Targa Tasmania 2009

[t01-100]

First pics of the recently finished Benson Motorsport's supported Nismo 400R of David Ayers and Robbie Bolton all ready for Targa Tasmania 2009

Some of the paint was a bit of a last minute rush due to freight issues and the kit being damaged in transit... it will be refinshed post event, but I think you'll agree it looks awesome!

Looks great Stu!

Here's a quick vid of some interesting times we've had with the locals whilst doing recce. Most love the R35 but it seems some not so much so...

Ouch you wont forget one that in a hurry. So lucky you had that rough dirt road.

[sav man]

Tassie farmers rock. Hopfully I should catch up with all you guys tomorrow. Didn't make it last night cause Ben's phone service is shit, and I didn't have any other numbers to ring.

Fark snowman - was he just going for the dirt road or was it intentional?

Remember hearing one farmer put oil all over one of the stages years back.

[sav man]

2007 a farmer dumped oil on natone, and the stage was canned. it's been a regular thing over the years.

Finished our recce, what an adventure! treatourous rain, fog, rain, wind, did i mention rain? oh and recce in the dark is no fun! Our recce car got a flat 3/4 through strahan and we were stranded cos it had no jack, wheel brace or wheel key. Yay!

Ill give everyone a tip ive changed some of my notes to say f**kING SLIPPERY!!!! (no joke!)

not violent my arse. I know of a certain pimply faced youth who has a scar from where you sconned him with a muffin (pun intended)! he is still scared whenever baked good are around.

[Roy]

Turn left Old Son, my life is in your hands!

wooah I would have definatley changed my jocks after that close encounter!

[Necx0]

Best of luck everyone, I will be at the finish so might meet a few if Timmy is kind enough to introduce me haha

You know the sad thing is yesterday I was diagnosed with a hiatis hernia so I almost might have to start becoming a health freak.

Mind you they say one of the biggest killers for me is coffee and I'm not giving that up for anything! LOL

That's along with spicy food, fatty food and alcohol - which means if I was to take all of them out of my current diet I'd be left with just the water I drink each morning in the shower.

I have had that for a couple of years mate. Its not a whole lot of fun, you will generally feel pretty shit each day especially in the morning but you adapt and don't notice it so much eventually. Get on Somac 40mg makes life a whole lot more enjoyable.

[omega36]

Goodluck guys... watch out for the locals

[Merli]

LOVE the girly gasp

How lucky are you that there was that ad-hoc dirt track there?!?!

I'm surprised that you didn't pull out and have words with your new friend.
