CARS FROM GERMANY, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, AMERICA, SWEDEN, ITALY AND ENGLAND. ENORMOUS VARIETY. A HUNDRED LAPS, 262KM AROUND THE GRAND PRIX ORAN PARK CIRCUIT. AND IN THE PITS, IT'S PETER BROCK COMING INTO THE PITS AT THE END OF LAP ONE. WHAT BAD LUCK FOR BROCKY. IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING IN THE DRIVETRAIN. OFF THE RIDGE NOW COMES THE LEADER, DICKIE JOHNSON, AND BEHIND HIM CHARGING IS JIMMY RICHARDS. THE JAGS ARE RUNNING THIRD, BUT THE VOLVOS ARE CATCHING THEM. BROCK IS BACK IN THE RACE, HOPING HIS CAR WILL STAY IN ONE PIECE. TYRES SQUEAL WHOA! TROUBLES HERE FOR PETER WILLIAMSON. UPSIDE-DOWN. NOT A USUAL WILLO FINISHING.

JUST MISSES PETER WILLIAMSON'S STRICKEN CAR. 28 LAPS REMAINING. CAN PETER BROCK DO IT HERE AT ORAN PARK? AND DICKIE JOHNSON! LOOKS LIKE THE WHEELS HAVE COME OFF THIS CHALLENGE. WHAT DREADFUL LUCK FOR DICK JOHNSON. JOHN HARVEY'S BEEN IN THE PITS FOR 34 SECONDS ALREADY. THEY'VE DROPPED IT OFF THE JACK WHILE THE WHEEL WAS STILL OFF THE CAR. YOU CAN WRITE OFF JOHN HARVEY FROM THIS RACE. AND GENTLEMAN JIM RICHARDS COMES UP TO TAKE THE CHEQUERED FLAG AGAIN AT ORAN PARK. AND PETER BROCK SIGHS WITH RELIEF AS HE TAKES SECOND. HE'S HAD TO FIGHT HIS WAY BACK, DUE TO THE UNSCHEDULED STOP EARLY ON. WHICH MAKES YOU WONDER HOW FAR AHEAD OF THE PACK HE MIGHT'VE BEEN IF HIS CAR HAD NOT FAILED DURING THAT FIRST LAP. TYRES SCREECH WE JUST DON'T HAVE AS MUCH SPEED. THE OVERSEAS MOB. THOSE NEW JAGS. WE'VE GOTTA FIND SOMETHING. LARRY'S RIGHT. THEY HAVE MORE HORSEPOWER, BROCKY. MAYBE NEXT YEAR. TO HELL WITH NEXT YEAR. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO NOW? TO GO FASTER? UM, RIC,... WELL, BEV AND I HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING SOMETHING. THE WHOLE REASON WE'RE GOING THROUGH THIS IS TO TRY AND GET MY BODY FUNCTIONING MORE EFFICIENTLY. THAT'S RIGHT. AND EVERYTHING HAS ITS OWN ENERGY, ITS OWN FREQUENCY, SO IN THEORY, IS THERE ANY REASON WHY YOUR SAME TECHNIQUES SHOULDN'T WORK ON A CAR ENGINE? BIRDS CHIRP WELL, NO, NOT IN THEORY.

