Paul,
Is it just me, or do their windshields rake backwards at a lower angle than the G8? The Trading Post is nice!

[MongosG8]

Really cool! Loving the nostalgic way their celebrating the 50th anniversary.

I can't believe he posted pics of Fords.

[MongosG8]

[Crazy Paul]

Anyone know how/if we can watch it from here (USA)? Weblink or something?

Thanks!

[MIEngineer]

Old F*rds and Holdens are pretty cool rides. Someone here brought an old Ute over and I've seen an old Mad Max Falcon [just not done up in Mad Max theme, luckily for the car]. I'd rock one all day.

Side note: The one thing I don't understand is the Aussie fascination with massive blowers.

Ok, so the old bird was his wife. Or mom. ;-/

[Crazy Paul]

Ok, so the old bird was his wife.
Yup long suffering wife. He wasn't short of younger options right up until his death at 61 yo.

V8 Supercars to provide live Bathurst coverage internationally
V8 Supercars has announced that they will be providing live race coverage of the 50th year of Bathurst to fans outside of Australia and New Zealand.
International fans will be able to watch the Bathurst 1000 live via the V8 Supercars website, which will be streaming the telecast using their official youtube channel (www.youtube.com/user/V8SupercarsOfficial).

In addition to this the race will be shown live or on delay in a number of international markets. Those outside Australia and New Zealand who don't have access to live coverage will be able to watch through the live streaming.

V8 Supercars CEO David Malone had the following to say about the expanded coverage: "Our switchboard has been in meltdown with people looking for digital options to watch the race which is why we have worked alongside Telstra BigPond to provide an additional live stream for people outside of Australasia. This will mean fans who aren't in international areas with fully live coverage that they can watch live on their PCs, tablets and mobile devices."

The Bathurst 1000, round 21 of the 2012 V8 Supercars Championship, will be held on Sunday at 10:30 AEST and will consist of 161 laps.
Race Duration approx 6Hrs.

Current Time in N.S.W. Australia = http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_AU-NSW.aspx

Cool videos & pics, Paul!

[-Ray-]

Watched all the videos. Thanks CP

[Crazy Paul]

Watched all the videos. Thanks CP
Excellent.
5 minutes till race starts.
Hope you guys can catch some of it live there.

[nadir]

Watching it on Youtube now. Speed will have the replay Mon. morning starting at 8AM. TBH, the stream is great because there are no breaks. When Channel 7 goes to break, the race keeps going, you just loose commentary momentarily.

[Crazy Paul]

Inside 20 laps to go, it's going to be a nail biting finish.

[Crazy Paul]

Incredible finish, final margin 1st to 2nd was 0.3seconds after 6 1/4Hrs of racing.
Any of 5 guys were in it right up to the end. Hats off to the green Ford guy pushing everyone to the limit.....first Ford on the podium for 4 years & well deserved.
