I must admit, I am a bit lost for words tonight. Fords decision earlier this year didn't thrill us Ford fans..... V8 Supercars like NASCAR have little relevance to the showroom cars we buy. There are so many drivers across both camps that we admire for their skill and personality. Who would deny Peter Brock the championship status that he earned....not me. Garth Tander, never met him but hey, I like him....Ford buy him!!!!! Said some months ago that Whincup wasn't a fan of mine and some members on this forum gave me a hard time. Still don't like him. He's like Kelly, something just isn't right..... Bottom line, it's always about money...not saying it's necessary a wrong thing, but in such a passionate area, it's tuff to swallow. If I was offerred a bigger job with all the benefits that go with it, would I knock it back......would you??? I've bought tickets to the V8's at Homebush and can't wait to be part of that event, but it will be a weekend of mixed emotions. There's more to this story than what has come out so far, and no doubt more will come to light over the comimg weeks, Sandown talk back will be feverish I expect, will record it for sure, just really down to be honest. Don't see it as a positive move. Will contimue to support Lowndes in 2009, but yer, wind knocked out of my sails. It's a bit like chevy emblems on Commodores, just isn't right. Change happens,...now I'm sounding like a consultant....IT'S WRONG.
