Barry Blue

He has the power, finally

I'm still in the young bracket too! (50) I have centre mufflers removed and tried rear muffler removed for a while, sounded sh!t hot idling at the lights, but just a bit too much drone on the highway for me , so now I have two small sports mufflers (one each side) on the back, and I reckon its just right

If they had any sense they would try and get Chris Alajajian, he is very young and wins every category of racing he enters. For example: GT production...........first season 1st in a WRX STI Production series......first season 1st in a Liberty GT Formula 3................second race ever.....came 2nd .......third race 1st Then he was given a go of V8 Late model camira in Fujitsu Series, Crapp car, Crapp Team with no sponsors at all and showed he could progress through the field, was also the first car to come over the hill at Bathurst last year when Mark Porter was killed, but Chris took evasive action which only just clipped the car in the middle of the track, unfortunately it was the next car that cleaned Mark up.

Yeh, Redback beer, made on wheat :oohwoah: I enjoy Kilkennys when the oportunity arises But for every day beer I like Crownies or Cascade Premium. Had Stella for the first time last week and was quite impressed.

Sounds like the walk would do you good! But probably too late for that advice now, lets hope your not locked up somewhere, or even worse , wrapped around a tree. :fear (5):

All the above is good advice :fear (5): I find the brush too hard to use, so I always use a toothpick to drop the paint in. Works for me!

Time will tell......

I dont have to turn mine off because the first moment I give more than about 50% throttle taking off (wet or dry) it automatically shuts off and cant be switched back on until the car is restarted. I only wish they had it so the light was OFF when TC was off.

I love the blue too, but I guess its all about being an individual, and it WOULD be unique having the red car with red guages. No matter what the factory does, theres always someone trying to change it, just to be different from the rest, for e.g. some put bigger spoilers on the back and others put smaller or take them off all together, same goes with badges etc. As Marsha Hines says on Idol.............."be true to yourself boyfriend"

Ya tight ass Although he's still got 14 km range left yet???? Looks like a bit of work there , but well worth it

I think its that arial ping pong GO the COWBOYS!

I won't even get in a Expensive Daewoo taxi, just wave em past and wait for a Ford one to come along Saw on the news the other night, the traffic jam in Sydney, and they interveiwed a Dunnydore taxi driver because his car overheated in the slow traffic, IN POURING RAIN!

I'll third that!

If your enjoying your car now!, then wait til you get the edit. And soooo cheap now at $595, considering I paid $1300 plus $400 for custom tune. Once that boost starts to go up you will need to re-gap your plugs and get some stronger clamps on you inter-cooler hoses, plenty of info in search Oh tell the missus to be careful in the wet, cause my custom tune overrides traction control, some do some don't

We all live in hope, Wishful thinking? maybe, but that's what lifes all about my friend.....................and now I can go to bed and dream of driving my new 375kw XR8 Orion around.

There are certain people out there that would think James Courtney going head to head against the likes of Patty Newton in what promises to be a fierce action packed competition, a very interesting and important news topic.......... I'm just not sure where they are, that's all

..........would be good........... But it aint gonna happen

Felix, don't let him anywhere near it, he has a tendency to hit kerbs and crack wheels.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of humor :bsflag:

I can assure you it's not by choice, Stone bros said your too old, too slow, too rich, now f#ck off

Stone Brothers Racing driver James Courtney has swapped his race boots for dancing shoes as he prepares to compete with nine other celebrities and sports stars on Channel Seven’s Dancing with the Stars. Courtney, who drives the JELD-WEN Motorsport Falcon in the V8 Supercar Championship Series, has been in intensive training for the past week with his dance partner Olya Bourtasova. The JELD-WEN driver has only a short time to polish up his moves before his first performance on the top rating show, fitting his dance training around his racing commitments with the next V8 Supercar round, the Sandown 500, on 14-16 September. Courtney’s crew say that he is one of the more relaxed drivers around pit lane, likely to be joking around only seconds before stepping into his race car. But the 27-year old admits that there were plenty of nerves on his first day of dance training. “Normally I’m not nervous at all before a race or in front of cameras because it’s what I do,” says the Gold-Coast based Courtney. “But my first day of training I was a fish out of water. This is totally different for me and the thought of dancing in front of even a couple of people was terrifying. “Slowly I am relaxing into it and gaining confidence. The Cha Cha is a fun dance and kind of suits my personality. I’m having a bit of trouble with the Tango though; it’s all very serious and I feel so uncoordinated. Trying to put on a serious face when I look that silly is pretty hard.” V8 Supercar drivers work hard on their fitness and Courtney is no exception. The JELD-WEN Motorsport driver runs and rides many kilometers each week to maintain the stamina needed to handle a 1350kg car at speeds of up to 300km/h with cabin temperatures often reaching up to 60 degrees celcius. He says the fitness required for ballroom dancing is completely different from his usual regime. “I have pains in muscles that I didn’t realize I had. For once in my life I am getting a calf muscle which I think is fantastic. I get teased about my skinny legs so anything that gives me some shape I’m up for! Typical of Courtney’s perfectionist attitude, he has been pushing himself and his dance partner to the limit. “Olya asked to stop training yesterday because she was too tired so it does show how fit V8 Supercar drivers are. She says that it is frustrating dancing with me because I want everything perfect and I will work at it and at it until its right.” While there are plenty of high profile contestants involved in the seventh series of Dancing with the Stars, Courtney is hoping that V8 fans will get behind him. “I’m really hoping that not only Ford fans but all V8 Supercar and motor sport fans in general will get behind me. My worst nightmare is being the first person to leave the show so please, get behind me and vote!”

Stone Brothers are after Will Davison at this stage, but they also have the option of there development series driver, up and coming " Jonathan Webb". Time will tell
