Targa Tas 07

[Duncan]

yeah we had an average day.

Our gearbox broke in Mole Creek just before lunch, only have 3/4 and 5 left. We decided to retire since we have run out of "Request to Restart" forms.

Mark and Scott had a small off. Which in turn led to the car kinda tipping off the road and rolling 5 times down into the gully. They are both fine but the car is a little second hand.

Which I guess closes our Targa Adventure for this year.

a message from Mark:

this was about 10 seconds before....will post an after photo when they recover it from the gully

Nah just kidding mate, looks like targa bit hard this year, we all managed to fall of the road. I will post pics of the hinter on monday when we gat it back from Bischino.

Better luck next year for all those who are attending.

[Whiplash]

[Michael_1882]

Sorry to hear

Loading site now,

Sullens still in the lead? (fingers crossed)

[Michael_1882]

Woooooooo 50 second lead over Richards.

He's out there doing it for all the privateers, proveing that a car build yourself and driving talent can beet all the professionals.

First time back since winning in 2004 and hopefully his return will reward him with another victory.

What happened to Greg (Targa Tom)?

And yes looks like Sullens still holds a 54 sec gap to Richards, how is it possible that car can be so good?

I've seen stages of the build up at his house, and i could see how confident he was with this car, over any previous car he build himself. The car still has so much more potential from us as tuners perspective, running stand turbo and pretty sure exhaust. I'm not 100% but he was saying the car could be lighter but, had to keep it to a certain wait due to rules.

I think it all comes down to driver, the car is very good =) but after watching Tony in NSW ralley events his driving is really on a level above his competers, considering he's a "privateer" and raced his own cars as a hoby.

He give people out there the realisation that you don't have to be a "professionaly" driver with an expensive top of the range, newest car to win. He is... a true car enthusiest.

Good luck to him, hopefully he wins again, he deserves it.

fark me, i recon there would be less damage/breakages at a destruction derby!

what is it that makes targa so hard on the cars?

[Duncan]

Mark and Scott took this:

And added it to this:

f**king hell! it looks like someone has been hitting it with a wrecking ball. glad they are ok.

[Duncan]

BTW a joke we made up today...

whats Red and Black and Green all over?

an EB falcon with a green gtr parked on its roof in a dam.

So that's two down this year. But I think all the other skylines survived

[PHaT MR30]

Oh its painful just looking at that pic

[JAS-25T]

Well I finally made it home after all the issues we had - Everyone is in one peice which is the main thing - Marks car is dead as a door nail.

Had lots of fun though

Those pics of marks car and the drop dont do it justice.

Hey Duncan - I missed that joke about the green skyline ahhahhaah
