		Knowing we would be back to Targa 1999 meant we would have to do alot more preparation on all fronts, whilst it was good to get a "Class Win" trophy the previous year, we had fallen short of our real goal, that of a Targa Trophy.
		All Targa stage times had been achieved at the completion of the penultimate day, and the traditional dinner at "Ayres Manor" was only interupted by "that" phone call...
		After winning Gold in Targa 2001 a year off was called for, and it was only after being asked by David Ayres and David Dungey to "crew" for them in the event that it was agreed we would head back to Tassie.
