Wonder who the silly turkey was that thought that was a good idea?
Dick Smith (the man himself) must be feeling a bit uncomfortable about it.

On a side note.....isn't Woolworths trying to sell off Dick Smiths?

I'll probably get absolutely flamed to hell for this but eventually people are going to get over the dead and their memory will slowly fade away with every memorial that gets removed. Bound to happen sooner or later, even to Brocky. At the end of the day the V8 governing body is just a slave to the almighty dollar.


so you would approve... if we commercialized all the Anzac memorials and Shrine and made money for Bunnings or Coles or Big W from them????

or really be done with it...
and re-name the whole place -Mount ANZ has a nice ring to it

me (and my family and friends) are now boycotting anything to do with V8Supercars until the d#*!khead who allowed this is
sacked or dead!

Anzacs - fought for the Australian way of life against NAZI's, Japanese, pretty much any threat

Peter Brock - hooned around in a car for a few years whilst being PAID to do it.


I like how you compare the two.

You strike me as the type of person who on Australia day buys the Aussie flag pluggers and beach towel and acts all patriotic and stuff..



While walking on the flag and wiping your arse with it..

Dick Smith has been owned by woollies for a long time now.

Hooned around??? You for real??? He was paid to drive cars fast around a track in controlled circumstances. Hardly hooning I would think. Lets not overstate things huh?
