We made it! Bit of a crawl into Hobart, but a good run through about 20 green traffic lights in succession - somebody wants us to finish this thing.
We jump the queue so as to follow David Ogg and Michael Farrell's Alfa Giulia up onto the top of a small multi-storey car park where the official finish was sited, tv, commentators, podium, we get to drive through an arch and a pretty model looking a bit chilly in the cooler weather hangs a finishers medal round our necks. We are elated just to finish. Park the car on thhe lower level, and back on top to get a beer and cheer our buddies as they come through.
We are 58th in Late Classic Handicap, and 73rd in Classic Outright. We have achieved both our goal of finishing and our ambition to get a Targa Trophy. Into the bar for a beer, having been breathalysed every morning we've not had more than 2 beers any day, we might have a few more tonight ...
We might have got to the finish, but I'll have some more bits to go up later on the blog, just might be a couple of days until I get wifi again.
