Targa Adelaide

Postby 240 » Tue Aug 14, 2012 10:55 am

Is anyone driving in Targa Adelaide that the Adelaide locals need to keep an eye out for?

Should be a gun event.

Our workshop has fully rebuilt one of the MGs racing. Sounds VERY angry! Will be eager to see how they go.

Looking forward to the night stage tomorrow night around the Wayville showgrounds, will be a real challenge as the surface is dirty & undulating. Should look good too, with the flames spitting out the back of the Lambo's.

Best of luck Alex, look forward to seeing Ben's videos from the event.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

We've both had a few changes of plans... But are here :) Going to get to enjoy this event... Compared to the usual stress fest and staying up to at least 4am each day to get videos out.

Thanks Ben, just hope there's a break in the weather, as there's a bit of a rain band coming over. Might be just enough of a gap to get the runs in. Tomorrows weather is looking a bit dodgy, the boys & girls will need to be a bit conservative...........

great night last night.

Highlights for me were the looose yellow Mercedes, VL Group A, NSX, KE70, blue 240z and the green 2002 BMW.

I didn't get bored of the Lambos throwing flames either. Or that Capri.

The event itself ended up being quite depressing... Google Targa Adelaide...

I made a video at Prologue though which is a bit of fun..!
