yes, yes they are lol
Ambrose is engaged to his high school girlfriend so it seems quite clear that he is not a faggot. What did Ambrose do to deserve to lose all his points? Skaife didn't even get any points! Why should Murphy get their points? He didn't finish either!
It depends who you talk to. He has won ten endurance races at Bathurst. He has won one 500 mile race, eight 1000 kilometer races and one 24 hour race.
hahahahahha, you took the words out of my mouth, mate, exactly what I was thinking.Bollocks#999

If you are talking about the racing engines, both the Holden and Ford engines were originally based on NASCAR blocks, so Holden were given engines by General Motors and Ford Australia were given engines by Ford America. If you are talking about the production cars, in the seventies Holden were using their own five litre engine while Ford Aus were importing the 5.8 litre engine from the US, so Ford weren't using their own engine either. In the eighties, Holden were still using their own five litre engine and Ford Aus didn't even sell a car that had a V8!
How isn't Holden their real name? Holden has been around for more than a century, I'm pretty sure it's a real name. Ford Australia have as much to do with Ford US as Holden have with GM. Just because Holden uses a Chev badged engine and not a Holden badged engine doesn't mean a thing. General Motors purchased an established company called Holden, kept the name and began building cars. Ford set up an Australian branch of their American company and weren't creative enough to give it a different name to distinguish it from Ford in other countries. Does your comment mean Subaru isn't Subarus real name or Opel isn't Opels real name or Saab isn't Saabs real name just because they are owned by GM? Is Jaguar or Aston Martin not their real name because they are owned by Ford? Is Ferrari not their real name? Is Lamborghini not their real name?
All the V8 Supercars use pushrod five litre V8's. It is against the rules to use anything else. It is a big reason why Mitsubishi and Toyota haven't entered the V8 Supercar series.
Holden has been around since the mid 1800s. They were a family blacksmith company and also built wagons. When car companies like Dodge, GM, Pontiac and Ford started exporting cars to Australia they only exported the chassis and running gear. They got a local company such as Holden to build the bodies to go onto the cars. Yes, there are old Fords out there that were partly built by Holden.
Windsor is the name of Fords small block V8 which was built in Windsor, Ontario in the US. It was introduced in 1962 and was originally a 221ci motor.
Brad Jones ownes the team. I don't think he is ready to do a Mark Larkham yet.
Their official name is General Motors-Holden.
Mostly to contain costs. Neither Ford or Holden had OHCs when the V8 formula was introduced and it would cost a lot to develop an OHC motor. AVESCO was keen to have Mitsubishi and Toyota in the field but Ford and Holden wasn't. Mitsubishi and Toyota both decided that, for now, it was too expensive to build and develop a V8 Supercar and source a suitable motor.
I read that to. It was in an interview with Prodrive MD Nick Fry. I would prefer to see Lowndes stay just because Prodrive are very good at what they do, check their history. They will come good.
Ingall has been consistent but hasn't really matched Ambrose since moving to SBR. It has been mentioned somewhere that since both Ingall and Lowndes are contracted to Ford and not to their teams that they could do a straight swap, but one wouldn't wish something like that upon Seton... Brad Jones and John Bowe both seem very happy with their current arrangement, I can't see any movements happening at BJR.
That was the best V8 Supercar race yet. I still don't know who actually won yet though. Sux how Murph had the troubles. Still finished though. That race was definately the best yet.
