re: re-fueling, thats racing you make a dud calculation its your fault. Just like Greg Murphy a week or two ago. He ####ed up (or more like his strategists) so he lost the race THATS RACING!!

If Holden cant build a decent 5 litre then they cant go and swivel. The mountain is a bloody tuff event and it breaks cars (Ford have had their share), if you lead for 150 laps and she blows up you dont win, the bloke who makes it first over the line after 161 is the winner.

XB/XC are very similar, but there are a lot of diferences. I currently own both models. Although they use the same floor pan and basic look (some sheet metal differences) there are little things that piss me off that wont change over! Examples are the brake light switch on the brake pedal, the indicator stalk, so many times I thought I will just swap some gear over from the XC into the XB but it ####s me to find it never is quite that easy. Thank god for Datto's!!! Parts from completely diferent models just bolt up, gotta love em.

Sorry if I got excited, I love my Fords, Holdens dont even rate with me. Im not totally one-eyed when it comes to all cars tho ( I love my Datto's and Jap imports, see-GTR Skyline). Lets just see how Bathurst pans out come October.

Cheers
