I thought that it might be interesting to have some live forum commentary and an ongoing discussion throughout the day on the progress of the race...

I've got a laptop setup in fromt of the TV, plenty of food and coldies and am comfortably setup for the day.

Go the Fords!!

All primed and ready to go

Anyone up for a bet....which sand trap will Skaife end up in first?

First corner sandtrap has his name all over it !!

im ready. this should be a good one.

the weather seems fine on the telly not too hot.


skaife into the wall on forest<gump>elbow.

First corner, first lap, off the start .... anyone give me 100 to 1 odds? I bet a dollar ...

It would be a real shame to see the HRT garage packed up by midday like last year

So who is going to win ?

Absolutely NFI

I recon Little Dick is in for a good chance ...

"Who Is Watching Bathurst And Sitting On The Forum"
yes i am guilty too

Well, seeing as our rugby players are up to F-all, I'll cheer on the Kiwis in Bathurst (But only the ones in a Ford!).

Three fat ladies 888

Nice prang with the Porches ... the guy just pulled out in front of the other faster car that was looking to pass.

Dangerous rich buggers!! NFI !

Im watching.
I wish someone would knock out that stupid pr*ck in bottle shop add he's driving me nuts already.

I like some of the supercheap adds though.

FORD

THE NEW COBRAS ARE ON THE TRACK

Ahhhh ! ... the ads. Good topic.

How about that Holden ad. Holden Calais BFYB car of the year two years in a row? I thought it was the SS.

I guess that makes the Omega a BFYB car of the year too!

So what have they got? They sound ok.

Good to see a bit of ford exposure for a change.

FPV website is down....good work Ford

Wheel inserts painted white ! ... Mmmmm, I dont like that.

Big deal. 302? (I'm guessing 302 fwkw)

How can they put the Cobra name on such an ordinary car.

I think they look nice.

fpv website is back up

as the cars went around the track, the web-site went live with the cobra

Mmmmm ... GT - R spec? .... GTR? ---> I miss my R32 !

So when are they going to release the GT HO? ... I hope it has a bit more that 302 KW.

I know that the GT boys love the numbers and I am sure that all 400 will sell but cmon FPV... give us a factory V8 that comes with some street cred not just some stripes and a few extra horsepower.

I will stick to my XR6 taxi !

that woud be cool! Ford GT-R!

I cant agree with that one ... GTR belongs to the Nissans (ok maybe the toranas too).

GT HO is the right name for the Fords.

What are you trying to say?

agreed, GTR is reserved for nissan, the new one is out soon, GT-HO will be a couple of years, if they do it right...

Let's hope they whack on a supercharger from the factory ... That might sway me to upgrade.

I'm out of lease and itching for an upgrade but am not tempted by anything on the market at the moment but then again I'm still having fun with the ol'taxi ...

Dont take it to heart,just agree with your comment

ok ... I just dont understand what you meant by ... What did I say?

he likes your taxi jp...

rightio ...

Cant wait for the race to start! Like many others !!

The dodo ad has my vote for the best ad so far !

OMG SORRY

Sorry? What for? ... It's that chucky doll face that is pretty agressive!

Go Jimmy !

darwin sportsbet has holden $1.75 fav and ford@ $2.05, the 888 car is paying $4.50 to win.

5 mins to go

Wish I was there

i'm so happy i found that link! normally i can't get video at work, i'm in heaven!

I like the add with the "Turbo" barbie ... Needs an XR6 Badge !

I'm nervous, one last piss and I'm glued to the lounge !

sorry i ment

Fckin Barnes oughta be shot for draggin that squawker on the track....she may be his daughter but that doesnt mean we have to be forced to listen to it....

Me .. Stupid again? ... I better crack open another beer!
