Went to Philip Island at the weekend to watch Stoner win his 6th consecutive and final race there.

This was just the "secure" paddock, for $15/day, can't be too careful with an FJ

Saw a few FJ's including this one, anyone?

And this magnificent example at a roadside stop
Pulled up next to an ambulance at another stop but the owner was clearly not feelin' the love and had no intention of acknowledging the FJ brotherhood

Terrific Pics Noel.... Naa wasn`t there due to Anniversary commitment....Surprised tha Ambulance didn`t feel the love.... Some get pretty jealous of the later model colours! Doug
A mate I used to work with was at the island, , lucky bastard had seats across from the podium ,, couldn't believe how loud the gp bikes were down the main straight , , but the chick killing the anthem made his ears bleed :lol:
Great pics! I watched on TV and Sir Stoner sure wiped the track with of the rest of'em.
He definitely owns the island!.... made it look easy fer sure! :biggrin:
Kookaloo!
