New Zealand Datsun Club

Seems Buist has had revenge on SS23, taken overall lead.

No the official results are through, and Brad has put the 1600 out in front overall. Go the Mighty Datsun.

Quoted for truth!

Have a few pictures of the Dattos and the Fiat 131 before it jumped off the hill
We were driving behind a BDA Escort with straight cut gbox through the city for a little while and it sounded sweet. Its defintely a little faster than a Pulsar turbo ,but gave them a few laughs Sad to see the 131R crash out , they're really great cars and had heaps of rally success back in the day. Hey go the Datto's !

datsuns rule my face so hard!!!!!

Fyckin' wadda ya know, was walking down to the bottle-o on friday arvo and HEAR a swarm of BDA's. Just so happens that the whole rally-full of survivors parked up in the local park/domain and set about tweaking n chaingin setups, was so sick! Stood around at the entry snapping shots and dribbling,weakened knees and all. Finally found where the rest of the Mk1 2drs went! Jizzin over the datsun stables too. That Nick Mason in the red 240z from U.K isnt of Pink floyd fame is he?

What a rally! Well done Brad Goldsbourgh, Full credit to the 1600. Well done Buist and Judd. Tight competition right to the end!

I'm definitely going to make the trip down next time to watch this awesome event. Awesome effort by that Aussie in the 1600. What a weapon. And so many BDAs is one place is not something you see every day.
btw I don't think the Nick Mason in this rally is the drummer of Pink Floyd although he is also known to do a bit of motorracing.

if you do come down Morgan, we'll have to have a BBQ and piss up while you are.
