Good luck to all involved in Targa starting tomorrow. Wish we were out there with you.
Will be watching around Wanganui on Friday and will be at Cop Corner so make sure you put on a show for us Andy!

Anyone know what happened to Andy today - looks like he has maximum times for all except the first stage?

Car broken, big bang half way through stage two at around 160kph as the oil pump drive decided to jump a cog or two, this shaft doubles as the cam sync so nobody home. Long story, short unsure of engine damage, could have repaired the cogs on the crank and the drive, but probably further damage on a very old engine (now over 20,000km's) and once you loose 3 stages you might as well go home if you're interested in results. This is the first DNF for us in a multi day Targa event. Car is home and is hanging its head in a corner. No decent times to show I would say stage 1 would be discounted as a timed stage as there a some serious anomalies.

Thanks for the support from club members.
