Day 1 over and done with, much happier now :)

Well that's the end of day 1. We started in Tigre and have ended in a city called Rosario about 320 km. The start was fun with the first car Author and Anna in a 1927 Oldsmobile.




We are staying in the Pullman Hotel and Casino just outside the city. I can see Rosario from our window and that's close enough. 
The driving today was pretty easy and a bit boring, being on long flat highways, however there was a terrific cross wind which caused some major bad hair days :) Personally I couldn't see what all the fuss was about :)



Julie got so bored that she did a bit of reading. I nearly went of the road when I looked across and saw she was reading (no not 50 shades of rallying) but ' the beginners guide to rallying! I thought she had done this before and knew how it all worked. ( the rallying not the 50 Shades bit)
At the end of the day we were let loose on a full blown racing circuit. We had to set the fastest time we could. It will be interesting to see the results, some of the Fangio Chevrolets are incredibly fast. Think we have done ok, but all the time there is this little voice saying ' it's only the first day, look after Molly and her tyres'.
Results should be released later today.
Tomorrow is pretty much the same, with a circuit at the end. The next day the fun begins as we head up into ' them there hills'
We are both well, really enjoying it and pleased the first day is over.
Bring it on :)
