Not me. They're not worth $50, whether a racing driver owned them or not.

It looks like it's 10 years old FFS.
If I was Mark Skaife, I'd have top of the line clubs. Not those heaps of crap.

For laughs I've asked the question, any proof that Skaife once owned these clubs?

Now were talking full on electrics working to the limit.
I'd hate to think of the cost to replace the in dash screen components.

I know at work, you can get a laptop anywhere in the world with wireless, and download a machine's details (like oil pressures, temps, service error codes) all in real live time.

That's they way it's all going now.

Well I just got through all 8 ep's.... Absolute ROFL.
Though some parts being set up, it's definately well worth the watch.

The presents are just the shiznit to it all. And the "born in the usa" connotation says it all..I was wondering who would be caught riding that...

It reminds me of that Foxtel (SBS or ABC as well) TV series peking to paris, with all those old cars (some, one off originals) that made an epic journey.
But this Top Gear was a hellava lot funnier. Suprised how they all made it...

Default Nice XC Rally Pac on ebay

If you're in the market just spotted this, what a great car, very original, shame it's a 6 but could be a project for someone, if it was in WA I'd be buying.

That is weird. I always thought the bird of paradise was a colourful bird. Only recently discovered the males are plain.

David Attenborough is a great commentator. How good are those bird sounds!! Imitating 20 different bird sounds. The camera sounds are great!
