Love my touring cars, but the last few years have been a bit of a farce and they are both practically the same car now.
Bugger being nights. Watched the first 2 hrs and then had to crash for night shift. Woke up at 1 and saw Ford POS still winning so went back to sleep.
Even with a bang from Clownes Murph still finished 2nd.

Got to be honest I dont mind Lowndes, nice bloke as is Stevie Johnson.
Glad that dipstick Courtney was kept back in 3rd.

As my wfe said "At least Lowndes name is the only name on the Peter Brock trophy still, not another d/h Ford driver".

Went in 97 for what was supposed to be Brockies last race. Had an absolute ball, no sleep, got to meet most of the drivers. As said you have to spend the week. Must be time to take my kids next year.

Sorry, motor"sport" is not for me cobbers.

**LandyAndy** · 12th October 2008, 10:23 PM

Come on Craig,only a holden can go from pole to 24th by the first corner

Towards the end I thought they were going to run out of them,falling off the track all over the show.Even The Enforcer couldnt keep his supercrap together

Onya to Murphy,did well to keep it together for second despite the pit crew telling him to cool it down.
Onya Lowndes,into the 3 in a year club. 4 UP NEXT YEAR

GO THE FORDS!!!!

Go the Holdens but congrats to Lowndes and whincup on a great drive . Also a great drive by Richards and Murph finishing second . No longer a ford v's holden race as they are both the same rig just with different shells ...... bring back the production car race i say

I went to the caravan and camping show in Adelaide a couple of years ago. 1 camper manufacturer was telling me how they brought in a couple of their new designs to Bathurst, just to try out.....with the water tanks full of Jim Beam.

The one place nobody looked.

I heard he made a nice little profit at the same time too.

Yep all the Wannabe Ford supporters have come out of their holes, the last couple of years.
Look at the last 30 odd years and see if you can come up with the same statement, I think not.

What about 200-2005 all Holdens.
Anyway as said they are not really Holden or Ford any more. Same cars just different shells.

Bring back production car racing.
