Tom Walkinshaw at Mount Panorma

[R80HSV]

I came across this last night. I had to share this with you guys.The Boss as he was called ....Tom W at his best. It made me shake with glee as I watched him drive his big Jaguar V12 around the Bathurst Track. God you have to have the Biggest Balls ever to race a bloody ill handling big car like this around the Mount.

Like to know what you guys think...?

Check at 1.13m . Its good job Tom W never heard him being called an Englishman .. and watch as the Jag goes on two wheels..

It is great footage and he certainly was a great driver.

But his will always be 'the' Bathurst videos of that era for me:

The only time in 12 years I managed to visit Bathurst and saw the Jaguars win,Goss was taped into a broken seat to take the win with Walkinshaw second after a broken oil cooler the third Jaguar broke down very early in the race just after the start finish line epic weekend
