The Highway Patrol really know their stuff. I usually get pulled by Bruce and he gives me Compliance tickets which motivates me to sort sh*t out.

This fellow however gave me the greatest motivation of all!!! Cert time :)

Lots and lots of BMW’s at Targa, in the main event and in the awesome Tour that I was driving in.

We were at the pointy end of the pack and were keeping company and keeping honest a E39 M5, E91 M3 a E60 M5 and to my surprise a 3.0L Z4 that was on pace with all the M cars, I wouldn’t underestimate a Z4 again, the ZM M must fly on NZ roads but maybe not, I think the M cars are a bit stiff and low on the kiwi roads.

Amongst all the BMW’s following us we were chasing down a 2010 Porsche Cayman S converted/upgraded to RS spec, the thing was rapid as f**k, the owner was a good sort and upgrading it to 400bhp.

Didn’t take a camera here a few random’s form my phone.

It’s a sexy car, so so small, I couldn’t figure out how to get in it, would have taken me all wek, he came in third in class, it’s a long week and sh*t happens, he knocked the back in a bit on the first day, because its valued at $300,000 so im not sure that he is perhaps pushing as hard as it could go, could be wrong though.

The GTR’s are mammoth, I followed one through one stage and had to back off simply because I couldn’t see around it, bloody fast on the wide stuff.

Whagamomona was my highlight stage, 35km of twisty roads, manages to rip the rubber clean off one of my R888’s and was on a second set of tyres on the third day, and that’s just the tour, the week is absolute hell on cars, my windscreen would have near 1000 chips as does my bonnet and bumpers, my mags are now silver and black and the interior has developed multiple rattles.

After near 3000km in one week it hadn’t used a single drop of oil though and mechanically it didn’t miss a beat, it did drink 400L of 98 though.

Im thinking a roll cage and race seats are the best way to fix the rattles. Watch this space. Sponsors welcome.
