Apex 693 Report post Posted May 5, 2011 1) they are Australian and the track is bullshit, both cars were tested on different track FFS, fly blown monkeys. 2) they are Australian. Does show how mighty the wizardry is getting in these new cars though, they defy the laws of physics with how they perform. More note worthy was the fact they drove the Hulme Super car on that same show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellicose 9 Report post Posted May 5, 2011 I've started watching it as Shane Jacobson is actually funny. On a side note, that Hulme has changed so much from the original it's unbelievable. The old one looked far better than the new one, old one had BMW V8 and new one has got that Chev' in it. I painted bits on the old one so had a good chance to check out every little detail on it.

Really ! Not what I have experienced over the last 5 months, in fact they left me feeling I should have paid them a bit more for everything they sorted out, so I made a donation to CanTeen to ease my conscience.
