I liked the line -“(The economic climate) is not an underlying factor, but it’s part of it.”

So really this is no different to what Ford has done with its teams. so are we headed back to the days when there were 4-5 cars at the top and the rest had no chance.? at least in the last couple of years we had a few teams that were getting in the big teams face's

Rocks harder is right: he's just spinning it best for Holden ......... Ford had the back page of the papers saying they'd dumped Dick, Holden had page 10 of the fishwrapper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure he'd be pretty thicked skinned and a jellyBelly's opinion wouldn't matter to him |

“We’ve changed some of our business operations based on the fact that we have reviewed teams against key performance indicators”, McNamara stated.
"That's why we've hitched our wagon to BJR's undoubted pedigree", he added. |

The air intake is in the front bar, the grille opening just gets in the way.

Off topic sorry, but didn't know where else to post it. I recall them being a sponsor some time ago on a V8SC. Tough times I suppose...
