Targa Tasmania 2022 is underway and one of the fans favourite go to event is seeing the cars lined up in the Silverdome Launceston for Targa Expo. Not everybody manages to get the time to go watch the cars out and about, so this is the next best thing. Car enthusiasts do love a good show and shine, coffee and cars, etc etc and if it’s full of race cars, then even more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>

The big surprise for me, was the traffic jam getting to the Silverdome and then lining up for 45mins just to get in! Hindsight, prepurchasing the tickets would have saved me about 30mins of standing around in the cold. Such is Life. But once inside it was well laid out with a great variety of interesting cars. The usual suspects of course are always present – Porsche, Subaru and Mitsubishi. Who doesn’t love a big winged GT3RS? I know I love them and yet I’ve seen them quite a lot, driven and worked on them. Still props to one amazing machine and I personally love the sound of a screaming flat six hitting 9000RPM! It’s just magic. Pictures never do it justice and if you get a chance, get out and about and watch a race or three.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>

It’s not too often you get to see a car, that you have only seen on posters, and the reality exceeds your own expectations. Like I said, photos really do not do justice to cars. This Mercedes 300SL is one of those cars. Arguably the original supercar. It’s spectacularly beautiful and timeless. Perfect for something as risky and dangerous as Targa Tasmania! I’d hate to see what else the owner has in his stables if this<\/em> is what he chose to drive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>
