If you want to see an example of the Kiwis Vs Aussies, look at the sulkies that people are racing in on both sides of "the ditch" dumb Aussies paying big bucks for "speed sulkies" and Kiwis still setting records in their homeland wth timber sulkies that were banned in Oz twenty bloody years ago!!!!!
Cheers,
