Car handles the bumps on the fast bit at 7:45 well. Good setup lads. Lots of torque too it sounds like. Goin great guns!

Keep it up!

RB20 with Talk???? There is only one "Roy" that would believe that

Ben looked as good as anyone at Paloona yesterday.

Think Quinies Exit may have been mechanical rather than political

TT

What happened with Ben and Damo?!?! Dropped about a minute over The Sideling!? :(

Come on lads, you can make up the time through Longford! Time deductions for skids!?

FB says they had a fuel pump die.

All fixed now and back on pace!

You'd know if you hadn't become a Facebook outcast.

Apology accepted :P

And just quietly, how awesome is the old bugger Beable going! You've still got it Jeff! Cracking time up over Rossarden. Still hard to keep a good RB26 down :)

Keep up the great work everyone.

The lift pump started to fail at the morina start line, and got progressively worse. It was a fine line between loosing time, and melting the engine. We have replaced both pumps and are ready to go again

Beable knows the roads so well and his car! Does Beable do any other motorsport besides Targa Tas once a year?

Going excellent Ben! Keep up the good work and stay safe! So cool to see you in 2nd place under Pritchard..Keep those Porsches on there toes :)

Well, it's no Evo **cough **stroker but she goes alright!

Looking forward to your Paloona footage Benji, good stage that juan there!!

C'mon Benny Strokers drive Nissans too... I always said those RB24s would be a good thing.

In all seriousness BM - well done. You have been a quite achiever for some time. Enjoy your 15min - it is reward for your years of disappointment. Old fella still going OK too

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
