Looking outside at a dreary, wind swept October day I can't help feeling that the grass in Oz may be greener
Nice little teaser there Paul. I look forward to any other feedback, reviews, photos.........basically anything that my over active imagination can use for fodder during the doldrums.
By the way, in isolation that R35 would sound immense but out with those thunderous V8's it sounded a little limp wristed.

Seeing that vid, I subscribed to another Sky package to get motors TV.
A quick look through their schedule and it's well worth it.

Glad I saw this, Bathurst is great to watch. Lucky enough to still be on the old Sky family pack which includes Motors TV

Just watched a FF race from a very wet Castle Combe.
The guy who came third was Josh Hill with London Rowing Club colours on his helmet. Very distinctive name and helmet. Excellent pedigree so bodes well for the future

Just got back from the raceday and i have to say this was the best single days spectating i've ever had!!!! lots of action, we all got wet, we dried out and then got wet again lol
Ohh and such an atmosphere! i don't know how much you all know about the aussie ford and holden fans rivalary but its truely a thing to behold, lots of cheering, booing and banter.
I made apoint of walking and taking the shuttle bus up the mountain to every spectator area there was and got some great footage, also at the end of the race everyone invaded the track..... thats a memory that i'll remember for along time, running down the main straight with 1000s of other race fans, i've edited some more footage of the whole raceday and am now uploading it, i should beable to post the link in a couple of hours once it finishes uploading.
I would write a better review but i've never been great with words haha
