Good atmosphere at the opening day. Got a good look at the Prodrive/MI service area. Many spectators so I hope we will continue to see this for the rest of the event.

Photos Plan9?
Great day today, Mini had their cars out and Manfred Stohl had the only Ford out of transport.
Precious moments unloading the three citroens off the truck!
I got some good photos, I think prodrive/mini have the best backdrop!
SlowSon, how do you include photos in your post?
Like everywhere else, with the [IMG] tag. It even has a quick button for it, look at the controls just above the field you type in.
I bet Plan 9 was in love with the Mini area :P I'm just about to leave Sydney, hope Ford can get a win this week
I hate you guys. I knew I should have gone earlier!
Just checked out the sevice park, looking good downt here as they are putting it all together. Very very wind and cold today, so pack some jackets and wet weather gear I think.
Couple photos - Mini area looks good, they're still building the Ford/Citroen area

Any info on the weather during the event ?
Rain.
Rain during the week.
Friday forecast for the Raglan area says fine with light winds. Saturday forecast for the Northland stages say dry & northwesterlies.
Sunday is showers.
So even though is wet and cold now it may turn out nice for the event proper... but who knows in this country.
There's a saying in Auckland, "If you don't like the weather, wait 20 minutes". This part of the world can have 4 seasons in one day.
