Name: Terry (Taxi) O'Donnell

Age: 41
Location: Brisbane, Australia.
Occupation:Heavy Vehicle Mechanic for a Government department (not allowed to say which one!)
Marital/Life status: Married, to my supportive, understanding, beautiful wife, Pam.

Time involved with rallying:Since some time in the early-mid 80's.

How did you get involved with motorsport: I never missed an issue of Chequered Flag as a kid, and it was Rallying and Off Road taht really caught my eye.

How did you get involved with rallying: I stuck my hand up and helped other people work on their cars at Rallyequip when I was (a lot) younger - when Frank Kilfoyle owned it. I have done lots of road closures and over the last few years, done a few start controls at various ARCs.

Time competing in rallying: First got into it seriously in about '03 navigating in a class 5 Gemini at the Goondiwindi AORC event. Navigated in a couple of VCRS events last year whilst studying in Victoria. I also ran my Kombi Van in KCs for a year down there!
YouTube - Kombi racing (legally) 3

What am I doing on the Excel Series forum?
I was referred here by Skypilot after I replied too late to his request for a navigator.
I've taken an interest in the series since it's inception, always thinking it's been a good idea. After watching the Kaitler X3 doing so well in KCs, I was convinced. Although I was a little saddened at the time to hear that QLD would not be running a series. Fortunately, that has changed and I'm looking for someone who needs a keen and moderately experienced navigator for the QLD series (Don't forget that I'm also a mechanic!).

Cheers,
Terry O'Donnell.

How does the Kombi go on the jumps in Portugal

Hi, I,m new here too. I'm looking at building a car for this, not sure about it yet. If I did I'd look at starting off on the second round this year. I have a tarmac car, but it's expensive and if you you only have to go to Vic for a run it's a bonus. So I thought a cheaper local series to get some seat time might be a good idea.

I think I'm right for a navigator, but she hasn't agreed to the dirt yet so I'll let you know if anything comes of it.

Anyway, my trailer does not transport Budgie Yellow coloured cars! The colour would clash with the shiny guards and that's simply not on.
