He still lives in a million dollar unit across the road from me

I read somewhere that it's a rental, not sure how true it is

Steve just had his property up for auction and it didnt sell as of yesterday. By the look of him at Ipswich he has no plans to drive a v8 anytime soon. Better get on a bike before the 1000 otherwise he won't fit in a merc. Lol

Maybe, maybe not. Regardless the rent would be more than your average mortgage anyway  8)

Hopefully chaz and Scott keep it up, but it is starting to become all about qualifying.  Bring on the enduros where some passing and tactics come into it

was really good to see the young guys get up on Sunday.........and whingecup fall over  ;D

It was also very good to see that the potential of the mercs is starting to show, I think they are going to end up at the pointy end before the nissans get there which speaks volumes for the effort that Betty is putting in considering how little prep time they have had.

Do yourself a favour, even if you do not support the mercs, subscribe to Betty's facebook page, she is a breath of fresh air into the V8 padock

I agree with all that Craig. It was good to see a couple of different faces on the podium.

Watch for Benz/AMG to step in once the team starts getting consistently good results........

You'd think they could bung in a spare and get it going again.

It was crook to see Loundes so far back in the pack. I only caught the very end bit of it, so missed all the action.

Was it Moppet in the Nissan or the other bloke that won it.

They raced to put a spare in but realised by the time they finished the repairs, he wouldn't have completed 75% race distance to be classified..............HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA.

My money's on Bright for a win in Race 26 today.

Did anyone notice how Whincup twice mentioned the Nissans had a boost with their fuel?

Yet the commentators mentioned the different fuel mix was about economy and didnt effect performance. Also Nissan have released a statement on social media in regards to it and claim the different mix is 100% the same as everyone elses mix as far as power goes and have the scientific proof of this. They must have copped some flack.
For me, if it was anything to do with better fuel then the Kelly boys would have been up there as well. Its a game of fractions of a second especially at Winton and the Kellys missed it by a fraction like others did.

Although they are a crafty bunch, I wouldnt mind betting they sat back and waited to see how the yellow cars went. A little bit of foxing and not showing all your cards before the enduros just in case the new fuel gets pinged perhaps?

I reckon it is so closely scrutinised and regulated the nissan could not have a power gain from the fuel.
Also the nissan top speed was slower than both the Holden (4kph) and Ford (3kph).
I guess they just handle the corners at Wilton better?

i recon if I was the boss at the nissan camp i would get rid of the kelly brothers, they havnt finished will in years.

i guess thats why they bought the team and then got nissans, so they can keep driving for a few more years.but its almost time for them to step aside and use the upcoming drivers.

one more year and if they cant improve then they should step aside.



yes i know the kelly brothers own the team and i know they wont sack themselves.
