Great find Lorian  :mrgreen: Would be interesting to know what mods they have been able to make (chipping etc..) to make it competetive with more powerful cars..

I have a sneaking suspicion I saw this outside Neal Bates workshop in Hume, ACT, when I was driving my Bus back to the depot one night last week.

Should have stopped to ask questions.

I heard that it was a petrol auto, converted to a diesel manual.

Seeing as it's fully Hyundai sponsored I'd like to know why they couldn't spare a manual diesel straight up...........

Yeah, I heard that too and thought it was a bit weird... :cool:

EDIT: I just tried to find contact info for Mick Gillett (and his Navigator) would have been good to get them on board as at least temporary members.. no luck yet will keep trying

One of the more unfortunate things about the recent forum hardware failure and subsequent restore is that the posts from Mick Gillet in this thread have gone. I presume his account will have also have disappeared. He might think we don't like him!

Might be an idea for someone to drop him a note and invite him back again!

Good point Lorian.. might be a bit tricky to drop him a line though as can't send him a PM and don't know his email.. :cool:

I'll try to track him down via google or facebook if I get a chance..

Thanks guys

You have to be pretty thick skinned in the rally world so I took the membership exclusion with a grain of salt and thought  it was a tech issue. :)

The Web page is in its infancy and is not being hosted by Hyundai ATM but by our Media Manager.  I thought the coverage was pretty good, just need some more speed out of the i30 to make it exciting to watch.

This is probably not the right place for this but the team rally jackets are available for purchase.  Having looked at what merchandise you guys have been talking about I don't believe the Jackets will conflict with what you have on offer.  Would anyone be interested?

The i30 is off to Wagga this week for a trade night at Wagga Motors Hyundai, so its time to polish the tail pipe and vac the carpet.

Mick

Post by: Dazzler on August 23, 2010, 00:32:12
What sort of $$ do they want for the Jackets Mick? ...and do you buy them through your website?

So you not only drive the i30 but are expected to keep it clean as well  :eek:

Plenty of spectators at that big central viewing area at Imbil.
I've got a heap of pics and footage from there last year.
It's a good spot but I prefer when you used to be able to sneak in and find your own spot. :cool:
