It's taken about 8 years, 10 engine rebuilds, 5 gearbox rebuilds, 3 diffs and 5000 cans of degreaser but we finally got the 105 up on the podium at this year's Targa High Country! 3rd in early classic

It was a great event, weather was all over the place with it snowing on us on Saturday afternoon during service and the cars getting total iced up on Sunday morning.

It's a massive weekend of driving the shot of the tyre is what we ended up with at the top of Buller, it was brand new the day before!

01' Nissan Pathfinder (Tow car/Alfa support vehicle)

Colin, Super congrats on the reliability and the podium. Your persistence has finally paid off. After your recent troubles it was so good to hear that you have shaken off the gremlins.
