Default Bathurst

Hi guys,

I'm looking for people heading to, or thinking of heading to, Bathurst next week. I'm looking for Utes for the Drivers Parade.
What I'm looking for is the following:

BA/BF XR Utes
Any colour
Sports Bar
No signwriting/large stickers

If anyone is interested in helping out, please let me know ASAP, either by PMing me or emailing me at xrman@autospeed.com

For your help, 2 x tickets will be offered for your services.

Thanks,

Brad

If I had a BA/BF ute and lived in Aus, I'd drive to Bathurst and pay you! Sounds awesome.

Have a great Sunday the 7th!

It is an awesome experience, to drive the circuit, on race day!!!! Seeing the crowd, feeling the atmosphere, and to realise just how steep it is up and down the Mountain, is simply incredible!!!!!

Bathurst comes at the worst possible time in regards to my University degree. Assignments all due, studio work due - exams arround the corner, critical lectures.. the day after Bathurst I have two assignments due, both worth 50% of thier papers. It's also a five year degree.

Will be at the mount 2010

2010 will come around soon enough. Bathurst is a petrol heads pilgrimage.

Just a quick note to all that helped out with the Drivers Parade on the weekend. Thank you very much for assisting, and finally we got a decent amount of airtime on the TV......

Brad just want to say thanks for a great time on the sunday. Even thought I didnt get my drivers and ended up with 4 girls in the back of the ute. The other half thought it was great. Did anyone get any photos at all ? If you did please let me know. And thanks again it was a blast

It was great that this year the Parade got a fair amount of airtime!! Previous years we've had basically nothing..... But if anyone did get any photos, it would be great to have them posted on here....

It did?

I heard quite the opposite. I heard it was more of a commerical for the VE ute, (P)Rick Kelly and Denilliquin and an interview with Larry Perkins.

yeah they showed a fair bit of the drivers parade though it seemed to be focused on more kelly/tander and skaife/kelly and a few others, only saw jamie and craig once or twice, then they had a 5-10 thing with ricky and the new VE at some ute muster

Compared to previous years, it had a lot of airtime. Last year, there was maybe 5 seconds, and the previous year maybe a third of what was on this year.
