Some news from up north
we were at poolamacca yesterday, and nundooka today. for those interested, the sth africans in the g-wagen blew their second clutch on sunday night (2 in one day, wonder if thats a record) and are waiting for another one to be sent from adelaide (i think). anthony kilner in the big block gq wagon also did his clutch, and is back in town replacing it. from memory that was the only breakdowns at poolamacca. the spectating there was ordinary, as such there is only 3 pics from there attached. the competitors did a nav run in the morning, then the quick winch stage early afternoon, then another 3 hour nav stage in the evening. they didnt finish that untill about 10pm, then ducked into packsaddle for fuel, then to nundooka for a 2.5hr night stage. most got to bed about 3am.
ian paltridge in the supercharged 6.0 v8 gu patrol (best sounding car ever) hit a rock in the night stage and put a hole in his stump the size of a dinner plate. the truck is being flat towed back to broken hill, and his event is over. the boys in the pgs suzi rejoined the group today, after their rollover in the water at the prologue, they have replaced every relay in the car, and think it's ok. they also destroyed their phones and ipod (although the phone was in the washing machine). krimnl & huddy were quickest on the first morning winch stage, with pete mihalof 2nd. krimnl has blown his turbo, and the car is burning lots of oil (note the white smoke in the pic). car 46 broke a tie rod, think they've replaced it now. pete and jane in car 14 - white gq wagon (looks like the family truck) drove the lower winch wall today, and are the only car to do so as yet.
Thanks to Stu and John for this up date
There is also some photos on arbcapalaba.com.au web site and look for the outback up date

When we completed the arvo nav mud stage at Viewmont in 06 all I wanted was something to wash down the horrible Darling River mud and Pete & Jane came through with a cold can of coke from the fridge in the "family wagon". A can of coke never tasted so good
