Great, a human sportsman!
Amazing! Does McLaughlin/GRM/Volvo get anything out of it Ellis? That sure was a popular interview, and definitely harks back to the days when drivers were less robotic in their interviewing techniques.
That's the second time today I've seen the word JANDAL used.Quote:

PLease help. what does this mean. First time I've ever seen it used
Across the ditch we understand jandal to be a thong for your feet.
Jandal - Japanese Sandal" - thong (in Aus) - same thing. a thong in NZ is those skimpy ladies undies that leave nearly all exposedQuote:

"Give it some jandal" - put your foot down with gusto.
Only in NZ... Used to be 'Give it some Welly' meaning Wellington boot (or gumboot in NZ I suppose).
Ha ha love it ...... better than flip flops ......[English] wellies I think were gum boots ..... or there abouts ..... thongs nup don't like it lol , BUT give it a bit of jandal seems ok ..... or just give it a boot full ... good stuff keep the humour going guys
Couldnt have bought better publicity for all concerned for 1M$... good stuffQuote:

I'm not a fan of V8 Supercars but this has proven there are some real people involved
Yep Ellis agreed ... to be honest my friend I feel the other steerers are hooked into the PC thing with sponsors & can not afford to be real people because of sponsor million dollar deals or they lose their rights etc a bit sad .......As for young Scott he is young & a green horn & will get away with it due to innocence & no bad intent . But bet he got a good talking to ... when he was full of energy & said the F..... word he realised ooppppps sh......t ...... Wait for the fall out .. he got away with it

He was classified as 'naughty' because of an incident outside a takeaway bar in Taupo, woopie. (most probably right what he said about the mealy mouth female, but he copped a bash for it)
I am so very lucky to be on this foreign Kiwi forum as it increases my vocabularyQuote:

1st photo 'Thong'
2nd photo 'Jandel'

Jandel, also known as Samon Safety Footwear.....
And should point out that the illustrated Jandal is NZ made, unlike most of them out there!
*Clarification - Hamilton made, unsure if Hamilton is part of NZ or not...lol
