Back from our run in Tassie. The Delages that Nigel mentioned were pretty obvious in the queue for the boat as we came back on the 21st.
Spent all of the time in the North East. Great roads down there, especially enjoyed the Scottsdale > St Helens run. Its about 100kms of undulating winding road that includes 3 stages of Targa Tasmania. Link here if Targa means nothing to you https://targa.com.au/tc/
We stayed in a house on the coast only about 50 metres from the sea and lots of salt spray. You could almost hear the Jag rusting :-) Must get out and give it a good wash and hose off.
PS: Elinor's prediction that I was tempting the gods talking about good luck with the car came true. On departure I only got 10klms before the fan belt broke. Just what you want with a fixed time window to load onto a car ferry :-)

Any attempt at provoking "luck" will be interfered with by Mr Murphy. One of life's little certainties unless you're related to a benevolent Leprechaun.
I bet you now have a spare in the boot (fan belt that is, not the Leprechaun)
Looks like you had some good weather at least!

I think only only need 2 (3 belts, 2 the same size)
I will have to stop being slack (pun unintended) and take belts off to check them. The one that failed looked OK in a before leaving checkover the week before.
Yes we scored some nice weather, its a nice time of year down there.

I should have done them I got the car. Did fluids and filters routine , should have ditched the belts just due to unknown age if nothing else. Still learning :-)
