audi sighting (rally of the tall pines) (long)

[Pedro Faria]

The audi sporting the christmas colors as you say

belongs to a gentleman named Gerry Brinkman
His co-driver is Mike (i forget last name)

the car is a basic 5k turbo swap, serviced by my mechanic
Constantine from Quattromotion

And Constatntine was also codriving for Scott Garner
in the G60 gulf (JD's car)

I was at the ss1, ss3 and ss6 or 5 dont remember
whichever one was close to service

I was driving a Thunderbird and was going along with
Tibor and another gentleman with the tricked out MINI

it was great fun day.

Carlos, I saw your car at the hotel/motel, but i didnt see you race
what happened? and i didnt see your car the whole event?

And i didnt see your car Luke, had i known you were going i would have
looked for you

Thanks
Pedro
