I never knew tbh. Question is, how come I never knew? Not far from me, many people ive known over the years around this area who have owned cossie's/rst's etc never mentioned Tony either for live mapping. I used to have a turbosystems chip in my old series1 rep many years ago (think they called it the no limits chip) along with the TurboSystems sticker straight across my back window as many did around mid-late 90's

I dont think its that hes tight. Hes probably just worried that if he was a paid up trader, his ex wife would be entitled to half the money. Coz I'm pretty sure she didnt get much when they split up

I never knew or never even heard him mentioned in the 'elite' few who could live map Cossies!

Fair play to him, if he was nearer I'd go there!
