Guys do you know nothing of the all mighty at the famous mountain.

The fans were booing because the race was rained out and many cars crashed at the top of the mountain leading onto conrod straight, the gtr being one, so the officials went the the last lap before it was flash flooding being 2 laps prior when the (Gentleman Jim Richards and Mark Skaife) GTR was in the lead so they handed the honour to them. So the moron Holden wankers booed, and Jim wasnt impressed with the quote "Pack of arsholes".

By the way I didnt downlaod the link. Just assuming the race you guys are talking about.

The GTR was and still is the king of the mountain, The lap record still being in the possesion of Mark Skaife in the r32gtr.

I just wish I was old enough when the GTR's were racing. I was 8-9... :P

hmmm...when I must have been 6 or maybe a bit older.. maybe younger.. I remember for christmas I got the bathurst slot car set. Only when I started getting into skylines (about 15 years old ) did it dawn on me that I had those little beasts all along haha.. It came with the r32 brock GTR and another GTR no idea who drives it though.. In my stupidity I coloured in the brock one black.. :thumbsup: Might have to wip out the metho sometime soon hehe.. It's good fun though setting up the old slot car track and hittin the mountain with the GTR's all the power in my hand haha

You assumed wrong. This is the 91 Bathurst where the GTR was the first car to cross the line no ifs no buts in a record time of 6hrs 19 min. The crowd was booing because they are ghey and did not like the fact that the GTR won. The pack of assholes was 92....the GTR also ran at the mountain in 1990 but broke down when in the lead :O

And it is the race record not the lap record that is held by the GTR

The 91 GTR ran a 2m 12s lap to get pole

Lowndes ran a 2m 8.59 lap for pole last year

The 91 GTR would not have been in the top 10 shoot out last year. The main reason it holds the race record is that the rules regarding yellow flags have changed and the safety car has been introduced since that time...all of wich means the GTR will probably hold the race record for a long time to come

So there you have it kids, it appears that the oracle of all things on "the all mighty at the famous mountain" could stand to learn a little :D

Try downloading the whole Divx play bundle here. http://www.divx.com/divx/play/download/?hp3playdl It worked for me!

Thanks Bunta, was looking good until it told me that it won't support Me or Win98. I'm soooo close...will se if I can get it on the laptop which has Win2000.

Must be worth it... :ermm:

i am no authority on aus racing GTRs but i'm pretty sure brock never raced in one. I think you may have yourself a brock commodore... now painted black.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing! He did drive a seirra in 1990 though after the fallout with HDT over the infamous brock polariser!!! So maybe that is what was part of the set?? I could look kind of like a GTR....maybe :

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
