2008 - Monday - Admin day
The trip over in the boat this year was uneventful, as in I didn’t get locked out of my room in my jocks, so things were pretty quiet. The regulars were there and we ate, drunk then discussed Targa 2008 into the wee hours of the night.
The traditional stop at “Strawberry farm” for breakfast on the Saturday didn’t disappoint us, and we then made our way into Launceston to collect our rental car ready to recckie.
A Nissan Tiida, and worst of all automatic, but no hassle, it was economical in place of being fast.
Saturday showed us some rain, and concern again on tyre choice as we contemplated a wet Targa. Fortunately Sunday and Monday have proved to be fantastic, so we think there is no worry of rain in the foreseeable future.
On Sunday we went through the quickest and easiest scrutineering in our history in Targa. With no hassle our car was given the “ready to start” sticker.
Monday has seen us shop in town, then meet our fellow “Dial Before You Dig” team and their cars for a group photo session.
More details on the participants will be forthcoming, but basically we have four cars of Porsche 911 model and classic vintage ranging from a 1973 RSR to our 1985 Carrera.
