Glad to see everyone getting pumpededed :)

I too am catching the fever, just booked flights to come down and lend moral support and try and watch a few stages! You guys better be prepared for a stage streaker!!!!

I'm arriving the 30th and am out on the 3rd after the epic pissup "D

Yeah it's getting there. I just hope it's all sorted when it gets back

Yeah Chris worked on it all day yesterday.

The good news is he is coming to Tas next week now as well. He's sitting in my silly seat :)

Saw your car in the flesh today Matt - it sure looks sweet.

I put my car through its paces today and it passed with flying colors. I also found someone to jump in the silly seat so it looks like I'm going to be back in the game!

Team Last Minute FTW.

Team Last Minute FTMFW!

Our car was finished off on saturday, its back to the original 944 Big Block after the 968 disaster last year.

Signwriter today, dyno tomorrow then on the boat later in the week.

Posts like these leave me sad and give me the feeling you'd already moved on :(

On the upside, I can't wait for you guys to whip Snowy with under 3 litres of naturally aspirated pus. :P lol

Moved on? Never! Just a broad minded person!

Im sure Snowy will have some excuse if we beat him...

Team Last Minute isn't that much FTW anymore. LOL

I'm struggling to get across to Tas (I do have a Sat night booking which means I will have 1 day to recce the whole event currently) and at this stage the 1st boat home is May 9th! LOL

Try the spirit of tassie frieght 0364217322. Thats how I got my car over and back to Racepace this week. Only thing is you would have to fly over.

It's OK - TTTNOJDB it is.

I have to say you picked a tough year to do Rookie though Matt. There are 4 pretty damn decent steerer's that I know of in Rookie this year. Glad I did it last year thats for sure. But Rookie should make for some interesting following this year.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
