport... i watch every Formula 1 race live on Sky. Plus i've been to every round of the Aussie V8s in NZ, been to watch the F1 in Melbourne. I also try to get along to the NZ Targa. Also love speedway, Sprint Cars rock my world! I try to watch em every second meeting. Oh and another awesome sport - Jetsprint boats. If you haven't been to watch em you should. Good stuff - V8's propelling 13ft boats around in less than a metre of water at ridiculous speeds, what's not to like! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I am very good mates with Richard Burt (was going to be his co-pilot but hes got his fatherinlaw now) currently 1st= in superboat class. Imagine sitting in a boat with water almost literally at eye level then going from 0-130 in 1 second, taking corners at 110, its the most amazing experience of speed I have ever had... Love it...! If anyone is near Featherston on the 11th then that is the next round. Watch out for Rich, this is his fav track... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

If anyone is near Featherston on the 11th then that is the next round. Watch out for Rich, this is his fav track... Superboats are fricken awesome!! I haven't been in a proper jetsprint race boat. Was going to go in one that a family friend owned but it turned to custard and they missed that meeting - engine trouble in the end i think... that was about 5 years ago now though. I haven't got to a meeting for a few years now. I was meant to go to the Meremere meeting but due to a partial error on my part i missed it (i thought it was this weekend, turns out it was last weekend... oops) I have been on that Boat at the Agrodome in Rotorua. It is a downtuned jetsprint boat i believe. It has a 400ci Chev in it and produces around 450HP. 0-100 in 4.5 seconds. Its not just this acceleration though, it's the cornering ability also - your heading straight for a fence one second and then heading back in the opposite direction the next! Some pics of the Agrojet: I usually go on it every year when i go to Rotorua - it'e expensive but it's awesome I would LOVE to go for a ride in a Superboat... That'd just be something else - soooo much power... soooo little weight! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
