Reinaldo Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Hello, Yesterday we finished our participation in the " II Rallye Internacional Mil Milhas Históricas Brasileiras" Inspection of the car was done by Wednesday afternoon and Rallye was held from Jone 21 to June 24. Around 65 cars has done the application and 51 has been approved. Among them 2 Triumphs: the TR4 1962 with ROGERIO FRANZ/MARIO NARDI (last year champions) and our TR3A 1959. Even with speedometer and gearbox problems, Rogerio and Mario, managed to finish in third place overall. Prizes has been given to the 3 best positions in each category: Category C (Vintage) - from 1919 to 1930 Category D (Pos-Vintage) - from 1931 to 1945 Category E (Post-War) - from 1946 to 1960 Category F (Historic) - from 1961 to 1970 Category G (Classic) - from 1971 to 1980 In the F category the TR4 team got the third place. In the E category our TR3A got the third place (with a bit of lucky since we got a high score of lost points). And everything went well with the car except one lost headlamp RIM and a perplex window broken.

Richardtr3a Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 This sounds like a serious bit of driving. Well done. I could not open the pictures. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dykins Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Well done to Rogerio/Mario and Reinaldo/Maria. A sort of Brazilian Mille Miglia? I coudn't open the photos either. Regards Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reinaldo Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Stuart, Richard and Peter, Thanks for the messages. Let me try the link for the pics again (sorry!): https://picasaweb.google.com/111506627745485743830/MilMilhas?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCMTU2q6ZiJjLEQ&feat=directlink It should work now. Peter, Yes, you can say it is the Brazilian version of the Mille Miglia ( FIVA licence number B038/2012). This is the second year and it is indicated in the FIVA list of events but it is not yet part of the world championship since a minimum of 3 years in a row is required to be part of the championship. Regards, Reinaldo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james christie Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Now that looks fun - some how the rain in Brazil seems a little bit more exotic than nere in France ! james Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reinaldo Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 James, It is not typical to get rain during our winter. Especially that sort of heavy rain. During the 1st and 2nd day we said it was "very British" to have 4 cars in a row in a rainy road (it was a yellow E type Jaguar, the Austin Westminster, the Healey and mine) ! Menno, Scenery was especially beautiful because of the soft green color developed by the unusual rain. Prior to the trip I have changed the 10 tenaxes (both male and female) in the soft top over the windscreen. Very good investment: no water inside the car ! Majority of the other convertibles got in big trouble trying to deal with the water leaking. Andrew, Regarding adventure, my biggest surprise was my wife that was able to hang on despite the hundreds of curves in a far from confortable car ! I would love to cross the ocean and be present in an event in UK. Let me dream about it and - who knows - may be one day get a sponsor to bear the costs....... Laurence Good choice for vacations, Goiania is very beautiful despite the fact that it is not a major target for tourists. Thanks for the answers ! Reinaldo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
