broke yet, we thought we&#8217;d step up the game this year and do two rally events.\u00a0 Checking through the calendar, we settled on starting with Rally Whangarei.\u00a0 A two day international rally somewhere up near the equator I think.\u00a0 Checking the calendar, it turns out that it&#8217;s only 3 weeks away on the 4th to 6th of May.\u00a0 Eeek.<\/p>\n<p>Changes to the Motorsport apparel regs this year mean a who new set of clothing was required.\u00a0 And for both of us, that&#8217;s the most expensive suit we&#8217;ll ever buy.\u00a0 And the most expensive underwear also.\u00a0 Oh, and most expensive boots.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/motordrivephotography.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/RaceSuit.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
