This is a thread were everone can say what their best Paul Morris moment has been during his career.
1 that springs to my mind was where him and Longhurst crashed at Winton in the BMW's in 94.
He is a peanut, easily my most hated driver. I remember in Bathurst 03 maybe, please correct me if i'm wrong. Anyway, my memory is a bit hazy but i'm sure he was paired with Gurr and Gurr put it into the wall, Morris comes out saying that it's basically his career over. Boy, if thats how it works Morris should have been done a long long time ago!

Result was handy but I need to see a better replay to be sure it was his fault. Not sure what else you are meant to do with half a grid behind you. Do you slow down, put the indicators on and wait for a gap or do keep the speed up and fill the gap you left 1 second ago.. I still think Whincup may have tapped him..
And no, I'm not the CEO, founder, No1 card holder and life member of the Paul Morris fan club..:D Some one out there may be, but it's not me..

I forgot to mention the best bit about 94. It was when Longhurst got out of the car and ran up to Morris' car and started punching. Classic moment.
Last night, the closet 888 car to Morris was actually Lowndesy not Whincup. Whincup was over a car length behind when Morris left the road. Anyway the sooner Morris is racing HQ's the better. The HQ boys will certainly know how to rough him up.

Well actually you have to wait for the grid to pass...it was a dangerous re entry. But then its V8 Supercars and they make their own rules :rolleyes:

Did Whincup wait 'till the grid passed?
I think Morris was less of a Re-entry and more of a cut of the corner.. Channel 7 did not show the replay too well. It would have been nice if they stopped the film so it was easier to establish where everyone was then slow it a bit. i found that by the time I saw who was who it was already happening..

Yes, he certainly has had some classic moments - maybe another one in 15 mins. But im not completely sure about last nights race. Like everyone, id like to see a few different angles including an aerial shot, but we are with channel 7 now so that wont happen

Not after he just drove into the back of Kelly (Chevrolet) in the last race.
Maybe DAD, should take the keys away till he learns to drive.....

He knows how to build a car too, his have always been one of the quickest cars in the field, in all categories he's raced...a pity his talent doesn't show how good the cars really are!

When Longhurst tried to beat him up after their crash in BMW's - whenever that was.
And he was actually the innocent one on that occasion.

Winning Bathurst, and then not winning it because he left Craig Baird in the car too long is right up there....Mind you Bairdo had more chance of keeping it on the island than PM.
Didn't the Big Kev car cop a hit up the chuff that toasted it a few years back? (VS?)

Been closed for about 6 months now as the race needed to expand apprently.
The only reason i found that was i went to waste a day there and was told the cars were all gone back to there respective owners.
