Bathurst, who's doing what?

[98tls]

:woohoo:Big day Sunday,for many many years its been bbq/beers and good company watching the big bangers antics on the mountain,so it will be again on Sunday.Any others make a day of it?Always been a blue oval fan though as the years go buy just enjoy the day for what it is if Ford get a win its all good.No doubt the thread will attract the typical comments from those that cant wear a baseball cap the right way round but no problem there penance is a lowered Honda Civic.So anyone have plans,big screen in the shed etc?

[onearmedbandit]

And as for the baseball cap wearers,I'm looking forward to Nissan joining the party.The 60's 70's etc were the best with evrything from minis to chargers all out there doing it hard.:Punk:

[Subike]

The Last year of the Big Two..who will claim the title for the last time, Car?....... red/blue.... diver auzzie/kiwi.
Will our kiwi lad "The Guizz" be able to thwart the efforts of Ambrose and Skaffe.
Will the "over the hill" Murff survive and win ? only if the attrition rate of the better drivers is very high.
Where will the carnage be? the cutting, the elbow, ?????
I guess the only way to know will be to watch the race, in the way each of us enjoys the best.
Darkened room, full stereo sound, a case of burbon.....Hic :sick:

[hellokitty]

I will be riding with a bunch of ladies, having a blast while the men folk can watch tv or whatever.... don't care, won't be there... too busy riding without getting told off for going too fast etc etc :woohoo:

[FJRider]

With those feet you get my respect....:shutup:

Six toes on each foot ... less damage to the new track ..... <_<

[madandy]

A crate, big screen and bbq at a mates.
It aint what it was in the Group A days but its still a hell of a race.
I own a 450kw '92 Skyline GT-R and adored the E30 M3's but have continued to love the battles onthe mountain between the teams since Group A ceased. I cheer for Lowndes no matter what he drives. And the Kiwi drivers, of course.

Nice,had a real tasty R32 myself years back.Did cheer for Lowndes years back:shifty:Kiwi drivers yep always,except Murph,his tantys put me off long ago.

[98tls]

On the Skyline,many many years ago i was selling cars up in Wellington,a mate working on another yard sorted out the ground floor of a building opposite the pits (Wellington st race) and highlights of the day were watching the Skyline though suffering teething problems lap 5 seconds quicker than the Beemer (from memory) that won.From that day on i was determined to own one,and did.

[pzkpfw]

Bah. I'll be riding to Napier for work on Sunday. Only time the machine is down, to enable software testing. Will also miss the rugby.

On the bright side, I'll be riding to Napier on Sunday...

[madandy]

Broke a driveshaft didnt it, the GT-R?
I won a bet thathe M3 would win, though at the start of the race when the Nissan launched off around the first turn it looked most likely all others would soon be lapped!

[neels]

Either parked in front of the tv at home with beer, or parked in front of the tv at a mates place with beer, either way for the duration.

Tis the sacred day in our house, our children were told from a young age that on the chosen sunday, don't disturb dad he's watching the car racing.

Would like to see the tru blu falcon win, but djr way too slow, but at least it looks like a 3 horse race this year between 888/fpr/stone brothers.

Mate DJ wins every year in my books,strangely nobody else sees it.:confused::blink:True Legend.

[madandy]

Nah, he's still stuck down the bankin the gum trees:gob:

[Drunken Monkey]

Yep, BBQ, beer and the projector pretty much every year. I'm so slack these days I hardly watch other rounds, but always make the effort for the big race. Then spend the next week or so wondering what my Evo is worth as a trade on an XR8 or Clubby (depending on which way the wind blows)...

[Reckless]

Its religion in my house. My boy and I watch it every year. Bourbon, Kettle fries, Pizza an V8's.
Ha last year we even blacked out the windows on the inside with building paper :) :corn:
Great father son bonding time :Punk:

[Gremlin]

Hope Holden wins... usually see the odd bit, but not quite as enthralled... got a prep ride for Pink Ribbon to attend as well...

[Maha]

Normally only watch the last 20 or so laps.

[Murray]

What else but going for a ride on the bike with some mates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Latte]

BBQ and Beers at a mates place. Always ends up drinking Jim Beam and comiserating (Ford fans).

[James Deuce]

Will there be motorcycle racing?

[pzkpfw]

Will there be motorcycle racing?

Wanna go to Napier?

[scumdog]

Bugger your Bathhurst - I've got the orsome sound of hearty V8s revvin' and bellowing and making my hair stand on end, they're out on the Clutha river (but sound like they're right next door!) at the moment, practicing for the NZ Jet-boat Marathon,


Mmmm, life is good, today both bikes got brand new WOFs, I am having my 1st bourbon, Chrissy-Bimbo is cooking something and the air is blessed with the symphony of revving V8s...:woohoo::cool:

Ok.. Now if Dave says " fuck off AJ..."
I could pop around....
:facepalm:

[Subike]

neels would be a better option AJ, i don't think my small room could handle your huge ego,
actually, if an invite was given, then neels sounds like a great place to crash with a box of Bourbon

[ckai]

I'll be passing up a ride with this monkey...


What else but going for a ride on the bike with some mates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...to enjoy the biffo. The good thing is, at this stage, number 2-to be seems to be playing ball and not looking like she'll drop in tomorrow. I don't mind if it's all go tonight. Wifey will just be pushing for a TV in her room if that happens.

Also...

GO VOLVO!!!

:Punk: (shit, hang on, I'm out by a few years)

[James Deuce]

Thankfully not,next year possibly as there turning it into a fruit salad.

[bogan]

What time is the race start? Might be a good day to get some paperwork done in front of the telly.

[98tls]

About 1 our time i think,TV3 kicks off about 10 no doubt showing stuff they should have done live today.Far more important it seems that they stick to the normal Saturday dribble they show.:facepalm:

[98tls]

Bbqs on and a few Bourbons in the tank a few of us started reflecting so what better time to remember one of the greats,from one of the greats.http://youtu.be/NLO3Z7-9dzc

[Oakie]

I'll watch the first half hour then probably get bored and end up doing bad things with Mrs Oakie later on in the afternoon.

[madandy]

Straight into a couple of Holdens that had lost it in the rain too...

Remember the skyline had been running an intake restrictor and over 200kg of ballast to redress the performance advantage :laugh:

I' gonna go wash my truck & trailer, wash my Skyline, wish I had a bike to wash and sot down with beer and enjoy this race:Punk:

[Daffyd]

Wasn't on TV here, but managed to watch from about lap 90 on the computer. No interruptions for commercials!

[Swoop]

Sounds like a good race with an even better finish.

Poxy Thailand TV coverage is missing this event. Oh well, back to the pool and another beer...
