for me it's the 635 but the M3 is nice as well but the 635 just has a little bit more for my eyes.

The two Moffat Ford Dealer 1,2 winning cars looked great BUT

that picture of the Moffat Ford Dealer XC Cobras of Moffat and Bond leading around Hell corner at Bathurst 1978 after the delayed foggy start(does anyone remember) is my favorite!

Those two Ford Falcon Cobras white/blue stripes and yellow screen strip looked STUNNING!

Obviously for me it's Commodores and especially VK's. Hard to keep to 4 cars, so I will keep to 4 groups:

1 - Dayglo MHDT commodores. Special mention for the 83 VH MHDT 05 car with red wheels and the 1990 HRT Walkie

2 - 1998/99 MHDT A9X's and the 72 Bathurst winner. Remember my Dad who worked for a Holden Dealer at the time, coming home with a Brocky Torana T-Shirt - When your Hot your Hot- wish I still had it.

3 - Nissan GTR in red Winfield colours.

4 - Falcon Tru-Blu - tough looking car.

Ah yes, moving the start time to 10:00am. Which it has been ever since.

So many nice cars. Funny how most people are recalling older cars rather than v8 supercars.
What about John Goss XJS from 1981 and then in 1984 with TW at the wheel at Bathurst. I would love to have seen what this car could have done in Hardies Heros if it had the 19" wheels on the back.

- Tru Blu XD
- Moffat's Mustang
- 1990 Skyline GTR in the Nissan red/white/blue (not the 1991 scheme - yuk!)
- JPS BMW 635's
- Greens Tuf XE
- Bob Morris' A9X
- Moffat Ford Dealer coupes

That'll do me for now...

Well it began the race with one, but during the event, a number of factors - rain, and the windscreen wiper rubbing over it, actually wore it off.

also, down the bottom of the windshield, the www.hsv.com.au web address was missing a few letters/dots at the end of the race aswell.

It doesnt happen as much anymore (maybe its a lack of rain), but there was a while there when a wet event would mean alot of windscreen stickers would break up/dissappear.
