Nup! not at all
First ten means nothing to the nine after after No. 1 except for Piglet and Woggie.
What you should look at is the No. of vehicles terminated.
Quote
The total number of terminated vehicles at the end of the OBC 2005 was eight
33 Steven Waterford and Steven baker Nissan
54 Robert Szczupak and Peter Mildwaters Rangie
32 Celia and Eugene Barry Suzuki
12 Henry and Robin Lefever Nissan
19 Greg and Andrew Scanlon Nissan
26 Max Baerlocher and Craig Cooper JEEP
31 Bill Lynne and Jeff Newick Nissan
43 Cris Ingram and Jermey Berg Hilux ( not a real Yota) Sth African that suffered 1 or 2 roll overs and heaps of other driver induced damage.

You don't have to be Albert E to figure this one out.

Hey Ken,
to be realistic you have to tell us too what ALL the entries were. I am sure a lot were actually hybrids.
Don't you like to provide all the evidence for a case mate?

govo I think Ken was trying to say that a few Nissans were in the retired list and no Tojos. I want him to come clean and tell us how many Tojos were entered in comparison to Nissans.
Heaps of vehicles are actually hybrid vehicles and the mechanicals bear little semblence to the original.....

No the Toyotas self destructed so compleytely that the were unrecognisable other than their cannibalised Nissan parts used to keep them going past the first day.
Thats probably why some of the list above are called Nissan not Toyota as the only recognisable parts found after the failure were nissan, unbroken and proud hahahaha

Regardless of the make or model, I think it's reasonable to say that with these vehicles .. the only resemblance to stock standard is the body, grill and name badge.
Much like the
Bathurst jobs.
