cheers guys. Gary, we started out pretty conservatively as I have had very little experience on gravel and had finishing in mind! By stage three we started to pick it up a bit and Sarah was starting to get a bit nervous. No real moments until the last stage- had a couple of tankslappers- the sunny really needs quicker steering, and after that we decided to back off a bit and just take it to the finish. We found a few things that the car needs doing to it to make it a bit better, and when I get a bit more experience up and learn to keep the boot in a bit more, we should go alright. hopefully! the roads were quite rough in places and a lot of cars didn't finish, which no doubt helped us achieve the results we got. The best part for me was the finish straight on the last stage, we were flat out in 5th, I think we saw 165kph on the terratrip which feels pretty quick on a gravel road! With the 4.9 diff the speedo in the dash is way out, but it was funny to see it pointing down to the 'k' in km/h!!!
