Well we are back in sydney,
and i can only think of 2 good things that came out the rally, we started and finished, everything else in between turned to poo.
first 2 stages of the day the car developed some brake problems with the pedal going to the floor on a couple of occasions, and I couldn't generate enough heat in the brakes to give me any confidence but we get through.
stage 3 first of the long stages, about 20k's into and we hit a rock or something hard at about 100KM/h, i didn't see it so i don't know, But it cracked a rim and pushed it out enough so it was fouling on the suspension, But it didn't go flat.
We tried to drive on, but couldn't, so we pull over and change the tire, put on the spare which didn't have a lot of tread left, and continued on, We start driving only to hear a loud grinding noise, so again we pull over i climb under the car only to find a 60mm tree branch wedged between the exhaust and the car, rubbing along the ground as we were driving 
By this time we have already lost 20 min.
So we put out of the stage, and go to start stage 4.
Its not feeling too good with the car very unstable at 60k's so we back it off and crawl out of the stage to the next service.
Couldn't see any thing obvious, and with us nearly out of late time my girlfriend orders me back in the car, and we putt around the last couple of stages trying not to do any damage, and this point it also starts bucketing down with rain, So we finish the rally at a very slow speed, just because we could.
I still haven't had a chance to have a good look, but i suspect we also damaged the suspension on stage 3 with the rim grinding against it.
So there is a little bit of work to do before the next one.
As they say that's Motorsport.
Ben.
