Race Car

3rd day on the road. Today being the first day of reconnaissance. Awesome start to the day. The Saturday stages are looking fantastic. Roads are in great condition. Still found some puddles to play in though. Managed to put all the rally decals on the car, so that’s now looking […]

Another day, more driving

There are not many numbers left in the count down. We head north in two days.  Recce in 4 days.  Rally start in 5 days. Most of the To Do list has been completed. Scrutineering passed happily with some minor suggestions to attend to.  One of which involved being under […]

Rally Whangarei count down

Clearly blog writing shouldn’t be one of my goals since I quite clearly suck at keeping up with it. However, I’m gonna try again. So welcome to 2018, we’re only 1/3 of the way through the year so far, so why not do a blog. Because we enjoyed Rally NZ […]

2018. New goals.

Apologies to my avid readers.  Both of them.  🙂 This year has been quite mental. However, the rally plans are in full swing and scarily, the entry form has been sent off. So with 36 days remaining (I really wish I hadn’t calculated that) preparations are ramping up. Currently studying […]

Countdown has begun…

So much for blogging more.  It’s been just over a month and I haven’t put fingers to keyboard.  Whoops. However, it’s not been all fails.  The busy times have started.  Dual event weekend back in mid Feb with Millstream Road.  Nice piece of gravel road up near Dannevirke. Lesson learned […]

Goal fail

It’s November.  Means a break for a few weeks after 6 events in 6 weeks.  Good for the budget.  And the various small jobs that need doing on the car now. For example, during some of the commuting to the further away events I started noticing some shuddering from the […]

Busy busy

It’s been a busy few weeks and feels like I’ve spent most of the time driving.  Not that that’s a particularly bad thing as I do like driving.  Handy given my main hobby. The last two weekends have seen us covering around 1200km in touring, firstly to TECT All Terrain […]

Road tripping

It’s been longer than I planned between blogs and I have been working on this on over the last couple of weeks.  Been a little bit busy with road trips, car repairs and events.  Plus that work thing that I have to do to pay for it all.  But here […]

G4, 36, 185, 362, VF28, VF30, VF37, 250,000, 1150. Just some of the numbers from the last 4 days. Starting with the biggest.  250,000 is about the number of kms I suspect the turbo has done.  It’s certainly the factory spec VF28 turbo, whether or not it’s previously been replaced […]
