Now, as the 2008 Bathurst 1000 approaches its climax and we wait to see whether Lowndes and Whincup can pull off an awesome third consecutive win, we park ourselves at a prime spot to spectate. We are sitting by a series of accident-prone curves known as The Esses on the slopes of Mount Panorama, overlooking the country town of Bathurst. For those of you who don't know, the Bathurst 1000 is the definitive race for V8 Supercars. Unlike boring-as-piss forms of racing like NASCAR that mindlessly go around an oval, Bathurst is a genuine sporting challenge - 161 laps, 1,000 kilometres, up and down what is normally a winding public road over Mount Panorama. This is what defines the month of October, people. As the trees are stripped bare. What do I care!

Others may have invented the super dooper Swiffer and winter tyres but can you beat us??

YouTube - The True Story of Australian History - AFL ad

Haha, I don't doubt that played well here in Victoria.
 
oh hell no. The train may stall if it has limited. . . tunnel. . . experience. :lol:

or worse, charge through too fast and not even realise it was there

Ah, so you want an experienced driver well acquianted with when to pick up the pace and when to take it more slowly?
 
oh now I'm hooked on ads.
Just to prove that we do have a little class. . .

YouTube - Australian Beer Carlton Draught Ad - Flashdance - Flashbeer

That ad has always, always been disturbing.
 
yes, V line have some answering to do. There are a lot of unsatisfied riders out there.

I thought V/Line was suffering from overcrowding due to booming patronage, not dissatisfaction! Are people just repressing their disappointment and pretending it was the best ride of their life or something? :tsk:
 
So you both reckon most train drivers just don't get enough decent training? :tsk:

I imagine that they've had training but in fact it is mainly experience that they require. That and patience and the want to satisfy others needs and not only their own. Sometimes the fastest rail track isn't the best route.
 
Woah, Craig Baird just went really heavily into the wall there! He was in fifth too, with under 15 laps to go. Poor bastard.

This race was pretty dull for the first two thirds or so, but god, it's seriously picked up in the closing stages. Pace car just keeps having to come out.

But remember, trains have to compete with other modes for rider satisfaction. In this fast paced world, I can't blame them for thinking that going quickest through tunnels to reach the destination first is going to bring the most satisfaction!
