Thanks Evan for the pictures.

To say that I am jealous of not making the trip despite booking initially would be an understatement.

Sitting at home pulling tailshaft out.

Keep the updates coming.

Hi Evan

Glad you had a great time down here, there are some top roads about! I quite enjoyed reading your blog too.

Just a shame I couldn't find any route info to check out the cars & meet a few alfisti  :'(

Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Scott.

Loved it Evan, thanks.

Would love to have done this trip in the driver's seat as i have been on many of these roads in the backseat (probably in a Renault 16 if i remember correctly).

Brings back a lot of memories so thanks for the daily reports and blog.

If I had more time I would have introduced myself as a fellow Alfa owner, but as it was you were all keen to get on the open road!! Yes, I was the guy with the mic and camera.

Fabulous blog Evan as always !
Just wonderful to have you and Fiona and Jack along on Turismo Tasmania 2012.

Here's a few more links to some of the Media Coverage received for the tour for Forum members to enjoy.
Once all participants are home from their various extended tours of the state (which has and will be delivering endless sunny days last week and next) we'll gather together each participant's 2 best photos and burn them to disk along with the professional photos taken and send them to every participant !
