Well the roughie that just may get up this year is.....djr. They have signed some more good sponsors (some razor blade mob & 3 mobile), got a couple of 888 chassis on order, some rough head called Courtney to drive for them so they should be set for a good year.

As a side interest it will be interesting to see how the two Davo's go. One up against the yocal hero Tander at HRT & the other against Jason Bright.

Of the Holden teams, maybe HRT will return to form but in all honesty it is hard to see any others making an big impact. The Kelly outfit will be too new

Sprint Gas will doubtless blow hot & cold again

The Jones brothers may step up with Richards on board (Providing they can find the wherewithall to spend the dollars necessary to run Walkinshaws wagons)

Maybe Ingalls Indian summer will continue.

Of the Ford teams, well FPVs form is harder to pick than a broken nose.

888 will doubtless be strong.

DJR are on the up.

Stone brothers may well improve with Bright there to help set the things up.

Be interesting to see how Paul Cruickshanks team get on also.

The serious money is on Tony Cohrant continuing to carry on as his name suggests.

Go Rick Kelly; is the new Kelly team confirmed; one of the articles at www.v8supercars.com.au about the new 'fast' tyres said that HSVDT's driver Rick Kelly had tested the tyres; maybe that was last year..?

Brighty is getting desperate.

FPR are a force,,,but they just keep loosing the plot.

Frosty can win,,,but he and the team keep dropping the ball at the wrong end of the year.

Mark needs to have a really good long talk to his old man sooner than later.

Neil.

They have closed.

I did notice that you can buy both of there cars with engines as last raced for 300k, or you can buy 2 ford rally cars for 300k, GB anyone :D

Qualifying has just started, you can watch it free on the v8supercar website

Natsoft shows Whincup in P1 after Friday practice.

Other noteable performances are:

Jason Richards in the BOC Commodore in P3 & both djr cars in the top ten.

Rick Kelly will doubtless be blubbing somewhere.

Oh & thank fk the alcopops senate amendments got chucked out. Otherwise no more Jim Beam sponsorship for djr & no Jack daniels for the Kelly clan. Not to mention the XXXX girlies.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
