In addition to raking up wins in the Australian V8 Supercar series, this Falcon manages to play a simple version of the Australian folk tune. More proof that we need the 2008 Ford FG Falcons here in America. Did you hear that Mark Fields? Won't you let the Falcon go Waltzing Matilda with us? [V8SC via World Car Fans]

Apparently that's not an unusual thing — but it's certainly unusual to us to see a kangaroo take a flying leap into the midst of the Bathurst 1000 V8 supercar championship race this past weekend. Little Skippy went a-hoppin' and a-leapin' onto the racetrack and somehow managed to neither cause himself or any racecar any serious injury. By the way, didja see how fast those Ford V8's swerved out of the way — we've never seen a Ford corner so fast in all our lives.
