i liked atmosphire when i was down there in the hill's south of Huonville to watch it Dazz. but i enjoyed the Tall Ship's Sydney to Hobart waiting at Hobart End, i enjoyed that more was in Hobart for a few weeks 1988?
i thought the Targa Tasmania has been going longer than 15 years Dazz?

I've got all the Video's & DVDs.. first one was 1992 (I did say over 15 years... )

Hi L-D..

I'm probably more excited about the current model GTR/s in it 

[Lakes]

I think it's more excitment to compeat in than to watch, as hard to watch a race like that unless your watching on TV.
what have the temps been like lately Dazz? that would effect road temps and how well tyres grip.
Also Dazz go stand with your face in the corner for half hour , and say, I'm excited there is a i30 CRDi in it!!

It's cooled down heaps in last month or so (average overnight temp between 2 and 5 Celsius - minuses in some parts) and between 11 and 15 during the day.. Brrrrr 

Don't think there is an i30 in it (not listed) - will get a program today if I can find one...

We are going to get up real early 2moro (my day off) and go and watch at least one stage and possibly go to the "expo" in Launceston (weather permitting) -so will have some good photos to post

Here is a link to a bit about the Tiburon in the 2007 Targa.. can't remember if there were any Hyundai's in the Targa Tas last year...

Here are some photos I took today.. Will post more in Random Pix Section..(including some action shots I have taken at previous Targas)

Was raining this morning when we were due to set off to watch some of the action so only went to the street expo in Launceston earlier this evening...

Nice mix of vehicles this year 

Wooo!

Love that old XU1

In case anyone is interested a new Nissan GTR driven by Tony Quinn won the Targa..

As I've mentioned before we have a nissan in the family (must be about my eighth) so I was pleased to see the win although would rather the leading Lamborghini had not crashed out
