Alright guys,

Updates and things and stuff..!

Today, we trek up to Mt Buller for the start of Targa High Country. Its a fairly chilly day in Melbourne, but I hate to think how cold its going to be up there!!
So Bensale and I are taking his na6 up to mix it with the Targa Racing Team, so be sure to keep up to date with all the fun here : Targa Australia

Here is the new CF boot in all its glory, from Autokonexion.

What else has been happening?
Well the interior is painted.. New Crystal White.

My RB bar is back from Berkeley Vale Smash Repairs and looks fantastic.

The bootlid that I am giving to Bensale, has been bogged, filled and primed for paint along with the rest of the car.

Also invested in something rather special, with thanks going to Rev9 and Trap!

Great to see the progress.
Good hunting result with that console; will really make your carpet console look classic.

Keep up the reporting and pics. Looks like you will have a busy weekend.

Just a bit jealous of your boot lid. :lol:

How much was shipping from Autokonexion?

Yesterday was Targa High Country Prologue, check out all the action here!!
Some great work from Bensale. Our mx5 features breifly, but there are some awesome cars and some fellow forum members.

Nice reel there, a credit to Ben!

I hope we see your mugs on one, when there's some MX5 coverage.

Nice to see a Kermit NB as well as the couple of shots of the NC, Ben, thanks! You are very accommodating.

Thanks Alex for accommodating this OT topic. I'll follow the videos from Ben's thread now, unless of course you get some coverage too.

So overall, who is looking like the outstanding teams for this year? Too early to tell?

That rounds out Targa High Country 2011, big thanks to all the officials, volunteers, event orgainsers, competitors and Mt Buller. It was a fantasic weekend as always, my favourite event in the championship. We had a great shakedown in the mx5 and I'm looking forward to 8 weeks time at Wrest Point, looks like I'll be in a serious weapon then ;) so pumped.
For those of you playing at home we continued our neat line of results adding a 5th to the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th of last season.
Big thanks out to Targa Racing, Chris, Lou, Matt, Loo Loo, Adam and Tracey. The event wouldn't have run half as smoothly without you.
Congtatulations to Adam Spence and Tracy Button on their 3rd place, you guys worked hard and put in a fantastic drive. All our Targa Racing cars made it through the event unscathed.
That can't be said for the White's Lamborghini.

Day 2s video will be out soon, rally after parties make the even seem tame so you'll have to forgive the delay.

You really don't want to know... Next time I see you I'll make sure your sitting down and I'll let you know. If you do get one I'm looking at some other bits so maybe share shipping??
