Mike Harman's Journal

Well Lil Blue made it back home after the rally and one thousand miles of driving .
When i first thought about the rally the plan was to trailer Lil Blue down to the event after I had driven to our sons place in Rotorua but as always plans can change and mine certainly did. As the car was running so well I decided to drive her the 304 kms to the event the road is good but has alot of hills and is full of twists and turns. it takes 4 and a half hours to drive and that is not mucking around.
We made it safely to New Plymouth and the motel right by the beach.
On Sunday it was up and give the car a wash and wipe down tomake her all spik and span for rally registration in the afternoon, that completed and meeting alot of new people etc we had to hang around for the rally opening and briefing back to the motel to rest ready for the next day and the first drive. We had four tour driving days and one competition day which I will cover day by day.