HE RECKONS IT'S GONNA MAKE THE CAR RUN BETTER, FASTER. OK. ANYONE NOTICE ANYTHING ABOUT THE CAR? ANY IMPROVEMENT WITH THIS? I THINK, LOOK, YOU KNOW WHAT PETE'S LIKE ` LIKES TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. YEAH, BUT NOT LIKE THIS. WHAT'S THIS? IT'S WHAT HE CALLS LATERAL THINKING. AND SOMETIMES HIS IDEAS WORK. OH, SO YOU THINK THAT THIS PIECE OF CRAP CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING? WORST-CASE SCENARIO IS HE PLAYS AROUND WITH IT FOR A FEW MONTHS, AND THEN HE FORGETS ABOUT IT. BEST-CASE, IT MAKES THE CAR GO FASTER. THIS FUCKING THING?! DOES HOLDEN KNOW ABOUT THIS? (LAUGHS) ARE YOU KIDDING ME? NO WAY. YOU BETTER MAKE SURE THEY DON'T. THIS CAN'T LEAVE HERE, GUYS. BIRDS CHIRP, RADIO: ...MEDICAL ASSOCIATION HEAD, WHICH BACKFIRED AGAINST HIM. HE HAD YESTERDAY AFTERNOON APOLOGISED FOR ANY OFFENCE SHE MAY HAVE TAKEN TO REMARKS HE MADE... WHAT'S WRONG? WHO DID THIS? THIS. WHO SPOKE TO THEM? READS: 'HAS PETER PERFECT GONE NEW-AGEY? 'THERE ARE RUMOURS CIRCULATING ABOUT A MYSTERIOUS GIZMO BEING TRIALLED AT THE BERTIE ST WORKSHOP.' YEAH, PETER, I'VE TALKED TO THE BOYS. EVERYONE SWEARS NO ONE WENT` OH, BULLSHIT! WHEN I FIND OUT WHO DID IT, I'LL SACK HIM! I DON'T CARE WHO IT IS! NEXT THING THEY'LL BE WRITING IS BEV AND I SLEEP UNDER A PYRAMID. WELL, PETE, WE'RE GONNA` PEANUT, IT'S NOT FUNNY! HOW DO THE PAPERS KNOW ABOUT RIC? WHAT'S THIS CRAP ABOUT CALLING HIM MY GURU? LOOK, WHAT WE'RE WORKING ON CAN CHANGE DRIVING, NOT JUST MOTOR-RACING, ALL DRIVING, BUT YOU MULES ARE TOO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND THAT. SO JUST DO YOUR WORK, DRINK YOUR BLOODY BEER, AND SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT! DOOR SLAMS WHY DOES HE KEEP CALLING US MULES? PEANUT. I MEAN, AS FOR US TALKING ABOUT RIC, COME ON, MAN. YOU REMIND MR BROCK THAT EVERYONE SAW THEM AT ORAN PARK. THE PHOTO'S IN THE BLOODY PAPER. YEAH, I KNOW THAT. BUT AS FOR GOOD NEW IDEAS, WE LOVE THEM ` IF THEY'RE GOOD IDEAS. I MEAN, WE'RE HERE FROM 8AM TO 9PM. I MEAN, WE DON'T GO HOME AT 5.30 AND PUT OUR FEET UP AND TELL OUR MISSUS THAT OUR TEAM ARE DONKEYS. HE'S NOT SAYING THAT. NAH, COME ON. YOU HEARD HIM. 