Here's some of "our" 34 GTR from Rally Burniw 2006. Appo steerin, me navvin. Thanks to the organisers for the pics. It was a very grotty rally, velly velly velly slippy. We were lookin great for 3rd outright until we crashed out about 3 klms from the end of the very last stage We had spun twice previously, the road was SO cold and we just couldn't get heat into the rubber.

Sadly the car was sold last week and has gone to WA

Not really the most exciting of pics but it might help revive the thread coz I love it

Oh, and here's the result! After we towed it out we drove to the finish, only suffered a dented front gaurd. The tree fern was holding the car up from falling over quite literally a 30ft 75 degree slope onto rocks which when I disembarked went for a slide down......... Nice. Yes I got dirty.

Thanks Chrisso for the fail pics

The problem with rallying in Australia is the spectators have no commitment. Not like Portugal in the Group B days.

Farkin nutters!

No wonder so many people were killed. Would be so tough on the drivers!

Some great pics there Ben, love the first one

Those were the "good ole days"! lol - would have been a huge challenge for the crew.

None of the drivers miss it I'm sure, and there's enough silly/nieve spectators and/or officials that let people and themselves stand is stupid spots. Witness Targa Tas '06, Mini into crowd at the Domain. Not good.

That is crazy shit. I recon he would have had to get a custom made seat to accommodate his oversized go nads.
