They too can be very pedantic but this guy is good to deal with.
With a full 3D measure of the structure and 4 wheel alignment as part of the cert make the car every bit as good as it was before and all measurements back withing factory tolerances.

Bubba. Have you repaired the Macca cup yet? There is/was a new one at CCS for you to buy and have engraved if you like? Ill bring you back those blue suede platforms and maybe we can prize the thing from your clutches for someone else to take a turn. Make sure you bring it on the 28th please (not kidding) as I think its time we gave out another award and I know Pete has a mental collection names brewing in his head for worthy contenders.

I was surprised at how much speed that GT3 was carrying.
SI Targa Tour must have been a bit boring with the speed limit (following Matt G would have been faster on SITT), but targa proper would have been awesome on those open sweeping roads.......

I think the decision is made - just finding the appropriate car (and somewhere to store it)

For reference we had 2 very good runs through that stage, pressing on somewhat which we were not always doing across the whole 5 days. (hard knocks teaches you that can't drive aggressive for 5 days otherwise something bad happens). Our results were I think 35sec and 26 secs faster.
I thought some stages were fantastic like that one and Glenorchy but there were also too many poinjt and squirt roads where you just sat on 200k and the stage time depended on whether you buttoned off over the crests or not

I hear you Dave. I'm definitely more of a crotchless pantihose kinda guy when in the tropics. Been keeping an eye out for a grey camo baseball cap too, like the tank drivers wear (and those stalking german driving machinery). But no luck yet. Will let you know if anything turns up.

Good thinking. I already went through same machinations before the Cyclone and while we were awaiting the outcome from Quinns offer to TMP shareholders. I reckon it could be done but would require the financial resources of the 5 strongest Car clubs in NZ and a friendly banker. Finding a way to make it work operationally so it doesn't eat its tail off is the challenge. With Quinn taking out HD (likely?) and with Highlands and with only two sanctioned big $$$ series I believe each year to provide a chance at profit Taupo is not looking promising as a viable stand alone business model. A real shame because its located in a great spot.

I agree there is a bit of patina that's been introduced :-). Would look better partially panel beaten on a timber plinth as Bubba keeps threatening to do I reckon. I might have to take that on as a project when Im back....
