Wooo! Thanks Duncan. Still can't believe we did it. Managed 6th outright too which I'm amazed with. I'll post up some videos tomorrow. Time to party now...

Obviously 32 GTRs and Evo 4s aren't video worthy! :D

I know :) Ive sent the guy a message hoping to hear back to see if he has any extra footage of the GTR...

The Lambo flamage is so cool tho :banana: Jason is a pretty cool guy!

I'm always amused by the old "driver needs nav" thing...... like, what happened to the last poor bastard who sat beside you?

Haha - doesn't say much for me does it. My next rally is likely to be Targa High Country which will be my fouth rally and will most likely be with my fourth different Nav!

But I can see it's going to be harder and harder to find new ones since my old ones all seem to get abducted!

One was abducted by an EMO, one by Indians and the other by Aliens (who removed his manhood)*

*this may not be true but its the only logical answer I can come up with so far.

Before I forget.... came across the best.rallystory.ever. recently...

How A $500 Craigslist Car Beat $400K Rally Racers

Proves there's yet hope for all of us backyard races :(

Trying to choose my favourite quote:

Parked the crapcan with Loeb, Hirvonen, the whole crew. I can only imagine what the other drivers where thinking when they strapped in: "WTF? I wasn't even born when that model came out."

OR...

Got there too late to do reconnaissance and had to mooch stage notes from the Peruvian rally champion. Dude is cool but notes are in Spanish or something. So e's are rights and d's are lefts?

OR

I once asked Bill why he insisted on going through every spectator section crossed up and with the engine banging off the limiter. "Dude," he said, "I don't care if it costs me a couple of tenths. It makes the fans go nuts."

So for those unaware, Lake Mountain saw some interesting times when a high profile Porsche (may have been driven by one K. Weeks) came upon a fellow competitior coming back down the stage on a closed road...Needless to say, Mr Weeks was very animated when he was telling us at the start line on the next stage.

Video evidence has now emerged...

You only need to watch the first minute!

Little Emo spun and decided it would be a great idea to go back down the stage a little to turn around, as where he spun was armco on one side, cliff face on the other...stupid stupid decision.

Worst part is, he'll be at Targa! :(

LOL, last weekend would have taking a lot of string pulling for both of us...but Targa High Country, just look at India as the driving force for me losing my will to live and in part losing my fear of death....plus all those drunk'n tuk-tuk rides means i am far better prepared for sitting in the silly seat :banana:

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.

      SAU NSW - R U OK? Southern Highlands Cruise

      By Matt Z · Posted

      Our Southern Highlands Cruise is proudly registered with “R U OK?” Day.  Sometimes the best way to check in on your mates is by getting out for a drive together. Sharing a common passion like cars creates the perfect space to chat, connect, and support each other.  A simple “R U OK?” can make all the difference. Let's enjoy the drive, the company, and look out for one another. PLEASE WEAR YELLOW FOR “R U OK?” DAY Sunday 14th September 2025 9:30AM Meeting Crossroads Homemaker Centre 10:00AM Cruise Departure Via Old Hume Hwy 11:45AM Arrival at Mittagong RSL Club Meet Location: Crossroads Homemaker Centre Final Destination: Mittagong RSL Club *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
