Tassie Trip – Day 3


On day 3 we headed to the small town of Sheffield to watch some Targa action. Christina spotted this cute alpaca on the side of the road and had to have a cuddle!


New Polo GTI – it turns out that Lilydale was a lunch stop for all competitors so we spent the day there just checking out all the cars in the competition. Hearing and seeing these cars up close was an awesome experience.


Race spec Porsche roadster.


How nice are these wheels?! I’ve love some for my Golf.


APR Golf R sporting some crazy retro graphics. Dean (driver) was nice enough to take a time out and chat to the boys.


All caged up inside.


New RAYS VR.G2 wheels on this Audi TT. So much quality JDM performance gear everywhere, even on the European cars.


Rotary powered NB. Had to be heard.


Just Jap 400R.


Donut King R35.


Pressure was on these guys to win once again. Hearing this car launch off the next leg of the race sent a shiver down my spine.


Glenny’s factory backed RX8.


We followed some cars after lunch to the start of their next leg. This STI had to be pushed to start.


Tasmania’s a pretty place. All you have to do is look up and away to see spectacular views like this.


Not wanting to miss out on all the action Captain Nath took us to some more twisties.


Locals shot this sign up!


Again, beautiful views.


Mr. Wombat. On the way back to the hotels we spotted a huge Tasmanian Devil statue on the side of the road. We thought we’d check it out.


Pretty side on.


Hillarious front on! – There were heaps of Kangaroos. All very friendly.


Spotted Quoll.


The keeper brought out little Maggie, a baby wombat and Christina fell in love.


So did Cam – for the next few days, many more Cam and Maggie jokes ensued.


Random shot of Chris’s sexy headlights.


Chris and Cam – later that night we headed to Hallams for quality Tasmanian Seafood.


Jason and Nath.


Suga and I. Every night was similar – great company, great wine and food, random Porsche guys (most of the time wearing their cashmere jumpers around their shoulders for that Porsche look) and much belly laughter!


Mornay FTW.


Again, so full, bursting at the seams!