'WHAT WOULD YOU MULES KNOW?' OH MAN. (SIGHS) OFF AND RACING AT SANDOWN, AND IT'S GEORGE FURY, THE FRIENDLY FARMER IN THE NISSAN, WHO MAKES HIS PRESENCE FELT, CHARGING TO THE FRONT AND THE CARS LOCKING UP BEHIND HIM. BUT IT'S BROCK WHO TAKES THE LEAD, WITH FURY AND GRICE NOW SECOND AND THIRD. PETER PERFECT IS BACK IN TOWN. ACTION MUSIC HELP NEEDED TO GET CAR 61 OUT OF THE SAND TRAP. NOT THE PLACE WHERE YOU WANT TO SPEND THE AFTERNOON. AND JOHN HARVEY'S IN THE PITS. APPARENTLY THE FRONT SWAY BAR FELL OFF. LET'S HOPE HE'S BACK ON THE TRACK QUICKLY. OH! HE'S LOST IT! WOW! HE'S GONE. ROUND HE GOES. TYRES SQUEAL IN THE LEAD AND NO LONGER MISSIN' IS THE NISSAN, CAR NUMBER 30. WOW! PETER BROCK WAS IN THIRD PLACE. BUT PERHAPS WITH TWO THINGS ON HIS MIND ` NOT ONLY THE MOTOR RACE BUT THE POLARIZER A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TAKING ABOUT IN RECENT TIMES. NOW PERHAPS THAT HE'S BACK ON TRACK, HE NEEDS TO CONCENTRATE ON THE MOTOR RACE. AND HERE COMES ALLAN GRICE IN CAR NUMBER TWO, MAKING HIS MOVE ON THE INSIDE OF BROCKY. NOW, IF PETER CAN SLIP IN BEHIND, HE'LL GET A DRAG UP THE HILL ` THAT'S IF THERE'S ANYTHING LEFT IN THE ENGINE. BUT THE CAR'S NOT FAST ENOUGH. IT'S NOT STAYING WITH GRICE UNDER ACCELERATION. HE'S NOWHERE NEAR IT. MAYBE BROCKY COULD'VE USED A FEW MORE OF THOSE CRYSTALS IN THE TANK. I JUST DON'T SEE WHY EVERYONE'S SO AGAINST IT. OH, IT'S LIKE ANYTHING NEW, PETE. IT JUST TAKES PEOPLE TIME TO GET USED TO. YEAH, BUT EVEN LARRY AND PEANUT. IF THEY JUST GAVE IT A CHANCE, THEY'D SEE HOW THE DEVICE WORKS. THEY WILL. THAT'S THE OTHER THING ` YEAH? YOU GOTTA STOP CALLING IT THE DEVICE. YOU WANNA PUT THIS THING IN CARS, IT'S GOTTA HAVE A BETTER NAME. LIKE WHAT? I DUNNO. SOMETHING COOL, WITH OOMPH. SOMETHING PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER. EVERYONE HATES IT SO MUCH, THEY'LL REMEMBER IT. CALL IT THE POLARISER. HEY, I WAS JOKING. NO, THAT IS A GREAT NAME. THE ENERGY POLARIZER. I CAN SEE IT NOW ` WE'LL MAKE UP A COVER, PUT LIGHTNING BOLTS AND LOTS OF COLOUR. MAKE IT REAL SPECCIE. THE ENERGY POLARIZER. IT CREATES ORDERED MOLECULAR ARRANGEMENTS SO WHEN A MULTIPLICITY OF FREQUENCIES ARE TRANSMITTED THROUGH IT, THEY CAN ABSORB SPECIFIC VIBRATION LEVELS AND PINGS THAT ARE FOUND IN ANY VEHICLE ` ON THE ROAD OR ON THE RACETRACK. AND THIS... DOES ALL OF THAT? IT'S AMAZING. IT CAN ABSORB ROAD SHOCKS ALMOST COMPLETELY, INSIDE AND OUT. WE'VE ALSO DEVELOPED A STICKER THAT MUST BE PLACED ON THE REAR WINDOW OF THE CAR TO ENHANCE THE POLARIZER'S PRODUCTIVITY. I MEAN, THE MORE WE REFINE IT, WE'RE SEEING POSITIVE RESULTS IN STEERING SYSTEMS, IN THE ENGINE, I MEAN, EVEN IN SUSPENSION. SO, DENNIS, IN MY