Maybe it's just hard to get excited about an XR8 when you have a company car like his!!

In the article I read Craig was asked if he had any plans to 'hot-up' the Territory. Craig replied that while he appreciates what others have done, that type of thing was of no interest to him. Regardless of his day job I would agree with the idea that he's possible not really a 'mad' car nut, but he does enjoy racing them.

I heard that Bargs drives one of those Chrysler C300 thingys because ford dont give the WPS boys any money, but Chrysler do

It was written in an article looking back at the Skylines...

That could be getting mixed up with the jet black R31 Skyline. Had a few custom bits, and a member from my other club just recently sold it- she had it for a while.

Mrs Richo had a black territory last time i saw it, but that was a year ago.....
Bargs had an Xr8 ute a year or two ago, but that most likely would have been updated by now.

Murph has an R8 (or rather i think it's Mrs Murph) they are about to get rid of I hear.........they are like fleet cars- once they hit 10,000 kms they swap 'em over - guess that means Paul Morris has a few more laps to do in the treddly before he gets a new one :evil3:

That was where I read it. In the article it said both he and Mrs Frosty drove a silver Focus each. Not sure the date of the mag, may have been a while ago.

I saw Skaife and missus in a reg GTS at a servo in Mornington a few years ago and Murphy in a green Clubby leaving the track a few years ago.

SBR_1 · 10-10-2007, 11:06 AM

Nealy got run over by Bezzy and the Rat when the were leaving the Island one year.

The CL XR8 LE ute that Craig was in the back of in the drivers parade on sunday at Bathurst is his personal ute.

I asked the guy who was was driving it on Sunday and said it was Craig Lowndes' persoanl car.

blueoval · 10-10-2007, 11:50 AM

you'd feel pretty privileged driving that I reckon

swanee · 10-10-2007, 12:22 PM

I think it was a guy from Triple eight driving it.

Still... you would feel privileged

James Courtney has a Ford supplied XR8 Falcon Ute in Blue with a sportsbar.

I read an article on it a while ago

privileged! i had andrew jones and simon wills in the back of mine for the drivers parade and then i found out that BJR are going to the darkside!

elgt146 · 11-10-2007, 05:35 PM

Craigs Cortrina is in Geelong. It was hidden away in his shed when he raced for Holden.

Ambrose used to drive F Series Ute last I saw

Ingall had a mandarin orange XR6 ute but I think was normally only available in sedan in that colour. I may be wrong or it may have changed.

Dicky drives a GT-P and still has a DJR I think and a nice boat.

Paul Morris I think still owns a really nice convertable red 57 Chev. He has had it since he was about 20.

And if you are interested Bo Seton drives an Xr8 ute. Last I knew it was still an e-series.

I was in the paddock behind pit lane at Bathurst and saw a really nice grey Aston Martin parked in the SBR parking space.
