Vic-Dutton Rally on Channel 9 @ 12.30

[CAMS290]

The Dutton is on Channel 9 "The Car Show", we might get some footage of the "T3" Boys, for those that are interested.

[CAMS290]

Pretty biased footage favouring the exotics or the under dogs, a couple of brief shots of a BA XR8 ute and a Tornado, and "Fire Fox's" T3 smoking them up and bouncing of the limiter at WSID.

I thought I saw a T3 with stripes. Haven't I seen that on AFF somewhere???

[philstoj]

It was pretty **** poor footage, they showed more of that blonde bimbo and other crap boxes...

[Dazza XLT]

I was stoked to find it was on.
Rather disappointed at the footage shown...

[NZ]

I saw the last bit of it. Pretty interesting to watch but it seemed more like a promotional thing if anything

My sentiments exzakly... Steve Butler took 2nd over all on Day one, remember it was pouring down with rain. He smack all but 1 AWD pocket rocket which is not a easy feat in a big rear wheel drive and yet Steve did not get a spot on the Telly..... Not Happy Jane

That was Firefox7....


What was the go with them showing the old nissan pulsar and not the T3's. What kind of joke was that.

[sbutler]

Didn't get to see it, but by the sound of it I didnt miss much anyway.
Not real happy about that at all. How are we supposed to attract sponsors into the sport with no footage of us??
By the sounds of it if you didnt have an exotic you dont get any TV, & thats crap because if you have the money for a $300,000+ car you wouldn't need sponsors.

On top of that I still haven't recived my trophy for comming third in the V8 class!!
now im not happy Jan..

PS how'd you go with your repairs, any good news yet Jabba??

[jabba]

didn't sleep a wink last night (Stressed out).... No news till Monday....

[sbutler]

Did it drop a cylinder or was it still running on 8??

I watched the show hopping to see the T-series guy's and all I seen was the red T3 and not much off it at that, only the close up off the rear tyre covered in smoke.

[Firefox7]

I was a little disapointed as well, but I expected it. If you watched the WA round it was basically the same. They seemed to concentrate more on driver/ co-driver teams than just drivers. Oh well...still got plenty of footage for the dvd I'm authoring at the moment. :1syellow1 It's nearly ready to BTW.


Cheers

I'm starting to think i'm in the wrong sport... i should have done this rally stuff instead.. oh well never too late to change

The coverage was very biased i must agree, but at the end of the day its what the majority of the viewing audience wants to see... and that is the exotics

[jabba]

Well if I make to the Dutton, I hope they appriecate my efforts getting back in to the thick of it.... I hope...

[XW Boy]

Was a pretty good show i thought but as said above they could have shown a few more fords

I liked it when they were talking to the drivers, some in convertables covered in water then the guy in the $400,000 lambo goes oh yer we didnt hit anything and i had the climate control set at 25 degrees, so it was pretty good, haha damn rich bastard. The typhoon or tornado what ever they are, the yellow ute with the plates FPVPSI was looking nice trying to do the 4 leaf clover course.

[V8R]

usual "the car show" fare... if you expected more, you obviously dont watch it much

[MO]

And Glen has done it again!!!!!!!

Forget about the real stuff lets show what I like!!!
