But he's a witch!

Nah, all good. Albo, we are agreed that Gen 3 has not been done right.

The rest we can settle over 25 beers and a taxi home.

You might be spot on, murph.

I just realized that there is a silver lining here for me.  Since I retired the missus gets on me once in awhile for drinking a few too many beers.  I can use "Gen 3" as my excuse maybe?  8)

muz...  Albert... we're all fans here.  Please go easy on each other, guys.

Hey, I defended Burgess over Chiller-gate.  :P   You jumped to the wrong conclusion based on my criticism of Burgess' handling of Gen 3*. The only one perpetrating a witch hunt is you. Show me where I said I expect Supercars to take action against Burgess as a result of his DUI charge? As you have claimed.  8)

I said Supercars are sitting on the fence. They haven't affirmed or terminated his employment. Since the news has gone public they will be weighing up which way to go. The public, the sponsors, internal staff might yet sway a decision. Then again Supercars might do nothing at all.

Burgess did use Gen 3 as a reason he went on a bender. Some might think that if the job drives a person to drink then drive and putting the public at risk. That person might no longer be suitable for that Job. His own lawyer said it has put his job at risk. Yet here you are lecturing me not to combine the issues? Pffft!  :-*


* = My criticism of Burgess and Gen 3 stems from him washing his hand of achieving parity and placing the burden squarely on Ford. Despite him and Supercars were withholding testing data, making it impossible for Ford to work on a solution and submit changes.

Directly calling out Supercars for not taking action.

That is specifically linking a private matter to his employment.

How about you go back a re-read my post. I didn't call out Supercars for not taking action. I noted Supercars position, based on their statement.

Burgess' own lawyer said it could affect his employment. So go harass him for not separating "the issues".

Looks like your opportunity to stick the boot into Burgess hasn't worked out as you hoped, eh.


Bwahaha! Oh dear... You got it wrong but nice try. 

I don't think I did, you're clearly very triggered by Burgess / Gen 3 etc.
So decided to start this witch hunt.

But your secret is safe with me Alberto!

Were they? Because they held another VCAT as they were not satisfied with Novembers 2022 test.

The pathetic job he and his moronic mates have done with Gen 3 could easily lead to excessive drinking. I'd be drowning in my sorrows and drinking to forget too

.052 was just a figure Sonic used for comparison. He got done for 0.171.

I think it was over 3 times that at .171.

Smart move! Triple 8 get the most publicity regardless of whether they are doing good or bad things for the sport
