The Crash Test Dummy noted where the Shell Series ended and the Konica series began in his post.
Chances of a regular appearance of a second Paul Morris Motorsport Commodore are slim, especially if Owen Kelly was maintaining his connections with the HRT Young Lions program next year. The car Kelly drove at Bathurst (briefly) will probably be on the amrket shortly as it's considerably older than the teams VT and a year or two older than the VS the was destroyed at Oran Park.
Cromley has a long connection with the Forbes family, which goes back to end of 1992 when after being impressed with Cromley's drive in the sister Nissan GT-R to the one Bob Forbes was running for Mark Gibbs, Forbes offerred the ride in his new Gibson build GIO Commodore to Cromley after Gibbs announced his full time racing retirement due to business commitments. He raced that season with Forbes before Forbes sold the team to Wayne Gardner.
Forbes has two V8Supercar franchises and the team wants to expand (supposedly). Crompton completes the jigsaw very nicely indeed.
