I don't know about any of you guys but i am sick of seeing that bloody ozemail ford of John Bowe's up in front of a gaggle of drivers and doing the most outrages bloking moves, the drivers behind get impatient with the slug and do the best thing there is with this wingeass and punt him off, then to make it worse you have Kim or whatever that nuffy is in there pit who winges like buggery for something which should happen to a slow mobile chicane

If it is within the rules then i don't see the problem. No worse than some other drivers e.g. Garth Tander, Paul Morris.

As much as it annoys me Bowey was driving within the rules as he was only making one move across to the inside line in approaching corners which is considered allowable as defensive driving. It's only blocking outside the rules if he makes another move back across if someone tries going down the outside an blocks them again. Even though i reckon he was being a wanker by the way he was driving on Sunday. Lap after lap he did it and it shouldn't be allowed, same goes for any driver for any team.
Maybe if it was with a few laps to go or somethin, but some wankers do it for the whole race.
Take a look at Steven Richards for class, he drove defensively near the end of Sundays race but still left room for brighty to have a go if he was good enough.

Spot on mate, my thought's exactly, but I'm still very disapointed in how Bowe reacted on the weekend and his driving style to put him and another driver of, he just drove into him on a sraight stretch.very dissapointing to see.

you have pretty much said exactly what i was going to say!

I think the reason why Bowe is driving defensively is because the Ozemail Falcons arent fast cars, so in order to gain positions you have to defend, i bet you Bowe doesnt like how he has to drive now

maybe if Ozemail had cable internet the car would go faster! :)
