Hi Dave,
         ROTFLMAO!!
         You are right about it only being a "white man's hobby"! Others do 
not get involved simply because there is too much work involved!!
         I do have to explain one thing though - not all white men are the 
same. You will notice that the show was held in a town called Boksburg 
which is "affectionately" known as "Spanner City" - I do not really know 
how to explain it to you but it's one of those areas that is well known for 
its "boy racers", "hotted-up" 10 year old cars and all the motor workshops 
have names like "Rev Right Motors", "Big Balls Racing Tune ups" and suchlike.

         It's also one of those areas where the passport official asks "Do 
you have a weapon?" - if your answer is "No" he usually says "Oh S---, 
here, you'd better take mine". :-)
         I hope this clears it up for you.
Keep well,
Jerry.
P.S. And to think - I really liked that Pink - :-)
