OK, for all you HOLDEN fans, yeh yeh, bloody HOLDEN WON.
But even a FORD fan like me was happy to see LOWNDES and SKAIFEY WIN. My two favourite drivers, even though they both drive HOLDEN.
I gotta say I reckon MARK SKAIFE is probably the BEST driver AUSTRALIA has ever had, and I think a far better driver than BROCK ever was. The history books dont give him the pizaz that BROCK got, but it would be hard for anyone to rate SKAIFEY anthing but AN AMAZING DRIVER, and one of the nicest and professional blokes u could ever meet. Seeing him win another BATHURS absolutely made my weekend. Couldnt have happened to a nicer bloke. Also, one of the best wet weather drivers ever born.
Anyway, cant wait for next years BATHURST.
p.s- remember when Moffat used to drive that Rotary (wankel engine) , and then there was George Fury in 1982/83 ?? who actually won pole in that turbo charged Nissan Bluebird 4 cylinder !! A few memorable moments for motors other than the heavy V8's.
ps- 2 - about brock hitting a tree, shit happens, i am sure he is up in heaven hoping people will have a laugh with a beer instead of a cry.
