    checked the road book for this event in the last two weeks - the stages are really terrific and a lot different to South Island - lot twistier - it will be a very hard event on drivers being able to keep up their pace - first time over the Motu stage for about 5 years and it is as difficult as I remember

    I would like to be, but at this moment i can't afford it.

    But i do know that Roger Goss is still looking for a co-driver for the Silver Fern.
