Video is up on the Youtube page and the Facebook page has a heap of photos.
We lost the clutch slave cylinder yesterday near the end of The Sideling stage. They have airfreighted a part over from Melbourne and the car is down at Jackson VW up on the hoist getting the new one installed and we will be rejoining tomorrow for the run down the west coast on Saturday and then on to Hobart on Sunday.
just had a look at one of the video's!
The car really sings!
Best of luck!!!

Thanks mate,
Well we finished and while our overall result sucked after missing a day with the clutch slave cylinder issue we did end up coming in second place in the teams competition behind the dream team of Tony Quinn, Jamie Vandenburg and Barrie Smith so we are more than chuffed with that result.
Some images from the official photographer.

Well, we just had the one hour footage of last weeks Targa on TV and sorry guys, no R32's were featured.
The show was great though and they covered more of the less moderns for a change.
Gotta give respect (heaps) to Paul Batten in the very old Volvo, seeing him pass WRX's in the pouring rain shows just how talented some of the fellas are.
