Is Murph getting his mojo back?

i know i posted about this in the Bathurst thread, but i thought it would be good having it's own thread and discuss the rest of the year as well.

Well is Murph getting his mojo back or is it false hope? he seems pretty confident and comfortable in the car now and coments like that havn't come out of his mouth since his Kmart days, so if the pace they showed early at Sandown and at Bathurst so far, could this mean decent resaults from here on in or is it false hope for Murph?

i hope he is getting his mojo back and the car is comming good and he can get back to where he belongs up the front .

deejay has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
The Tasman car is not up to the optimal pace, but if he and Jase can keep out of trouble and get good track position for the final sprint they'll be in with a shot.

I think he is adapting his driving style to his Tasman car as the Tasman car is engineered differently to the TWR/HMS cars he used to race.

I don't think Murph has lost any talent or skill that he had at K-Mart, he simply doesn't have the hardware he used to have.

Murf is a genius around Bathurst ... that effort in a car 1 sec off the pace was brilliant. He deserves fast equipment wayyyy more than SBR, Silly, Nose and Toddler ... give him a FORD, I say!

Please deeks NO.

Give Mr Potato Head a Carrera Cup car, a better still a F3, or an old Group E proddie, or best yet a HQ.

That's a bit rough, Cranks!!

It wasn't that long ago that Murf nearly drove for SBR....with the help of Croaky Crichton and Pirtek, but the deal didn't happen and some guy called Ambrose was signed.

The kid from Havelock missed a golden opportunity...although Tasman Motorsport may never have happened quite the same way as the Lansvale boys declined 2 offers to go Ford....

Murph has a thing for bathurst.

Let's see how he goes at Gold Coast, and the rest of the year.

It would be great for someone like Rob Wilson to have more time with Murph and get a few things going

I was hoping Winterbum was going to do a '6' in the shootout so we can stop talking about Murph's lap of 4 YEARS AGO
