What started out as a joke has turned into a tradition. Have found packed spectator areas soon make room once the great scent of pickled onions wafts through the air, no worries securing a spot once the jar is opened up.
Probably an odd 'habit' but the F.F.A.R.T (Foul Fumed Admirers Rally Tour) team is out on the stages every year!"It's the most fun you can have with your pants on" - Possum Bourne

I'm heading to NZ in a couple of weeks for a tour of south island with my wife and the boys before I head up to Auckland to join the Rallytours official tour. I've taken the cheapskate option, staying in the All Seasons.

The most entertaining and ecclectic group of fans I came across in NZ in 2007 were a bunch of 15 backpackers from all over the world who had crammed into one van. None of them had met before that morning in a hostel but most of them with out transport to on to the stages. Until a Czech tourist said he was going. They all shared in waving the Czech flag despite coming from all over the place, especially a tiny Japanese man. Few of them could speak each other's language but it was brilliant to see them all come together for the rally. Plus the spectator marshals at the Waitomo stage we were on were American ski instructors who had never seen a rally who joined in on the multi-cultural fun.Happiness is using the side windows more than the windscreen

Has anyone else noticed that the Super Special Stage and Shakedown venue in the Auckland Domain finishes in Lovers Lane!
That could mean we might have some extra special intimate moments between some driver / co-driver pairings at the Stop line.Happiness is using the side windows more than the windscreen

Blame the natives for their way of speaking haha.
The infamous (and possibly deadly) pickled onions complete with the 'warning corrosive material' sticker....

I am from Gran Canaria. I am absolutely convinced that there will be no problem with the rally.
