AROCA Winton 6-Hour Relay 2011
Over the weekend we competed in the 2011 AROCA 6-Hour regularity relay. This is the biggest event on our club calendar – and a pretty significant event in club motorsport full stop. My team ‘The Sicilian Suds’ consisted of two Alfa Sprints, one Alfa 90, and our Alfasud Ti. We’ve all done this event multiple times (this is my fifth time) and finished comfortably in the top half of the field, but were looking...

Shitbox Rally 2012 – Introducing Mario II
Early next year my friend Sheldon and I are going to participate in the ‘Shitbox Rally’, a charity car bash from Melbourne to Cairns through outback Australia. We’re allowed to spend $1000 to prepare a car to make the seven-day 4000km journey including some seriously rugged terrain, sand dunes, long days of rough dirt tracks, and four states of this big empty country. Why? Well partly because we’re friends,...
