Some pics from last Saturday's event:

I cannot think of a more fun car to participate in a 250 km classic car rally/navigation/regularity event! This was the first full length rally for my navigator and me and our goal was to end up in the top half of the rankings. However, the rally had some nasty navigation challenges and the other participants were very competitive so we barely met our objective with a 18th place out of 36 competitors in our class. But most important is that we learned a lot and above all, had fun. The car definitely needs some new shocks, one is stuck and the other three are absolutely gone. The stock brakes were sufficient for this type of event but I found that the engine did not pick up quick enough for instance when make a quick turn around on the road. That's something to investigate. The lights were absolutely insufficient during the night, I hope I can improve the head lights without the need to add additional lights. |

I love this car! |
