1. Correct
2. Correct
3. Yes - Blew the engine in spectacular oil gushing fashion (broke a rod I think) so ended up spinning off the wall in his own oil.
4. Nup - Sitting in a smoking pink Commodore, he smacks the steering wheel "f**cking great....this is just f**cking great!"

When was the last time a Holden was raced at the Bathurst event was it the last 308 with Perky.
And when was the last real Falcon raced.
