    Hi Everyone,
    First post ever, please correct me if this is in the wrong section.
    I have a VE SV6 with 2 signatures on the engine, would like to know if anyone can confirm who they belong to.
    Ive been told a few different answers and the original owner was unavailable.
    Your help is highly appreciated!

    umm... they havent been signed by the same person, no way OP has Garth's signature.

    Every letter is different, like as in completely different.

    The Tander signature looks real enough to me when compared to the vinyl decal below it. Sometimes when you are signing stuff you are either in a hurry, using a borrowed pen - they don't always work properly, you are signing on a rough surface or the angle you are signing at screws up your natural pen stroke. I've seen Frank sign a million things over the years and sometimes he signs two things at once. One with the left hand, one with the right hand. Both legitimate signatures. It met Garth Tander at last years Townsville V8 Supercars. He went back stage to say hello to the guys from Thirsty Merc and Wolfmother. He's a genuine guy and he was signing all sorts of stuff. A lot of guys were collecting signatures on the engine covers of VE's. Wished I'd thought of that! If you are planning on keeping the signature then dont forget to clear coat it with a 2 pac clear. You can buy it in a spray can from a paint supplier for about $20. I collect a lot of signatures on telecasters and clear coat them using the same stuff.

    I had my VE engine cover signed by heaps of drivers at the Eastern Creek test day last year. I missed out on Lowndes and Murph though. I haven't cleared coated mine yet and the sigs are still okay. I plan on taking it out of the car and replacing it with engine covers anyway.

    Thanks for that response. I will be selling the car shortly so I just wanted to confirm the signatures. One of them resembles a signature of lowndes but I'm not certain. Anyone agree? Cheers

    Here's the other picture for anyone who couldn't work out how to fix the link:


    Just going buy V8 supercar drivers like the other sig, there's only 4 drivers I found with names starting with W. Will Davidson, Warren Luff, Wayne Gardner, Win Percy and Will Power which I'd have to assume it is.

    [edit]
    Except Will Power drove Fords and his autograph is a bit different. haha.

    Will Davidson and Win Percy are/were both associated with HRT.
    [more edit]
    Will Davidson was Garth Tander's team mate...

    Also, Garth and Will were together in HRT both 2009, 2010 which gives it away
