The worst part was that bloody channel 7 went to commercial and when they came back, all hell had broken loose.

NON EVENT Cannot be Deemed a ENDURANCE RACE IF IT DOESN'T GO THE DISTANCE.

It seems like Kevin Bartlett couldn't keep his nose out of trouble and blamed everyone else for his bad luck.

[@BCBtrucks64]

starting to think he wasn't the best choice for the 350 comaro too many excuses and wrong decisions

[@ragereset2795]

Not his best day. A mate used to work as Kerry Packer’s chef. One night, Kerry took delivery of some bonkers 911. He called up KB, who drove over to Bellevue Hill from North Rocks and KB wrang the thing’s neck around Sydney at 2am until it ran out of brakes. They parked It near a pay phone and called the butler, who organised a tilt tray and picked them up. 😄
