Team TwinSpark en route to Winter Trial

At 4 am the alarm awoke me rudely to the first of 8 days of early 911 fun. After a nice wonderful breakfast prepared by Mrs S, I set out to pick up my co-driver Joost in Zeist. Our schedule permitted a quick espresso and we left to meet Fer and Gerard and their red 1973 2.4S Targa at the Dutch German border.

In the meanwhile we are at 1/3 of the 1.000 km track from Amsterdam to Sankt Wolfgang near Salzburg, from where the Winter Trial 2010 departs tomorrow morning. We have dodged two traffic jams already and missed a pile up by 2 minutes, judging by the limited size of the traffic jam…

Our 2.7 RS engine hums away beautifully and Joost and I discussed what a huge job it is to get everything, particularly the car, ready for a rally of this magnitude. Then again, the way our Silverado behaves, drives and sounds, with its new megaphone style exhaust from TwinSpark Racing is just such a hoot. The leather S/T seats are super comfortable yet allow adequate feedback from the road surface. Got to leave it at that, as we approach our first fueling point. Here’s Joost enjoying his stint behind the wheel.

    Dear ralliers,

    Great to be practically able to follow the two of you “en route”. Quite a thirsty guy, that Silverado! Have a safe journey to Salzburg.
