Hoony the megastar
« on: October 28, 2008, 08:39:44 pm »
I just finished watching MXTV and the 5 or 6 minute segment Macca did in Hoonys shed was fantastic. Macca, Belly and MXTV should be congratulated for a fantastic effort. They must have a small budget though because there was obviously no makeup on set, a couple of rough melons if ever I saw one. Onya guys, great effort.

That's a great tactic Hoony, he certainly made you look good. He does a great interview though, it came across great.

yes all jokes aside, macca is very good at this sort of thing. He will visit 2 more sheds for this series apparently and then who knows if it will continue from there. Brendan Bell is interested in VMX and has a 1989 CR250RK to have a play with us for '09 series, so it may play on. there is no lack of interesting blokes and bikes down here, so plenty of material for the segment.

i hope it becomes a regular general interest segment on MXTV as it does a bit of promotion as well for our sport.

when you down here next mate?

That sounds great.
Anyone know if there's an opportunity to buy a copy of that segment?
I'd love to see it and any future ones.

Great Interview Hoony

If I was allowed in the shed with a broom & a large rubbish bin, our shed would look as neat as yours Hoony, but I'm barred  ;D

well Mrs Maico the shed is the domain of Blokes and Blokey stuff you know  ;), Mrs Hoony is also banned, (althought i know she has done some covert operations in the shed when i have been away  >:( ).

i told her that i won't play in the Tupperware cupboard with the collection of 253 special containers  ???, upset the broom closet, rearrange the Linen cupboard or touch the bathroom (all Sheila's domains) if she stay's out of the shed.


PS don't mention this to her as i do enjoy my sex life.  ;D

Macca is a natural interviewer.  Great effort first up. 

Didn't know you were into speedway Hoony... I'm a big speedway fan from way back (went every week when I was in the UK as a little kid).  The old man has tuned a lot of Weslakes & Jawas in his time, too.

A very neat shed is unnatural and disturbing ! :D What's Foxtel  let alone MXTV ????
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
