You need to offer 457 visas to possums escaping persecution in New Zealand, as a bonus by the time they have crossed the Tasman they should be over any motion sickness.

Hi GR.
Could you have a chat to the possum in the crank wedging dept? (Wedgy) I know he has been on an RDO, sick leave, personal leave, maternity leave , compassionate leave, tea leave, paternity leave, PETenity leave, union training day, trade picnic day lately but surely he could squeeze some crank wedging in after he puts on his PPE, bundys on, signs on, signs in, gets inducted, finds the emergency assembly point, provides copies of his insurances, certificates of currencies, appropriate licences, trade qualifications, fills out his SWMS, has a toolbox talk, waits for his translator to arrive and finally turn on the machines just before its time to stop for lunch?
Good thing the Chinese possums can still work these days!

We are always going to have you queenslanders beat, because we have the younger generation coming through...

Not only that, we also have our spy who fly between Qld and NSW, and relate back to our possums over an evening meal as to what is going on in QLD! :D

Conspiring with the with the colony of bats at Kens place, we get all the good gossip of what's going on. So we've got you guys beat. 8)

Just in case the RSPCA hears about your suggestion it might be prudent to leave the live possums at home that weekend and substitute them with the stuffed variety. In fact, maybe the race organisers could be convinced to include a supp reg to the effect that Minis assembling on the dummy grid with a visible possum on board will get a one second reduction in their qualifying time (or something similar). Up to you to organise, Ken. :wink:

P.S. GR's fruit bat can come along as well.

Why don't you guys lighten up a bit and have a laugh like every body else, if you don't like the post don't read it.
To answer my question, John from Mini Kingdom On Line found out some info about the pocket lights they were only on the very early English, never on the Australian cars so any cars that came here with the lights were imported very early in the 60 possibly as demo's,and the one that Greig has is an English car.

Hi GR
Having seen all the hype around who has the fastest Possum I have decided to approach my racing Possum in a different way and xerox are coming back to me with options. The Professor has his Possum out looking for how to lighten it and make it faster in a straight line.
