The Beable Files

[Bass Junky]

Hey guys,

As per last year, I'll update daily the results of our almost platinum Targa competitor.

Jeff Beable, car 942, 2001 R34 GTR V-Spec N1

Normally runs in the top 10 in prologue (and the rest of the results) but this year blew a hose and had virtually no boost, hence no power, and ran 29th.

No breakages, will update tomorrow arvo.

BASS OUT

Live results here:

Jeff running a very credible 29th, 31st, 22nd and 22nd in the Prologue and first 3 stages

Sadly both Craig in the 'Polite' Mustang (organisers wouldn't let him run with Barricade 'Police' signage - something about impersonating a police car...)

and the Barbie-pink 'Donunt King' R35 GT-R - are OUT

Keep going hard Jeff - best of luck!

Great work Jeff, was wondering if an update was coming.

Signage is great, reminds me of Buzzin Hornets on the old Jordan F1's when tabacco sponsorship wasn't permitted a few years ago in Europe instead of Benson and Hedges. Shame about the retirements though.

I've been speaking with Jeff daily.

As per normal, he's slowly getting faster, as per normal, I think he's hovering about 20th at the moment.

He told me of a tank slapping incident at about 180 kph over the top of the hill yesterday :S

Balls of steel I tells ya.

[Bass Junky]

So Jeff has finished unscathed as usual and picked up a handy 20th position outright a field of fierce competition.

This year, very few of the front runners had any issues and for the most part, they stayed on the road.

Position 20, 942 Beable, Jeff Beable, Nerida VIC VIC 2000 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec N1 CM23 14 4 20:33

Congrats to Jeff and Nerida for a solid drive.

Go team!

Well done Jeff

& also congrats to Jenna Kelley another SAU Vic member!!!

[saff_cossie]

Well done SAU representative! Excellent result.

Was watching RPM yesterday to see if there was any footage of him but just some annoying Aurion.

[adznight]

What's the story with pink bits?

[Ant97GTR]

Congrats to all who flew the SAU flag

Adz.....apparently ran over a rock that popped two tyres (F + R) and then popped the remaining front in the emergency brake. They couldn't get Targa approved size tyre replacements so had to pull out.

[Mavric]

Congrats to all that competed

Top work....

[AGE]

I belive a new SAUVIC member (or soon to be), finshed in 4th... stay tuned for more results!

Well done to The Beables in finishing 20th. The pace was crazy at the top this year, hell. even Richards and Oliver couldn't stay in touch with the Evo of Glenny and Webb!

I belive a new SAUVIC member (or soon to be), finshed in 4th... stay tuned for more results!

Tiges and Myself didn't want to hijack the Beable's thread Age, so we put a report in the Targa '08 thread HERE.
