I reckon they're looking for another four cylinders.

Cheers Buck.

Dunno what they could be looking for under the bonnet, but if they looked inside Mr Rea's head, they'd likely not find anything!

If the guys all turn around, they'll see South Park's Kenny in the flesh...

Buckshot- what, to add to the two already in the engine?

This would be a very unlikely death sequence for Kenny....being run over by Mal as he tears away from his pit box in a cloud of tyre smoke

It would be in a cloud of smoke, but the smoke would probably be coming from under the bonnet rather than the wheel arches...

Elephino, and possibly a gate keeper to count him 5,376 times as he walks in....

Yep, I'm going...all 5,376 of me.

Caption:
"Anyone know what this metal thing in here is?"

P1: "What happens if I do this? <snap> Oh no, I broke it"
P2: "No one will notice"

To answer their question in 25 words or less...

They are looking for the spectators, I mean spectator...well me really.

The tracks really should do the Entertainment Centre thing: make all the seats different colours, so as to make it look - as the cars drive by - like there are loads of spectators...

Don't you remember the 500 last year at Bathurst....they had virtual billboards to cover up the virtually empty paddock...now they can't even afford to do that....

Yes, sadly I do remember that. Did you see them from where you were standing, elephino? If you were watching TV like the rest of us, you would have; it was more interesting than the race...

So, ah, which one are you, elephino? You're the only regular spectator at ASTC rounds, aren't you?

Or,

"Christ, where are the other four cylinders. Ok, no one panick, James you start counting and Thomas you take the socks of your left foot"

I mean why bother, the Brits should by now see the light

Moffat, didn't you commentate on the Super Tourers last year?

Give it a rest and go tell that rubbish to the V8 fan clubs; they'll listen to you. May I remind you that I am from Oz (God, how many times the Poms have reminded me this past five months!) and I've seen both V8 Supercars and Super Tourers at their very best.

In terms of all-out excitement, nothing is a patch on the biff'n'barge nature of Super Touring in the early- and mid- 1990s. If you don't agree, get a BTCC season review from around 1995 (Invader likes that year for some reason) and see for yourself...

Bring on Bathurst and we'll see what sort of a show the V8s can put on. I'm waiting with baited breath.

Arrh Danielsun,

I did indeed commentate on the Super Tourers in Australia (as an Aussie you would know this). The problem was I was sacked for a) making intelligent comments, b) falling asleep in races due to the excitement factor.

Now don't get me wrong if I want to see a destruction derby I'll go to the speedway. But as far as I know the BTCC is no longer receiving airplay in Australia. I do agree the mid nineties stuff was good.

Daniel, one last question, why does an Aussie have to stick up for the Poms, can't they organise themselves to defend their own series?

I would never stick up for this lot of Poms! Not in a million years...

I say that because I honestly believe it. Do I need more reason?
