hey jayson , I bet you are thinking about buying the frog , only it is not green , why don't you write to the mint and tell them to send you a green one .. ,, kel ,,:yahoo:
I purchased the Bathurst one just because the subject interests me but it is a pretty lazy design IMO. They could have done something much better!
yeah Kel my frog is heaps cooler :winkextra:
:i_agree: Matty and they could/should have had panarama in there somewhere..and is that a holden or a ford :)
reminds me more of an NRMA add for the open road..lame
I haven't done an article on this coin yet (yep slacker) but not sure who D (Daniel?) Neale the Bathurst designer is. Not one of the great releases for 2012.
Looks a little like a BA falcon to me, more so than a commodore anyway

That's one of those new Falcodores that will save the aussie car industry. The entire field at Bathurst will be made up of them, so no more red vs blue yobbos on the hill. ;)

Yeah but what do we know about who he is?
:i_agree: with Enworb on the Falcon ....

The front air dam on the coin looks pretty high though!!!
(Perhaps it's the designer's every day driver featured).
Not a Falcon -grille too long and headlight too short. I think it just meant to be a generic "car".
I think it looks most like a Camry!
My son says VE Commodore.
Go the HQ's :)
