Much like the TT its an event i'd like to get to at some point.

Eric Bana's documentary on running in it called "Love the beast" is worth a watch if anyone's not seen it.

Got the boat over, stopped at Cradle Mountain for a couple of nights then due west and down to Queenstown, east and down to New Norfolk and back to civilisation of Hobart. Just had 4 new PS4s fitted too - amazing drive 8-)
I'm envious, I've had a couple of planned trips to Tassie thwarted although the co-driver will undoubtedly be extremely proscriptive about driving enthusiastically...

Closer to home (assuming you're still in Melbourne?) is the Mt Buller sprint coming in February. I went a decade(s wtf) ago and had fun.

Love the beast great film, must rewatch.

I had a proper lol moment watching that. One of the defining qualities of the area I live in (Forest Gate) is that it's full of kids ragging around in BMW Ms and Merc AMGs with pop bang remaps, it's like a competition to see who can have the flashest, newest car and also make the most noise and hit 60mph in a 20mph limit, anytime day and night. And the BMW in Mat's video? When it was cloned, it was MOT'd in Forest Gate, and then the 'cousin' of the new owner drove it like it was stolen :lol: totally fits the profile of M car driver around here :lol:

Brilliant, even if it is in foreign.

I remember loving those F2 cars as a youth, its definitely a major contributory factor as to why my car is the way it is 8-)

Delecours and Panizzi aggressively attacking European tarmac stages in Esso Ultron 306s is a core memory 8-) Still remember that video Chris Harris did with Delecours, he's definitely got a screw loose :lol:

There's an article on the BBC about car cloning too.

Although buying a car that's 4-5k under book for cash should surely ring some bells regardless!
