The recent post, that I have no idea where it was going about Trolls, which seems to have been deleted (good idea Col) asked the question about "are we still allowed to pick on Peter Edgar". I think it is fair to say that any negative, nasty comments about kids should be immediately deleted by Herr Col but Kartbook mature ( I use that expression reservedly) devotees like Peter Edgar, RV, Mal Crosher et al, are fair game and interesting 'banter' should be encouraged as they add to the rich tapestry of Karting life.

You guys make kartbook fun and give it personality in a sensible way. A great Juxta-position for some of the serious stuff that also makes Kartbook a great site for young and old, new or 'past it' karters. Lets all keep adding our comments sometimes funny, sometimes serous, sometimes angry, sometimes plain stupid and sometimes just late night alcohol infused weird. I've never met Mal or Peter ( sorry about the spelling on the discussion mate but my typing is clearly as good as my driving!) but on katfbook they are comrades in arms (not bad for a right wing radical!!) so Col don't delete this thread because I reckon his Royal Highness Sir Edgar would like a bit of extra notoriety and bury the hatchet (not into the AKA presidents neck) and get back into the sport that he clearly loves more than most.
Attention on deck: Edgar for president Hooray hooray

Edgars No 1 1fan club ticket holder
Pete in answere to your question on now deleted obviosly not funny post of why are people so unkind and pick on you.
After many seconds of thinking why I came up with just a few good reasons. Tall Poppy syndrome is an obvios starting point then your ability to handle situations with a diplomacy and style few can match has created jealosy too many.Then your rugged good looks as well are just a few of the reasons I would say. Mate you have a lot of eggs in your basket you take all these things in your stride I mean you even have a bloody fan club.
I think that now the word is out that you have this fan club and I have also heard that you have a heram as well this will enrage old RV and many others.
Just a few words of WARNING to Mr Furzer & Others.
1) Never expose Edgar to bright lights
2) Never get Edgar wet
3) Never feed Edgar after midnight
I also encourage Col to delete this post immediately this fan club of Edgars could get well out of hand or at least move it to the Pub Section.
Sounds like Peter Edgar is "The Stig"! I have known him for years &, surprisingly, still like the guy.
I refer this to the pub section, it's where edgar effing belongs.
I find it very very appropriate that the Edgar Thread has been moved to the pub at this hour of the morning.
However I feel we need one of those always on the top of the page style links on the main page. What if somebody missed the thread and was unaware that we can all give our opinions on Pete.
I hope you can find time during your AKA sledging mission, to continue with the occasional guest commentary of our brave overseas combatants. With Wall, Foster and a bunch of others at SKUSA we might get the accolades we were denied last year with Foster and Sera both just missing out ( I am sure there is an AKA international conspiracy going on). We have Sera also racing in true dessert rat fashion in Dubai and Forthergill racing at Iwo Jima , gudalcanal or similar shores.
Your commentary will keep us all perched on the end of our bar stools so I hope it continues.

After awakening this morning... and not seeing this thread in the Karting section... I figured it had been deleted... only to discover it here in The Pub . Obviously my request to have it removed has been ignored by the powers to be... a decision they may later regret.
My time here on Kartbook has certainly been an education to say the least. At the start of last year, my first year on the internet, I stumbled across Kartbook and thought it would be a great way expose the problems with the administration of our sport... and those responsible for the collapse of law and order... and there refusal to move to a governance model after being instructed to by the NKC. It was not my intent to make friends... or be popular with other members of this forum. I figured Kartbook offers the opportunity to influence a larger amount of people than the old way of having to attend race meetings and lobbying amongst the crowd. The last thing I expected was the massive amount of attention and support that I recieved in the first year... some good ... some not so good.
It got to the stage at the end of last year... that wherever I went... I was mobbed by supporters expressing how Kartbook had become there main source of entertainment... and that the first thing they did upon getting up in the morning... was tune in and follow the latest slanging match between me and Galvo... and that some days they didnt even go to work as they were glued to there screens waiting to see what would happen next. I recieved many calls from friends encouraging me not to give up... and continue saying things that they would love to say... but feared backlash from the AKA could effect there karting life. It seemed my intention of making enemies amongst the AKA hierachy... had instead made me more friends than enemies in the Karting fraternity... with some expressing more admiration than I was prepared to recieve.
At the start of this year... I decided I would stop being so friendly... and focus on my original goal... to expose the AKA for what they are... and hopefully encourage people to support the NKCs decision to move towards the 2005 Governance model. Until this objective is achieved... I will refrain from being as active on other subjects and continue to use Kartbook solely as a means of exposing the enemy... and to fight for the introduction of a skilled board of directors... which should have been implemented years ago. When this happens... I will return to being happy Peter Edgar... and will drop the negative approach.
Marcus,
Too late. Peter has been exposed to bright lights, he has been wet, and often feeds after midnight.
That would account for those good looks.

Which Brian Ferry? the one who said "lets stick together" or the "I didnt want to make you cry" (Jealous guy)
I hate to say it Peter , but I actually like your posts. I've even defended you from the wifes " Who's this wierdo". The commentary leading up to the Qld State titles was great. Even warned us about the wallopers that we sadly ignored. Got us worked up about the whole event and we treated it like a party. Pity you had no such counterpart spruiking up the NSW titles. Too many furrowed brows done here.
As for anyone that wants to try and flame RV, good luck, choose your words carefully and expect a retort. As for Mal, well he just seems scary. Best left alone.
Never met any of you, but you look like you're having a ball stirring up the masses.

I for one have been threatened to be shot by Brian Ferry...
Peter even enjoys a rum around the campfire late at night at the back of the pits at Pucka. :)
And boy, can't he tell some stories.
Mark Arthur told me a story last May at Warwick about he, Peter, Barclay & someone else in a borrowed Commodore in a late night drive at Pucka. Seems, amongst other things , they hit a roo & had to tell the car owner back at the motel about the ding in his bonnet. His response was hilarious! Tell us this one, Uncle Peter!

Peter, when told of the damage to his bonnet the owner(a well known patron from Toowoomba) dismissed the roo story because he had run into a man of indigenous background several weeks before & that caused the ding. The story goes on that at racing the following day the same car arrived with a sign (complete with pole) hanging out the window with a certain blonde spannerman telling everyone that he would take the blame if trouble occured. But then again it's only a story!!

Richard... there are a few versions of that story.... tell me the one you heard ?
