No one here is missing anything...
I met the guy once and was really put off by him. Talked to other guys in Oz who all felt the same way. He was just full of himself puts people off in general from what I gathered.

Well for all the talk, videos and all the hype about this car when it came down to actually turning up at Drag Week the guy just decided he didn't want to go. As far as I know there are a lot of pissed off people who put time into this car with the understanding that it was being built just to go to drag week. Seems like the car runs and drives fine from what I can gather. It looks to me like he was more interested in building a "show car" rather than a street strip car. Guess he would just rather stay at home and polish it....
lol, This makes sense.

I know quite a few Aussies...and he is one of the few that you just wouldn't want to bother being around IMO.
Luckily most of them are real good people though

Nah... I didn't see anybody having to swerve...there was plenty of room in front of the "soccer mum" van. Looked like a perfect high speed merge into fast flowing traffic to me.
Bummer your not coming this year, would have been good to have some beers and a laugh..
