Nick Heidfeld will drive with David Reynolds on the Gold Coast.
Despite this being my favourite car in the field (due to its livery, and despite the fact I'm usually a Holden man), I'm bored already.

Whatever you might think of Jacques Villeneuve, this special livery he's got for the Townsville round is awesome:

David Reynolds is a massive James Allen. Just saying.

You feel this way about Reynolds, and I haven't heard you say much about Davison despite him leaving a year earlier and having actually acheived something in a Holden.

If I remember correctly Davison wasn't under contract, Reynolds was.

The only people on the planet who thought Reynolds still had a contract were the Kelly boys

I distinctly remember him saying in August last year that he had a contract for two years, finishing at the end of 2012. And besides, he said in another interview that the reason he left is that he "got a better offer".

Given the option between driving for the Kellys and any Ford team you name, I'd take the Ford.
Except DJR.

Frankly, who wouldn't. Seriously, the Kellys have got the two biggest egos in the paddock. Why else would they have their own reality TV show?

Ostensibly, it was to find Australia's Next Top Racing Driver. By sheer crazy random happenstance, it also happened to show just how awesome the Kellys were.
Given the way they treated Reynolds, it's pretty obvious they picked Waters as the winner early on so that they could control his career.

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
since you shaved your hair away
You hardly finished a race in 1999
which took your credibility away.
Since you've been gone the paddock jumps for joy
And they don't want you back.
'Cause everyone doesn't care
No one cares for your opinion....

And the Canadian qualifies... last. Way slower than everyone else. Come on Jacques, Premat got up to speed faster, and he hadn't even driven the car before!

Frosty/Reynolds front row with Whincup third?
BORING!
Villeneuve better cause some chaos when he inevitably gets lapped after 15 minutes and start taking people out

It's a shame Reynolds just got knocked off, I wanted to see your reaction
And Melrose, you know I like to see the shootout before someone spoils it! You're lucky I only looked at this when Frosty crossed the line...

Yes, you did just we a DJR overtake a Vodafone car. Granted, Owen is on the softs and will probably end up dropping down the field as the race goes on.

Big off for the Giz.
SC out again but that's because Premat's stranded somewhere in a runoff area
EDIT: Turns out that the idiot was responsible for the Giz's high speed off and followed him into the turn 2 runoff area

Paul Morris is quite possible the only uninteresting person involved in V8 Supercars in interviews.
Except for Roland Dane.

Before that SC, Lowndes and Davo were at the back end of the top 5. Now, they're at the back of the field through no fault of their own.

I reckon that at a track ike Townsville where a safety car is a given, it's worth the gamble to stay out. And as I say that, Lowndesy comes straight back in.
