Stuff! Looks like compression lockup? Poor guys. Would love to see pics of car afterward.

Today was much better. Not hindered so much by our seemingly low power as the stages were wet and rather twisty.

Also looks like we have found the culprit of our woes.... A pinched fuel line. Would explain a lot of the symptoms but cant really test it on the road so we will see what it is like on stage tomorrow.

We do as many k's tomorrow as we did in the first two days combined.

Depending on the derived time we get we should be comfortably in the top 20 and with a healthy car and so mich more to go who knows what will happen.

^^^ Top work Brendon. Challenging conditions. Looks like you are doing a great job. Still so much more to come and no doubt further attrition.

Seems like you are doing a goof job of hustling Graeme along Shane.

Shame Dean is out. Would have thought he woudl have revelled in the conditions.

Good to see most of the WA contimgent still punching on. Enjoy the run west.

I love it. Thanks for the updates Brendon and Shane. I keep an eye on the times all day to see how/who is going.

Gotta see it one day :-)

Well worth the trip as a spectator. Gotta plan well though as many stages use the main roads so can restrict where you go and how much you see.

Stewy Liddles times are going well. Few stages of quicker than Scary's driver. The lambo is rediculous though. In the bag unless he bins it.
