We are now back home in New Zealand and our success from last weekend has well and truly sunk in. Work has continued on our 2012 plans and our plans for the rest of this season.

The thousands of messages of support have been overwhelming and humbling. It is amazing how much support that we have behind us and it certainly makes a huge difference.

For those of you in the Auckland area, we are having a casual open meeting this Wednesday, 21st September at 7pm. The location is The Parnell Trust, Hobson Room, 545 Parnell Road. Here I will be talking about our season to date, our future plans, HPRG the company that funds my career and how anyone can become involved as a shareholder. Anyone is welcome along and it would be great to see you there.

The upcoming week promises to be busy before I head back to Europe. We have two remaining events that we are contracted to do in Spain and GB but we are now also going to France to help Ken Block doing his gravel notes. Before I leave New Zealand however I will be competing at the Ashley Forest Rallysprint this weekend in a car with a difference. A huge thanks to Steve Murphy who is allowing me to drive his 750bhp hill climb special car which I am really looking forward too.

Rally Australia and the season so far has been a dream come true but I have back down to earth and now focusing 100% on the rest of the season and working on next's years plans. We cannot stand still and have to continue to work hard which at this stage does include looking at options of doing Rally GB in a different sort of car.
