    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.

    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.

    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...
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    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!

    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.
    Riding cheap crappy old bikes badly since 1987

    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)...

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

    Will there be motorcycle racing?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
