That is crazy stuff. Looks even more insane from driver's view. Filmed on Dallara GP2 car, 612hp / 688 kg with driver.

Reversed battery polarity

Finally a chance to use the most common Star Trek phrase about switching the polarity :D I was overseas for a month and forgot to disconnect Safari battery cables (24 volts, twin battery system) before leaving. When I got back and tried to start the car it was completely dead, no interior light, clo...

Re: Anybody been up Te Aroha side of Thompsons track lately?

I'm going with him on my Safari with decent mud tyres and recovery gear so I'm fine, just a bit worried how his Pathfinder will handle few big rocks along the track.

pmfg; yep, it's this sunday. I'll drop you a PM closer to the end of the week.

Re: Woodhill 4WD Park open again 6-7 April 2013

We are planning to go there for the first time this Saturday or Sunday.
Are track difficulty levels marked somehow? I would rather keep out of extreme stuff for now as we are going alone.

Re: 20 th-21st

Decided to do a quick oil change for Safari. Took only 3 hours :evil:

Old filters must have been screwed in by a bloody gorilla and filter wrench just crushed them. Had to do old "screwdriver through filter" trick to both filters to get them out with spilling old oil everywhere.

Re: April 13th-14th

Got winch sorted out on Friday so decided to have a look at Te Aroha side of Thompsons track. Easy as but about 1km before the summit we hit a traffic jam (photo below) I added some subtle photoshopping to hide identities of persons involved. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8249/8645087644_50a22e6d8a_...

Re: 6th- 7th april

Kids were having a birthday party so a perfect excuse to evade into shed for a day. I recently bought a Safari with dodgy WARN winch. It's one of those older models with 4 solenoids out of which 3 were busted. Free spool clutch was also stuck. Pulled winch apart and reassembled it with fresh grease....

Newbie near Hamilton

Hi all I might have met some of you at National Park event run in March this year. That was my first try on off-roading ever and it turned out to be lots of fun for whole family. Things escalated quickly after that. All of the sudden I felt that we really, really need second (3rd) car and ended up b...
