Talking In the "Pits"????

Modena, Italy: The Ferrari F1 Team fired their entire Pit- Crew
Yesterday.

The announcement was followed by Ferrari's Decision to take
advantage of the New Zealand Government's "Work For the Dole" Scheme and hire unemployed youths from South Auckland.

The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths in South Auckland were able to remove a set of car wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds.

This was thought to be an excellent yet bold move by Ferrari Management, as most races are won & lost in the pits, Ferrari
would have an advantage over every team.

However Ferrari expectations were easily exceeded, as during the Crews first practice session; not only were "da boyz from Rewa" able to change the tyres in under 6 seconds but within 12 seconds they had resprayed, rebadged, and had sold the vehicle over to the McLaren Team for four dozen DB stubbies and a gram.

Curious made the Panda post it!!!

Ferrari must have hired them after they got booted for selling the Team Kiwi racing car to the Catipillar racing team for the same price

Most of the panels will be custom made & the wheels are 1 of 12 sets ever made. $5000.00 each wheel if you could buy them.

The Panda's car will be something special when its finished!!!
