dorme said: Shipper said: StripeyMaita, Gary Handa may be damned to hell, but not because he bought an Australian V8 with pure racing pedigree built on the backbone of touring car racing that included Walkinshaw Bathurst 1000 challenges, but because he did not hit that smug prius driver square in the nose! A Land Rover Discovery V8 produces less green house gasses in a 20 year life cycle than a prius produces during its fabrication alone. Then you burn brown coal to power your power stations to produce non green energy to charge the prius. Then at the end of its battery life you need to find some way of discarding highly toxic batteries and then, produce more (while adding to the green house affect). He should have hit you in the nose for being a racist pig. My wife is not called Sheila, she’s called Yesdear. Wait…. You have a hybid? One that produced untold quantities of greenhouse gasses just to fabricate it? Then he should have hit you in the nose again. Not once damned, not twice damned but thrice damned. Wait wait, you already had your track day period in your life and now you are denying others, to save a Polar Bear? If I knew what came after Thrice you would be damned to that number as well!!! Finally, the NCAP rating of a holdern commodore is 5! Here’s the link Mr. “I make out with Polar Bears”, http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.as... which is a damn site better than my Land Rover Discovery II, which can only make a wheezily 3! Quite honestly I’ve run out of exclamation marks to explain just how many times you Sir (and I use that term as loosely as possible) are damned!!!!!!!............ crap.. the guy was blatantly joking mate, chill out! So was I. Tried to match his dry humour. Note someone else stated that they cannot tell if he was serious. How did you get that he wasn't serious but I was? Mayhaps my wife's name, a little too realistic for us all!!!!

Fame at last eh Gary?!!  The car is a credit to you. I love the subtle mods you've done since you bought it too. And for the person who wanted a picture of a red one, here's my old car.....

I just noticed as I passed the VXR8 which parks up our street that it's sporting a 'Bathurst S' badge on the back.
I'm guessing you can just buy the badge or it may it actually be the real I-Am?

s m said: What time did you run? Can't honestly remember, but nothing tremendous, it was totally standard except for the exhaust and air intake. I was there more to meet the other owners than to run the car. The HSV and Monaro forum on here is a great community and is one of the best things about having one.

There's a register at http://www.vxronline.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?58... which includes Bathurst and Bathurst S cars.
