What events have you been doing?
G'day Luke, I have been entering a few superkhanas and other tarmac events. I participated in the Albany round the houses this year. It was great fun. I plan to get to Barbagello more often in regulaity events as well. The next event is the shannons classic rally on the 11th September. http://www.classicrally.com.au/shannons_1_day_classic.htm Cars only need to be street legal and have a fire extinguisher. Must have long clothing and approved helmet. Fahley

The Shannons Classic rally has been won and lost. I didnt win my class but had a great day. here are some action shots of the day. My inside wheel was spinning loose all day. The extra torque via the 4.5 hilux diff has magnified the problem. I will need to do something about that. New brakes performed well and i was getting more and more confident as the day went on, they we certainly working better as they bedded in during the day. It was the first drive on my new 15x7 platinum superlites and toyo888 rubber, Wow what a diffenrece they make to the grip. the new brakes and rubber inproved my times in the same course by over 2 seconds from last event. Very happy and more time to be saved when the driver get a little braver on the braking confidence.

Very cool and well done the camera operator. Can't wait to find a good mk1, it's bloody hard to find good ones.

Its been a while since an update on my fun. A new family member has certainly changed my perspective on what's important (well the wifes at least). I traveled to Northam for the flying Fifty event around the houses and Mt Ommanney Hill climb. This gave me a chance to use my new incar camera. Unfortunaltely i learnt an important lesson (Always read the book before operating the camera or you get nothing). All my hill climb video was missed due to me not knowing how to start the recording. I did manage to get some incar footage of the regularity events. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8AiPDPWX2M The video is a bit wobbly due the suction cap fixture to the door window (another learning) Here are some other shots of the car on the day.     The day ended up with me snapping the extractors just before it joins the main system. Bugger, i expect that was a product of it hitting the trailer when loading.
