Yeah - the 84 Wang(ker) Jag was the one "Liberache'ed" (thanx Cromley) on the grid by Tesorio in the Forcefield Camaro with the flying mouth Willo adding his mega-buck Supra to the carnage after, as another member of that grid later told me, he jumped the start by an hour.

Falcadore · 9 Jan 2005, 03:49 (Ref:1196266)

Bob Jones Ampol Commodores always looked a treat.

There's something about a black racecar.

sukispeed · 9 Jan 2005, 05:24 (Ref:1196299)

I like the 2003 Ford Credit car over the CAT car. The Blue and white looks better than the black, grey, and white of the 2004 CAT, IMO

I did not read all the post on this topic, but anyone mention the Playboy BMW?

**GTRMagic** · 9 Jan 2005, 08:17 (Ref:1196336)

I quite liked this one....

**GTRMagic** · 9 Jan 2005, 08:27 (Ref:1196338)

I actually liked the 2001 McLean paintjob better

http://www.v8supercar.com.au/v8data/...PHITP_1550.JPG

It just seemed to be a very bright white, with very good panel fit... very professional presentation...

**GTRMagic** · 9 Jan 2005, 08:38 (Ref:1196339)

Or Larko's car... here is a very rare pic, with ICS aboard, when things were all rosy...

http://www.v8supercar.com.au/v8data/...PHITP_1302.JPG

Or a bit later on, when Karcher took some space, and ICS is still on the car...

And a bit later still... when ICS became a distant, yet still painful memory...

Or you can get excited over a Roddlermobile... arguably one of the prettier designs he had....

Or indeed Dugal McDougall's Pepsimobile...

Can you please make your mind up GTR

naughtymutt · 9 Jan 2005, 08:52 (Ref:1196346)

The best looking car across the top at bathurst...

**GTRMagic** · 9 Jan 2005, 08:53 (Ref:1196348)

And easily the noisiest Supercar I have ever heard Naughtymutt!

TSR · 9 Jan 2005, 08:54 (Ref:1196349)

I did mention the Moffat EB before naughtymutt.

I remember Allan saying that he had tuned the exhaust especially for the people at the top of the hill.

billy bigtime · 9 Jan 2005, 09:53 (Ref:1196368)

I must admit the Moffat EB looked sensational and the sound gave me a stiffy.

One of the best sounding better tha the cars of today

jd yort · 9 Jan 2005, 10:49 (Ref:1196387)

For some reason I have always liked the STP / Re-Car Commodore of Grice.
The Gibbs GIO GTR looked good too.

Hey GTRMagic, how come you don't have to follow the forums rules?

Moffat's Mustang (in coke colours),Bob Jane's Camaro,Beechey's Monaro, Pete's Super Falcon,Firthy & Gibbo's XRGT ('67 Bathurst winner),Brocky & Bobby Morris's A9X's,Dicky's GreensTuf XE, Pete's '65 Mustang,Gibbo & Seto's '68 XTGT,Brut 33 Falc was nice except for the white grill.Todays cars look like shyte compared to the beautiful machines of yesteryear....

twinwebbers · 10 Jan 2005, 10:22 (Ref:1197087)

I think it goes to show how good the colour scheme was when I say I hate the look of AU Falcons (even in v8 supercar form) but list the Green Eyed Monster as the best looking car to hit the track.

Then again there was always the Day Glo Marlboro Brock Comodore....

Now does the spare JPS BMW M3 from Bathurst 1987, which 'became' the #46 Schnitzer Pirro/Ravaglia car after the original was crashed in practice, therefore count as an Australian Touring Car. The BMW 'stripes' were simple but effective.

As with jd yort, i liked the STP-Roadways Racing Team Commodore's from 1983.

A little off topic:- That colourscheme (STP Roadways) was interesting in that the corporate colour of 'STP' Oil Treatment is red, and the dual 'blue and red' only came about originally because the Petty's in NASCAR preferred to keep the 'Petty Blue' on their cars, so a dual livery was arranged.

The Petty blue/STP red mix managed to make it's way also onto the Roadways Commodore's, and also the Patrick Racing CART cars at the same time, rather than the corporate 'STP' red only. (though early in the 70s, when Patrick Racing won the 1973 Indy500 with Gordan Johncock, it ran the STP red only).

They had several variations that year. They started off with the your first pic which they ran for 3 rounds I think it was. They ran the AGP with a plain yellow car with karcher on it. Decorug came on board at Hidden Valley. Then Canberra (your second pic) they ran that at WA too I think, then Oran park basically everything (including the BP signage) was gone, leaving the decorug signage on the front and rear and the black falcon. For QLD the blue replaced where the green use to be, and decorug had increased signage on the sides. Come race time, VIP had come aboard on the sides and the bonnet after McLean's (forced) withdrawl. VIP remained on the bonnet from taht point forward, with Karcher taking the sides from Indy onwards. For bathurst I dont think there was anything on the side when Gardiner partnered larkham. My pic of that year was the Indy onwards version of the car, though was never really a fan of that year to start with, Mitre 10 and then Orrcon were far better IMO.

What was different about the '92 livery from those used from 1987-1991, apart from more red sue to less white sponsor stickers?

Wrighty05 · 12 Jan 2005, 12:26 (Ref:1198906)

In 1991 Shell logos replaced the Ultra Hi logos. That's all that I can think of.
