    Take the money and run

    Last year we had a big campaign in little old New Zealand to help raise funds for Sam Croft to race overseas and how it would be a good thing to get behind.
    What's he doing now, his web site hasn't been touched since april...
    is he on a beach with Ronnie Biggs spending the cash donated here or what?

    Yep Whitetrash, must've come back to earth a bit, with a thump.
    I always thought it was too much a step. NZ is behind the world stage these days.

    wonderered where that was, ok that's a FB page but there are other media outlets, local papers, KB etc that helped get them there but little info seems to be coming back.

    Yeah probably right, sorry if it came across harsher than I meant it. It's just kind of like how it's nice to acknowledge sponsors. Clearly some ppl (not counting myself among them) felt they had an opportunity to be a part of something really cool and answered the call with cash. I don't think anyone is making any claims of ownership or anything, just an occasional update. Perhaps someone involved, or a caring supporter could copy/paste the facebook updates into a thread on here, out of interest?
