    What's the beer limit this year?

    I remember last (few?) years when they introduced it people were sneaking in the week before and burying cases of beer! The 2 box limit wasn't enough

    Duct tap every where and fire extingushers to the radiator when in the pit...That was a hoot to watch

    Somebody brought me back from last years race all the posters and crap they could snaffle. Not sure what exactly, it's in a cardboard tube, some of it may be signed but not sure, haven't looked at it. Found it last night and was going to toss it, but I suppose it'll be collectable one day? You want?

    I think it was the race at Bathurst the Jags won that he was leading until the Swedish Taxi struck problems

    What pisses me off is that TV3 aren't playing it in HD. Nothing better than cranking up the stereo....

    Yes I'm poor and can't afford sky.

    Actually, when they've won 10 more without Holden winning a single time, MAYBE Ford can claim the mountain.

    To late mate we already claimed it back in 71 with the GTHO ,not so much the win but the HO went a large way to changing things from stock formula to what we have today.End of the day these days who wins matters little to me its more about the day though a Ford win puts a smile on my face,that and an early Murphy exit would make the day completeFor my money its Vodafone V the rest but thats the thing with Bathurst eh,anything can happen.
