Finally some time to post...having spent last night and today in bed fighting a horrible cold/flu!
Bruce and I had a great time, but the TSW curse struck on the morning of Day 2 when we discovered that the header tank on the radiator had split, so we parked the car.
Saturday was fantastic...the highlight was definitely Gloucester East and West....basically 15+ km pretty well flat out...glanced briefly at the speedo a couple of times to see it wound off the dial (jap spec 180 speedo) sitting on the pin to stop the needle starting at zero again. Hitting the big dip at top speed was interesting too...but the car stayed really stable.
The Manji town stage was a blast except for the final run where we couldn't see a thing into the sun. Kurandra was difficult heading directly into the sun then into the shade.... basically the whole stage pretty well runs west into the setting sun.
Overall the car was brilliant...the rear suspension changes we made worked well...it was just a pity about the radiator.
Big thanks to my navigator Bruce and service crew Chrispy and Neil Evans....and of course to the organisers and all the volunteers without whose help such events couldn't run.