MIND, THE SKY IS THE LIMIT FOR THIS. WELL, HAVE YOU HAD IT TESTED? OF COURSE. YEP. I'VE EVEN SENT A FEW TO GM IN AMERICA. AND I GOTTA SAY THE EARLY REPORTS ARE NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING. ANY SPECIFICS? NOT YET. WELL, I'D LOVE TO SEE THE RESULTS WHEN THEY COME IN. OF COURSE. AND, DENNIS,... I'VE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT GM IS EVEN CONSIDERING IT ADDING IT TO THEIR ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, PUTTING ONE IN EVERY NEW CHEVY THEY MAKE. TAPPING INTRIGUING MUSIC THERE'S NO CIRCUITRY. THERE'S NO WIRES. HOW DOES IT DO ANYTHING? AND HE EXPECTS PEOPLE TO FORK OUT 470 BUCKS FOR THIS? IT CAN'T BE TRUE THAT GM IS THINKING OF PUTTING THIS ON ALL THEIR ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT. IF HE'S RIGHT ABOUT THIS, IT'S A GOLDMINE. IT'S WORTH TENS OF MILLIONS. BUT IF HE'S WRONG... ...IT'S THE TYPE OF THING PEOPLE GO TO JAIL FOR. HEY, RECKON I COULD BORROW YOUR CAR? I WANNA GO DOWN TO THE BOTTLE-O, GET A SLAB FOR THE BOYS. YEAH, JUST TAKE IT EASY ON THE CLUTCH. IT'S JUST SLIPPING A LITTLE BIT. YOU SHOULD GET A POLARIZER TO PUT IN IT. YEAH, IT'S ALREADY GOT ONE. BROCK INSISTED. (CHUCKLES) NO, I GOT THIS AT CAMBERWELL MARKETS. THE GUY GUARANTEED ME. HE SAID ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS JUST WIPE IT ANYWHERE, ANYWHERE THAT STINKS, AND THE SMELL'S GONE.

IT'S LIKE ANY NEW TECHNOLOGY, RON. AT FIRST IT SEEMS LIKE MAGIC. THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE TECHNOLOGY. THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN WITH THE POLARIZER, RON. YOU'LL SEE. DO RE MI'S 'IDIOT GRIN' READY TO GO. YEP. ALL RIGHT. WELL, JASE HERE IS GONNA DO THE DRIVING. YOU KNOW, NEUTRAL PARTY AND ALL THAT. TYRES ARE SET AT 22PSI? YEP. DID THAT MYSELF.

WELL, THAT'S A RELIEF, ISN'T IT? CHUCKLING BECAUSE` OH, NO, DON'T MISUNDERSTAND ME, DENNIS. YOU FOUND NO TECHNICAL MERIT WITH IT BECAUSE YOU JUST HAVEN'T INVENTED MACHINES YET THAT CAN DETECT WHAT THE POLARIZER DOES. ONE DAY YOU WILL SEE THIS WILL DEFINE THE LAWS OF PHYSICS. REALLY APPRECIATE IT, ALLAN, GIVING YOUR OPINION ON HOW SHE DRIVES. WHAT YOU GOT NEW IN HERE? JUST SPOILERS, NEW SUSPENSION. THE USUAL. I'LL LET YOU KNOW. (STARTS ENGINE) TENSE PERCUSSIVE MUSIC WHAT DID YOU THINK? YEAH, IT'S PRETTY GOOD. MUCH BETTER THAN STANDARD CALAIS. MUCH SMOOTHER. THAT'S GREAT, ALLAN. GREAT. THANK YOU! WAIT, PETER. WHAT YOU UP TO?

INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENSION, ALLOY WHEELS, BRIDGESTONE 215 BY 60 STEEL RADIALS, A SUPER MODERN KIT. IT HASN'T GOT A RACING ENGINE, OF COURSE. BUT IT'S GOT A FLEXIBLE ONE WITH GOOD MID-RANGE GRUNT THAT WILL MAKE OVERTAKING EASY. POLARIZER IN IT? IS THAT ALL YOU CARE ABOUT, DENNIS? PETER, OUR MECHANICS HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT THIS CAR, NO MATTER HOW GOOD IT LOOKS ` AND IT DOES; IT LOOKS GREAT ` THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT THIS CAR ABIDES BY AUSTRALIAN DESIGN REGULATIONS. THE POLARIZER WORKS, DENNIS. SO YOU KEEP SAYING. ALLAN MOFFAT DROVE WITH ONE. HEY, HE AGREES WITH ME. GO ASK HIM. HE LOVED IT. THAT'S NOT THE POINT. IF THERE'S A POLARIZER IN THIS CAR AND YOU MAKE CLAIMS ABOUT IT, WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PROVE THAT IT WORKS. IF NOT, WE'RE LIABLE TO ANY DICKHEAD WHO WANTS TO SUE US. PEOPLE DON'T SUE HERE, MATE. THAT'S A YANK THING. THEY WILL. PETER, THEY WILL SUE. OK, I'M NOT MAKING A CAR BY COMMITTEE, OK?! I'VE SOLD THOUSANDS OF CARS FOR HOLDEN. I'VE MADE YOU MILLIONS. I KNOW THE POLARIZER WORKS. I FEEL IT. YOU HAVE TO PROVE IT. I HAVE ` TO MYSELF. WHY DO PEOPLE BUY COMMODORES, PETER? BECAUSE OF YOU. PETER BROCK. YOUR NAME'S ON THEIR BLOODY STEERING WHEEL. THEN WHY WON'T GMH LISTEN TO ME? I TELL THEM THE POLARIZER WORKS, AND THEY WON'T ACCEPT IT. BECAUSE YOU'RE AHEAD OF YOUR TIME, SON. THEY WANT THE CONVENTIONAL. YOU'RE NOT GIVING IT TO 'EM. I THINK THIS MIGHT NOT EVEN BE ABOUT THE POLARIZER. BEV, DON'T` IT'S TRUE. THEY'RE MAKING A FUSS BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING BIGGER THAN HOLDEN. YOU STAND UP TO THEM, AND THEY'RE SCARED OF YOU. YEAH. ONE MAN AGAINST THE CORPORATION. WE'VE HEARD THEY MIGHT EVEN BE LINING UP SOME OTHER BLOKE TO TAKE OVER THEIR SPECIAL VEHICLE DIVISION. ALL RIGHT, BEV. DAD. WE DON'T KNOW THAT FOR SURE. WHAT RUBBISH!

YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU HAD YOUR GIZMO IN IT. I DIDN'T THINK IT MATTERED. YOU TELL SUTCLIFF ABOUT THE OTHER CHANGES YOU'D MADE? THE NEW SUSPENSION, THE SPOILERS, THE CAM SHAFT?

MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST BACK OFF A LITTLE ON THIS POLARIZER STUFF. IF ANY OF YOU SUPPORTED ME ON THIS, IT WOULDN'T BE THE PROBLEM IT IS TODAY. I'M NOT CRAZY. I KNOW. JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND IT AND THEY CAN'T QUANTIFY IT, DOESN'T MEAN IT DOESN'T WORK. IT'S LIKE THE EIFFEL TOWER. IT'S MORE THAN JUST METAL. IT'S ABOUT WHAT IT DOES TO YOU, HOW IT MAKES YOU FEEL. THAT'S RIGHT. (GIGGLES) THANK YOU, JULES. FOR WHAT? LISTENING. OH, BEV, SHE JUST... MAKES PLANS AND... SOMETIMES I NEED SOMEONE WHO LISTENS. I GUESS I'M JUST A PIONEER, AND ALL PIONEERS GET EATEN BY THE NATIVES. DELICATE PIANO MUSIC DON'T GIVE UP. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.

