    Face it, he was a loser.

    Actually, there's one more thing I'd like to add.

    There is a difference between making stupid mistakes and being stupid.

    We all make stupid mistakes, but stupid people keep making the same ones over and over.

    This guy was stupid, a loser, a fuckwit. Sorry if its abrupt, but he is undefendanble.


    Yeah, you're right. I didn't read the original post carefully enough.

    Pretty sure Skid Mark had nothing to do with this one
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Something familiar about that name. There was an 'Ivan Segedin' used to race cars back in the 60's. Prolly a relative.

    That sounds vaguely familiar. 's a long time ago.
    He used to race V8s from what I can remember.
    I should be able to tell you more after the weekend after I talk to my 'very knowledgable' brother.

    Ivan Segedin

    Ivan Segedin the original owner of Segedins of Dominion road Auckland and saloon car driver is NOT the same person. His son Mark ran the business when it grew to include truck parts out near the airport. The Matamata importer was Bob Clarkson MP the owner of Bay Park speedway complex. Other Importers in Matamata were Chris Tynan & Dave & Francie Green. In Morrinsville Spinner Black & John Patton did the same.

    Yep - We were given the grand tour of Spinners establishment on one visit after enquiring about a 454 chev motor that had been in a boat that had sunk in salt water. We were assured it had been stripped & cleaned properly then reassembled without requiring any replacement parts. We were then taken in to the engine blueprinting room where an employee was disc grinding near some short blocks!
    We no buy...

    I guess it was a blueprinting room because of the colour of the notices on the walls.
    My bro bought a "recond" motor off him and when fitted to the car it promptly ran a bearing.
