LOL, his Mum Sharon is usually the one cooking them all … never seen Russell do it. :D

DJR should retire Will Davidson and get Todd in full-time!

One of the all time great Bathurst races yesterday. The last two hours you could not look away.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

In fairness, I did, but I also did come back to it when it got to the pointy end. Great end to the race though.

Garry Rogers has sadly passed away, aged 80. The Supercars Hall of Fame member, former driver and long-time team boss played a pivotal role in Australian motorsport, helping launch the careers of Garth Tander, Steven Richards, Scott McLaughlin and many more.

Had a 2007 AFL GF party at a friends in the inner east, next morning (understandably feeling pretty good about the day before) left a huge skid in my old VL (loved that car) and got a swift msg "you cant do that here mate its the eastern suburbs not the north" - stuff em I say! Hope the F35 does a few low passes just to really rattle their windows.
