Hi Jan, I'm hoping to make this trip. Quick question though, I think it may be exit 38 not 41 as shown. Can you confirm. Cheers Pawl.

Hey Jan - Sorry I didn't catch the names of some places we went to on the last leg of trip ( too busy hanging on ) - can you fill us in ? ( a Google map with path taken would be cool )

( like the Maccas we had dinner at ) Much appreciated ... :D

Thanks Jan,

I thought we'd done a few twists & turns in there ( couldn't keep up with no sun to follow ), was totally lost by the end there ... :rolleyes:

I'd love to try a tarmac rally section around the Hinz Dam someday, as there are some great twisty sections there ... :D ( would need to be on closed road though )

Was a great day :D I think Gibbo would have loved it, especially the mud at the end :)

I do have some footage that I will put together and upload soon :) Not too many photos unfortunately, mostly videos :)

Loved the video. Great Work.
Lousy weather (perfect for subies), excellent trip, awesome company... Dave would have enjoyed himself.

Thank you.
Phillip
