Leakey, you are an absolute genius.
I love that. Real pity the 'office crew' didn't go for your initial pic. I am blown away with that.
"WHERE IS MY PAINTER !!!
Baron, the bonnet is satin, not quite matt and looks great.
Maybe this pic is better.
Look forward to saying G'day Jono. Keep an eye out for an article in The West too.
Thanks all.

Leakey, I like your idea
I can't believe how awesome this thing looks. Every photo just keeps getting better! The Satin black is to reduce glare, is it not?

Well done Welby...lookin sweet
Good luck with your testing and first race meeting.... my thing was fun at my first test
it spat me off the track at about 140kph and I went for a big slide for about 150 meters on wet grass... lol ...I hit a ripple strip with the rear tyres as I gave it a boot full and it cocked me sideways in a blink..
anyhow good luck and keep it straight...

Just a quick question, when you restored the front end, did you use all new bolts and if so, where did you source them?

Well done Welby, last weeks paper & the full back page
in todays motoring section, all credit to you as we all agree
on the quality of your build-up.
Any chance you can post the Targa West program for the
Saturday & Sunday stages as we'd like to get out & watch
the Torrie in action. We'll try & get some pics & post them.
Cheers Jono
Caversham Next week!

Best spot is to look at Targa West for all the info.
You can download the maps as well.
Zig Zags should be fun to watch (and hear)
Cheers for all you positive comments.

Thanks very much mate.
Post any pics, 'cos we are running short.
We had people coming up all weekend telling us how good the car sounded through the valleys. Pity we couldn't get the zig zags right. At least we didn't bend anything.
Appreciate your comments.

Here we go, thanks to Brian @ Circlework for these.
Welby
A little on the gas - Chittering long, 2nd fastest time of the stage , in spite of the collector pipes falling off on one side !
Car was really nice Sunday - Racecourse, second last stage.
and Western Range, the best and my favourite stage.
Stone damage is quite harsh. Thanks to R spec rubber and loose stone wa country roads - Bindoon Country
and finally, day 1 McNess Drive in the wet. Aquaplane away !
