t01-100 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 First pics of the recently finished Benson Motorsport's supported Nismo 400R of David Ayers and Robbie Bolton all ready for Targa Tasmania 2009 Some of the paint was a bit of a last minute rush due to freight issues and the kit being damaged in transit... it will be refinshed post event, but I think you'll agree it looks awesome!

paulR32gtr Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Fark snowman - was he just going for the dirt road or was it intentional? Remember hearing one farmer put oil all over one of the stages years back.

Necx0 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Best of luck everyone, I will be at the finish so might meet a few if Timmy is kind enough to introduce me haha You know the sad thing is yesterday I was diagnosed with a hiatis hernia so I almost might have to start becoming a health freak.Mind you they say one of the biggest killers for me is coffee and I'm not giving that up for anything! LOL That's along with spicy food, fatty food and alcohol - which means if I was to take all of them out of my current diet I'd be left with just the water I drink each morning in the shower. I have had that for a couple of years mate. Its not a whole lot of fun, you will generally feel pretty shit each day especially in the morning but you adapt and don't notice it so much eventually. Get on Somac 40mg makes life a whole lot more enjoyable.

Merli Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 LOVE the girly gasp How lucky are you that there was that ad-hoc dirt track there?!?!