YOU WERE A REAL KNOCKABOUT KID. FAVOURITE MEAL WAS A BURGER, CHIPS AND MASHIES. (SCOFFS) NOW LOOK AT YA. WHAT'S THIS? YOU'RE A BUSH MECHANIC, PETE. YOU BUILD CARS FROM THE GROUND UP. YOU MAKE 'EM GO FASTER THAN ANYONE, WITH YOUR DESIGNS, NOT WITH THIS CRAP. YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE IT. THAT'S YOUR CHOICE. OK. YOU TELL ME HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU WIN A RACE WITH ONE OF THOSE IN THE CAR? DON'T. NO. I'M NOT GONNA FIGHT WITH YOU ABOUT IT, OK? HOOD BANGS SHUTS YOU'VE GOT A GREAT BUSINESS HERE. LOOK T IT. WHAT'S THIS WORTH? 10 MILLION A YEAR. WHERE ELSE YOU GONNA DO THIS? I'M GONNA KEEP DOING IT HERE. LET'S GET REAL ABOUT THIS. YOU WERE NEVER MUCH OF A BUSINESSMAN, PETE. I MEAN, YOU CAN BUILD CARS, YOU CAN DRIVE 'EM FAST. AND I STILL CAN DO THAT BETTER THAN HOLDEN. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT. NAH, IT'S NOT THE POINT. THIS... IS A BUSINESS DECISION FOR THEM. SO THINK ABOUT IT. I'VE GOT THIS UNDER CONTROL. NO. YOU DON'T. YEAH, DENNIS, I AM LISTENING TO YOU, I JUST DON'T AGREE WITH YOU. NO, NO! STOP TALKING. I HAVEN'T FINISHED YET. NOW, WE HAVE BENT OVER BACKWARDS TO PLEASE YOU ON THIS, PETER. BUT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES ARE YOU TO LAUNCH THE DIRECTOR ON FRIDAY NIGHT UNTIL HOLDEN HAS DONE ALL THE TESTS IT REQUIRES. BOYS FOUND THESE IN THE TEST CARS ` WITHOUT MY APPROVAL. LARRY. I AM HERE TO MAKE RACING CARS THAT GO FAST. THAT'S IT. I AM NOT HERE TO GET IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR PRIVATE WAR WITH HOLDEN. ARE YOU AGAINST ME TOO? COME ON, PETER. THAT IS BULLSHIT. AND IT'S GETTING IN THE WAY OF THE TEAM. STOP WITH THE POLARIZER. I WANNA KEEP TRIALLING IT, LARRY. FOR FUCK'S SAKE! THAT'S IT! I QUIT. THE DIRECTOR HASN'T BEEN CRASH-TESTED. IT HASN'T EVEN GOT A COMPLIANCE PLATE. I DON'T WANT TO TALK` NO! THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION. WE NEED THAT CAR TESTED BY FRIDAY. I'LL TRY AND GET YOU A CAR, BUT I CAN'T PROMISE YOU ANYTHING. PETER? DIAL TONE HELEN? I NEED A LETTER DRAFTED TO ALL THE DEALERS. IT'S TO STATE WE WILL NOT WARRANTY ANY BROCK CARS UNLESS THEY HAVE MET ALL OF HOLDEN'S SPECIFICATIONS. AND FROM NOW ON, IF BROCK WANTS A COMMODORE, HE'S GONNA HAVE TO BUY ONE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. YOU'VE GOT ALMOST 30 PEOPLE WORKING HERE. IF HOLDEN PULLS THE PLUG, THEY'RE ALL OUT OF A JOB. WELL, WE'LL LOOK AFTER THEM. YOU CAN'T LOOK AFTER 30 PEOPLE! IF HOLDEN GOES AWAY, THEY'LL REPLACE ALL THOSE VEHICLES OUT THERE. WE'RE GONNA HAVE NO CARS TO SELL, NO FACTORY BACKING, NOTHING! WE HAVE 500 ORDERS OF 50,000 A POP. PETE, YOU DON'T HAVE` THAT'S 250 MILLION EXPORT DOLLARS. YOU HAVEN'T GOT ORDERS. YOU GOT INTEREST, AND YOU KNOW