Very likely Brenken, I'll have to hunt thru the pics tomorrow at work, coz I left my CF card there :)

Here is a link to what should be the video of the crash; however its been cut in typical channel 9 news style, the footage was taken by Prime TV Orange, I saw it on the local news last night... from what I could tell he dropped a rear passengers side wheel off the track, which flicked him sideways & started to turn over when he hit the grass, and then slammed into the kitty littler which produced the roll that ripped the car apart.

I also did a dodgy record of the laptop screen with the digicam, so I'll upload it & throw it in.

not very well if you saw him on today tonight.

2 massive black eyes (to a point where he was blind from the swelling for 3 hours)

Shit eh, someone said he looked pretty crook after it...

AND he had to put up with TT... :) I recon if I flipped any car at 250kph and came out with a headache and 2 black eyes I'd be happy.

wow those times are amazing.

we raced bob pearson's big $$ evo it our little old GTR back in october and beat him

and here he is topping the timesheets at bathurst.

man I wish they would let cars older than 5 years old into this event (like 17 years old would be nice). reckon we would finish top 3 if we made it to the end.

I wish i had recorded it it was one of the best races i have seen in ages, well done to ch 7 for the great coverage.

I couldn't believe how these guys were driving for a 12 hour race. Some of the overtaking moves were absolutely great.

It was nice of ch7 to broadcast this however I find it annoying to watch. When they compress 12hrs into 3hrs it's like watching a movie in fast forward.

I'd rather they show the first hour and the last 2hrs of racing so that you can actually follow it properly without constantly skipping parts.

i didn't mind it, i would have preferred to know the remaining time through the telecast as it made it harder to understand strategies ect as you weren't sure if there was 1 or 5 hours left of the race. After all unlike the V8's there was plenty of action all race

The constant stops for the info-mercials was a waste of time. I was watching for the racing not to buy dog ice cream

and the radio chat was great, I don't think Mr Morris was to happy with the HSV.

Anyone else think the guy with the bear was driving a bit dangerously? as we saw on the inboard he was stuffing about with the bear and ran off the road, he was lucky there weren't any other cars around him

one of the integra's can't remember the driver, going down the straights he was picking it up and waving it about, he did it down conrod and the looked over and picked it up again coming into murrays and ran off the road. Personally i don't think its the safest thing to wave and play with stuffed animals whilst traveling at high speed around other cars

Benm, in the v8's they aren't allowed to swear, all team chat is monitored and there have been quite a few penalties given out to drivers and teams for using course language. This is all done due to the team frequencies being published on the V8SC web site so there could be little kiddies listening (and the live cuts to the chat)

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
