Re: Thailand & Malaysia Trip
So after we got sick of all the cheap beer and very generous invitations to go see the ping pong shows we jumped into the sardine tin and flew over to Malaysia
Checked out some modified cars
Went to the Hard Rock Cafe in Melaka
Went to see the Petronas Towers
Was seriously disappointed when I went inside...
Put a light bar on the team truck that I was crewing for

Re: Thailand & Malaysia Trip
Unfortunately did get much footage due to no battery power but have some footage of our night time escape out from the jungle to head to the next bit
Had to do a couple log bridge crossings and a very steep downhill track that resemled "The Canyon" at woodhill
And yes we took the road truck on these tracks as we had planned to go get the trailer after

Re: Thailand & Malaysia Trip
Setting up the final stages, unfortunately I missed the Twilight Zone as they had left early and i thought we were following them in later, only to find out that we weren't it was around a 20km walk with a hope of catching up with them. I managed to get footage of 2 out of 3 final stages near the camp though