THAT. THEY'LL BE CONFIRMED IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. HOW ` WITHOUT HOLDEN? COME ON, PETE. COME ON. THIS IS NOT BACK WINTON CIRCUIT WITH THE A30 WHERE WE CAN MAKE UP THE RULES. THIS IS GM. CAN'T SCREW WITH THESE GUYS. THIS POLARIZER STUFF, IT'S JUST NOT WORTH IT. DID YOU READ THE CANBERRA TIMES? GOVER BACKED IT. OH, HE'S A FRIEND OF YOURS. WOULD YOU STOP BELIEVING YOUR OWN BULLSHIT? HOLDEN IS GOING TO RUIN YOU OVER THIS. YEAH, BUT I'M RIGHT. LOOK, UH, RIC, YOU'VE GOT A BIG INFLUENCE ON PETER. OH, NO, PETER IS HIS OWN MAN. YEAH, I`I KNOW. BUT, UH, JUST HUMOUR ME FOR A SECOND. YOU'VE GOT AN INFLUENCE ON HIM, AND THE POLARIZER, IT'S NO LONGER A QUESTION OF WHETHER IT WORKS OR` OR IT DOESN'T. THE SIMPLE FACT IS IF PETER GOES AHEAD WITH THIS, GMH WILL RUIN HIM. I THINK YOU MISUNDERSTAND MY ROLE IN ALL THIS. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY MANAGERIAL DECISIONS. MY ROLE... IS TO HELP OTHERS ACHIEVE THEIR MAXIMUM POTENTIAL. AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE'S DOING. HE'S GOING FOR IT. AND THAT'S EXCITING, DON'T YOU THINK? ROCK MUSIC ALL I WANNA DO IS BUILD AN AUSTRALIAN CAR THAT CAN COMPETE IN THE OVERSEAS MARKET, COMPETE WITH BMWS, AND THEY'RE TRYING TO STOP ME. AND WHY IS THAT? WELL, IT'S NOT THE POLARIZER. IT'S GM TRYING TO TAKE OVER MY BUSINESS. TRYING TO STOP A WORLD-BEATER CAR THAT I'M DESIGNING HERE IN AUSTRALIA. AND SO THEY PICK ON THE LITTLE GUY. I CAN THINK OF A FEW BOYS IN CANBERRA THAT MIGHT TAKE A VERY DIM VIEW OF A BIG AMERICAN COMPANY TRYING TO STOP AND AUSSIE BATTLER HAVING A GO. UN FLAG'S A NICE TOUCH. NOT IF HE TAKES IT OFF. YEAH, HE WON'T. WHAT ELSE CAN HE DO? HE'S GOT ALL THESE PEOPLE HERE, HE'S GOT THE PRESS. HE CAN STOP. YOU KNOW, HE COULD LOOK AT US ALL AND SAY, 'SORRY. I'VE MADE A MISTAKE.' NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. TYPING ROCK MUSIC WHATEVER YOU DECIDE, SON, YOU HAVE OUR BACKING. THANKS, DAD. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. I HAVE A CAR HERE IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH YOU CAN SEE, THAT IS CAPABLE OF EARNING US SOME HARD-EARNED EXPORT DOLLARS. AND HOLDEN ARE TYING TO STOP ME. WELL, I'M A PRETTY DETERMINED SORT OF PERSON.

WELL, IF YOU BELIEVE IN SOMETHING, IF YOU KNOW IT'S RIGHT, THEN OF COURSE IT'S WORTH IT. DO YOU THINK THAT PETER CAN WIN WITHOUT GMH? I MEAN, FOR A LONG TIME, A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT THE ONLY REASON THAT HE DOES WIN IS BECAUSE HE HAS GM BEHIND HIM ` BEST CARS, BEST FACTORY. OH, HE'LL WIN AGAIN. YOU'LL SEE. IS HE... HIDING BEHIND YOUR SKIRTS,... HAVING YOU FRONT THE MEDIA? HOW DARE YOU? (SCOFFS) PETER'S GOT MORE GUTS THAN YOU'LL FIND ANYWHERE IN AUSTRALIA AND YOU THINK HE'S HIDING BEHIND MY SKIRT?
