Expensive Daewoo has had a strangle hold on the series.On a bad day he still beats half the field! He can drive. Good on him.Must admit I do get a small smile when things go wrong... :biglaugh: , but with that plonka R Kelly, I hope the little sh#t fails every time. That bloke has the Wrong attitude.Ingall has fired up Supercheap, (Morris and Murphy are wackos and should be punted) so maybe next year Skaife can improve the profile of one of the other lower teams?As to Lowndes & Whincup, the PR guys are all over them. Lowndes never says a bad word about anyone/thing. I really admire Lowndes and cheer for him every race. Even so, he is a genuine bloke and a real gentleman. Whincup on the other hand is another Skaife. He has a real arrogance and RKelly wrong attitude.Looking forward to a strong Ford finish this Indy weekend.Has anyone seen any Ford advertising off the back of the strong showing this year??

He has a real arrogance and RKelly wrong attitude.Are you serious???I've always though Whincup was just as humble as Lowndes. Watching V8 Extra last week just confirmed it, they were so un-arrogant with their three bathurst wins. If it was me I'd be swinging from the rafters telling everyone how good I am!
