I remember when he cracked the poos after his top ten lap at Bathurst in '93 when he speared off because the track was covered in oil, only to find out that he laid it out on his previous lap.
Classic - Happy Birthday Neil.
P.S. 00 XR8. I believe one of his best chances of victory was Bathurst '95 but it was Crompton himself who made the blue.

The amazing Brock, using every last centimetre of bitumen, yet keeping the car straight and balanced and at full noise, came back with a staggering 2:20.0 as if to say: "Match that". And people just shook their heads, bit their lips and wondered who would be second".
