yeah silly seat was... yep u guessed it.. SILLY!!! na was actually pretty cool, i started my day (Saturday) in perth got in the elfin, did cethana, blah blah.. loads of fun etc, etc...
Sunday!! righto early start in burnie, found my place in the even sillier silly seat (backseat) controling radios for the tour leader, kept me busy, but the main thing is the experience... hurtling around the west coast in a brand spanker mitsubishi 380gt at pace.. the memory is burnt in my mind forever....
sadly the elfin didnt make it through tarraleah (computer troubles) anyway went through the finish line, had dinner... at the "cheap" dinner on the sunday night...
MONDAY!!! scored me a ticket to the trophy presentation dinner ($145), was so awesome, ticket said black tie with dinner jacket.... i missed the dinner jacket bit... so they wouldnt let me in until i had one so they took me around to the laundry, and got me a jacket which i promptly took off once i gained entry :P had a ball of a night, met some amazing people, one esepcially :D
this is my third involvement targa,
first year - i washed cars and stood at the casino holding a flag...
2nd year - i was navigating again in the elfin
3rd year - navigating, as above
future - who knows, anyone that needs some service crew i'd be happy to help,
so yeah that my targa story... sorry to hear about your pano nick... friggen bambi's ;)
