Targa tassie

Gee i enjoyed the show on sunday arvo, did any one else here watch it ? Some great cars, on some fantastic roads and I for one was very jealous, this must be a fantastic event to take part in. I was wondering if they had considered opening it up for classic motorcycles as well ?
Anyone know ?

Jonesy, wasn't it a great show!

I really liked the classics and the muscle cars. Particularly watching Mustangs all crossed up and right amongst it!

And Gentleman Jim. What a class act.

Saw it as well, fantastic, made me decide i HAVE to compete in it one day.

Was it me or did anyone else notice a Group B Nissan 240RS in any of the shots during the rally, just wondering how this car would have been eligible.

Misery is getting half way thru (around where Brocky was dropping an advert for his Commodore) and then! Nothing! I had asked my 12 year old to tape 3 hours of 10 while I was up at Wakefield - well I got 2! (mustn't grumble)

Does anyone know how officials are accommodated in Tassie - all up to yourselves? or is there some sort of billeting scheme?

Just watched this last night catching up on my tapes - pity I would have liked to have seen more coverage on the Clubman cars...for some reason have become absolutely fascinated by these things.

I watched it too and really enjoyed it. I was glad to see a lot of different cars and people getting airtime. Targa is about so much more than just the top 3 or 5 cars. I also really liked the way they profiled each category and told the story of the event for each category. I also noticed the Nissan 240RS, I don't believe there is a strict eligibility criteria, you have to be invited,

A friend of mine does it every year in an XU-1 Torana. He said if you budget 15 grand for the event you should come home with a little bit of change. I'd really love to have a go myself, but that is way too much money for me, the logistics would also be a huge challenge.
