Default Win Dick Johnsons own road car.
Coka Cola is running a compatition to win Dicks present DJR 320 supercharged road car.
Dick drove the car down from the Gold Coast to Herrod motorsport yesterday . The car has been left with us to give it the once over for the lucky prize winner.
Dick tells me that all you need to do is buy a bottle of coke to go into the drawn to win his own supercharged peice of history .

I hardly think this sort of reaction is called for and certainly does nothing for the quality of the conversation.

Well done to Coke, Herrod’s and Dick for putting this together. Someone gets to own Dicks personal car and a very well specified one at that. Got to admit I looked for a bottle today myself but perhaps Tassie isn’t in the loop just yet. (old stock) ;)

Awwww why not :(

But have to agree with poly, if I was going to own a BA this would be it. No body has pictures of the car?

Is there a link anywhere for the competition? Would definitely be a pretty awesome prize just by getting a bottle of Coke! I take it Dick's car is/was one of those BA DJR 320s?

I don't care if it is a so called 2nd hand XR8 to some, I'm not concerned with keeping up with the Jones, it's still a fantastic prize to be won, you have to be in it to win it.

Seriously, who wouldn't want a free car?

Waste of time comment, does every thread have to turn negative here?

I can imagine the phone call now. "congratulations you've won dick johnsons supercharged XR8 in our competition", "Pfft it's second hand and I'll have to check with my sister/wife to see what she wants to do"

IMO its the best looking BA/F (non FPV) around bar none.
Id take it over any BA/BF FPV anyday. Not even the Cobra or the 40th anni guys have the limited number of these. More power, better brakes etc etc

If it was this car i would, this car will become a collectors car and will be worth more than any GS in years to come.
