It shows how the whole 888 move to Holden had really caught them off guard.
You would think they would have used Frosty having a longer contract and he does drive an F6 as his daily driver.

Excuse my ignorance, but who exactly is CL? Why can't someone just say his name?

During the V8 telecast yesterday, they interviewed Lowndes in the TeamVodafone garage and in the back ground there was a FPV commercial playing on one of their tv monitors which was funny.
Holden's 3mil well spent! lol

who knows why not ? guess its all about the creative advertising and marketing.

but in hindsight, maybe a smart move as they may still be able to use the ad.

I actually quite like the add even my wife who rareley talks about cars commented on how good the add was

It actually made her say that if we were financial enough she would look at one

so in my books great advertising
