AIDS boy?

LOL - don't worry mate. I'm pretty sure you can't catch it through an intercom.

I've always wondered if the poor condition of the roads is the reason they took the stages around Hobart out of the main Targa event. I drove down the first bit of the Longley stage this morning and yeah...its bit embarrassing. Has the potential to be an awesome road.

I was under the impression that it was to do with poor road conditions and lack of community/council support. Could be wrong though.

Toll is the way to bring your car and trailer to tassie. it's 1/2 the price of the spirit, and you can carry fuel (legally). You can only bring one person per car though, but you're still well ahead even with some cheap flights thrown in for the crew.

Oh noes, my ABS has failed and the car is undriveable Sorry, can't help myself when a gem like that comes along

[2pee]

Someone else did have ABS failure, resulting in something more than locking brakes - still in hospital. Probably impolite to ask just now, but I'm assuming no HNR being worn....going by the fracture.

Oh and the 8 tyre rule seems a sop to the morbidly obese GTR, etc, in late and will entrench evos in EM. Make them carry em I say if they can't make the distance!

[navdan]

Unfortunately Toll is only in the region of $400 cheaper return...the whole bass straight xing is still a rip in my opinion seeing as if you're towing a caravan the spirit is only a couple of hundred bux return, yet mention a car trailer and you're looking at 1500+ incl accom.

Oh, and the spirit is conveniently upping their rates just before targa and dropping again not too soon after...

[sav man]

A converted bus (or "camper van")is the go. But they cost a fortune to setup

I think they keep the fairs so high to keeps the locals in.

costs the same for a caravan as a car trailer its only motor homes that get cheaper rates

Yeh that one was kept pretty quiet,

and I think a big congrats needs to go out to CycloneGTR? I believe maiden victory?

[sav man]

Is that the Ric Shaw crash? Tarmac Mag's facebook page was the only place that had any details on the crash, they had a message that he was still on hospital last night.

[CycloneGTR]

Thanks Tim, shows you do have to do recce in a GTR

[CycloneGTR]

All you Victorian based crews, Mt Baw Baw Sprint next weekend the road is a buzz better than Bulla a good hit out before Targa 190 klm cheap entry close to home can it get any better.

[Snowman]

LOL - I'm not yet convinced it's going to be better than Buller - which is one of the best tarmac roads I've driven!

But having checked it out last weekend it's definitely a buzz (and better than Lake Mountain).

[Marlin]

True, nicely done Cyclone! How is David, living in Noosa yet?

And my hat goes off to Eddie Macguire with Steve Glenney calling in Showroom 4WD, first tarmac rally, totally legal Aussie delivered 6 speed equiped Evo 8 GSR, 180kw ATW.... and smashed them senseless! Word from a strong competitor was "how the hell do we compete with THIS!?!?!)
