Well - actually - I have been to AUS well over 20 times and have another business in SYD - I have been a racing fan for many years and I love AUS - Port Douglas used to be my favorite haunt until investors set it - and no I do not know what you are refering to - but my website is dedicated to the upcoming stars over here - and Marcos is one hell of a great guy. You should all be proud!

Check up on you're mate now and then - he's giving it a great go

'Ambrose'

And yes we like him too... well now we do, when he was fighting with Murph up on the mountain he was being an arse... but i dont expect you'll know what im talking about, so carry on

Being an arse must = taking issue with Murph for being his typical F-wit self. :)

If your ingterested in a crew position with NASCAR = go to www.thehotlap.com and look at forum NEW BUSCH TEAM

Might be an opportunity for any of you in that position

To be honest I've been following Marcos Ambrose this season in NASCAR and surprisingly it has got me interested in NASCAR. Ambrose is currently 10th in the Busch series standings and 2nd rookie. He's had a couple of bad rounds the last few weeks but this week they race on the F1 circuit in Montreal and next week is Watkins Glen... a couple of road courses should be good for him.

Seriously as a fan of all motorsports I never thought I could ever like NASCAR... dinosaur cars (still with carbies), circle racing, etc. But this year (I have Foxtel) I've found it 10 times more interesting than V8supercars or F1. Still can't watch a whole circle race start to finish but they pass each other so many times on a lap... and they race week in week out. In F1 they qualify in position then spread out over the race with the occasional pass in the pits (last weeks race excluded).

+1

that is, until I did some reading on the history of it. One of the2 best "birth of motorsport" stories eva!!

Go Ambrose.

and Murphy is STILL a dick

all i will say ... that following him in the busch series is like watching another bloke .... He shows respect in NASCAR while in our SUPA V8 series he acted constantly like a whining kid.

wonder if the yanks know about his little extra wire hanging out the motec m800 >_<

Good luck to him

LOL you ran out of people to quote, so you quoted yourself

awesome

I guess that was prety lame - LOL

Having good fun anyway. I'm very interested in the V8 Supercar series over there - can anyone point me to a good website so I can follow it around and check things out. Least I can do for everyone following Ambros over here and www.thehotlap.com

I will be down under sometime in March or late February and would love to go to a race - in fact I will make it a point.

Cheers

Yeah I was never a fan of oval racing until last year when we got to race on the dome at Calder Park as part of the Calder Rally Masters. Going flat out around there was intense and that was 1 car out at at time. So doing it with other cars 5cm's away all around you must take some serious big ones.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
