I'm at a loss to find words good enough to capture just how much Neily meant. Luckily, Duncan found some good ones, so I'll just add a few of my favourite Neily photos.

True that! I should have added one for every time Larko stuffs up his session. Though we'd be passed out by now...

I think I'm drunk just watching the pre-race coverage Roy...

Drinking game rules.... CHECK!

I’ll co drive for you Pete- my life insurance is paid up & valid for rallies (suckers!)

Ayersie + Beno + the Just Jap R35 = Awesome!

Forget Red Bull - turns out it's the Cygnet stage that gives you wings

Back to back baby! Well done Liam & Larry - great to see

It'll be good to do the Sideling the proper way again though I think the morning run will mean an 'unclench arse cheeks' note might be needed after the flying finish We're on the boat Friday week.

Burnouts are bad kids- confirmed that we ran days 4&5 with a mostly 2wd GTR! The boys discovered a very shagged pump & suspect the damage was done by some rather 'spirited' launches early on.

Cheers to everyone for all the nice stuff said. We were just happy to get through this one given all of the carnage- the podium spot was a bloody nice bonus. Massive Congratulations to Liam & Larry - so many people were happy to see you take the top step- especially us! If there had been another stage it would have been an SAU 123 for EM. Mel was totally blitzing us at the back end of the event and for it to come down to one second in the end was just incredible. Commiserations to Ben- this can be a rough old game sometimes. It was also great to see Paul running the dirty 30- people (including the Nissan flag boys) were far more interested in that car than those (yawn) 35s! Hopefully we'll add to the dinner set tonight. We could be a good chance for the team award, I'll get my platinum plate and a little birdy has suggested Steve and the Just Jap GTR may be joining the hall of fame

There's a tricky 32 in the full Neesan racing livery running rookie (driven by Dave Thompson). Good luck everyone - catch up with you tomorrow!

Me = another one of the lucky buggers Back in with Steve in the Just Jap car as usual. Hoping to get my platinum plate this year all going well. You need to whisper in someone's ear about another 0 car gig Benny!

Well hello again SAU Tarmac Rallying thread! To say I've been a little quiet of late would be an understatement, but I'm back to talk crap with the best of you Is anyone running the new Poatina Mountain Race this weekend? I thought I spied savman & a new nav on the entry list?

It feels like Bathurst in the nineties all over again
