^^^^^ Ahhhh, but you will never feel more alive! Right up until the point that you reach into your bag of talent and come up empty handed. :)

But I hear you Bris. I reckon dreaming it and then building it is at least half the fun.

Im currently working in ENZUD in New Plymouth and the heading off to Thailand...till the end of the year...(building up the stash of cash) required for next years Targa fun..

The 2012 plan is Adelaide then High Country and then Tasmania Rookie rounds....

G'day Chris and welcome to our little corner of the world mate.

Have you recently purchased Kermit?

Yeah I bought the car a couple of years ago as a completed car (ex Targa Tasmania car built in NSW specifically for Tazy)

I have attached a HPI link tbelow hat details the cars background and specs if your intersted in having a look

Cheers :cheers:

Yeah mate, I know the car well :)

The last time I saw her I think she was parked on the roof of a Falcon on the right hander at spectator point on Rhianna stage? lol

You for real cob?? how bad was the bingle??

The Cams Log book notes some repairs were done and then signed off...

It drives straight and hard, you wouldn't pick its been on a bad stack..

Can you confirm any previuos info??

cheers

lol true story. The amazing thing was how far off the road it happened. Once again proving that stopped cars off the road are magnets to other cars.

Seriously though....the cars is what it is. If it aligns up correctly, drives well and has no badly repaired damage/rust etc then it is all good. Pretty much every car that has run targa has left the road, some big, some small, some through a whole potato field and 2 fences (lucky the potatos did not get out really). Mine has had 3 reasonable offs and drives beautifully, Greg's car was rolled 3 times at surfer's paradise and you can't see a single scratch on the roof anymore, plenty of evos have been pulled out of the top of trees where they were stuck like xmas decorations etc etc

Cars like women have histories. Some times its better you dont know too much about where they ahve been. :)

Agreed!!!

I think I will take your advice and adopt the "nothing to see here..move along" approach.......:whistling:

The boy and myself have been having a ball in any case.

Thanks for your feedback

^^^ Doesnt sound like you have much to worry about. I chucked my old EMO into the bush on its first outing. Was a bit of a repair job but it came back just as good as ever. If its driving well, then you probabaly dont have anything to worry about.

I am sure we could keep working with the analogy above, but I migh leave it alone. :)

LOL, sorry to keep you in suspenders for so long before replying! Hope it didn't wreck you day!

From what I saw it's absolutely nothing to be worried about, it kind of just "plopped" onto a spectator's car when she gently understeered off over a steep drop. The Falcom luckily broke the fall I reckon! It would have driven away if it could have just been able to reverse off it. Damage would have been negligible.

Schweet!!

Thanks for your feedback :happy:

If you're looking for good footage for your sponsors, I can recommend a fence and field to plough through.....

Most accidents these cars are in are merely flesh wounds, and people who race these events rarely skimp on repair quality, like for instance, road car repairs are done.

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
