Rusty, the Falcon XR8 looks KEWL!

I used to live 40k from Bathurst. Went to the race every year, ah they were good times.
Who do you think will win tomorrow rusty? The usual holden win? Or maybe a Ford upset?
Should be a good race.

Go the Holden

Hey any aussies see the news update?

"Today a nightclub in bali was bombed, there is expected to be atleast 100 fatilities thats coming after Bathurst"

We have priorities

[sven222]

sbs is actually the only channel that covered the bali bombings. Figures..

[TheBurningCat]

SBS is the best channel out there.

hehe, good to see it has some followers
although they show crank yankers, I love that show

Saw some of Bathurst coverage. Plastic bags won, I reckon.

Gotta feel for Seton and his crew - plastic bag prolly stuffed his car. And Ingall's mob ALMOST had the same fate - they managed to keep it running to cross the line.

Pretty variable weather there today - typical outback NSW.

Bali bombings look pretty grim. Lots of Aussie rules footy players in that club, celebrating end of season. Might be end of more than that for some of them.

Hope they catch the buggers that did it.

Cheers
Mick
