There are some pics already up on Targa's FB page (if you're on FB... actually even if you're not I wonder if you can see them?)

Still tootling around at the back, heater motor went big style yesterday, we thought our rally was over as I initially thought we had a flywheel or clutch issue as the vibration in the car was pretty bad, we called the service crew as we were coming in but luckily transit to the next stage was in the same direction as service so when the vibration stopped we elected to continue and noticed that just before the next stage start the windows were fogging up. In car diagnosis at the start line was "Blower gone crack open the windows n roof vent regardless of the rain and push as hard as I dare". 2nd to last stage yesterday we kissed a kerb fairly hard which has knocked the tracking off a fair and the wheel is probably knackered (will check it post rally) but nothing appears to be broken suspension wise and we still continued to post respectable times. Other than that we are having a blast and the car feels great.

argument with the kerb, had a quick look at it when I got home yesterday and it looks fixable. However need to get the front bumper off as it might be hiding a nasty and the car currently has no power so I guess some fuse has blown! Car can fix or be replaced but disappointed for my co-driver
