Trips past and present - A bit of nostalgia

Post by mike »

Well since I put that random image from a gallery up ive been suckered into looking through albums!!

I've come across a few trips that I was on and thought were bloody good. Here is one that I wasn't driving but was camera man on.

Ha - I was on that trip (no photos of my truck in that album tho) didn't know you were there Mike.
Sold my 1985, BJ74 MWB Landcruiser, rear locker, 33" MTs, snorkel, PTO winch, solid bars all round, spotties, AM CB etc.
Now just a 1994, 1kz Surf, pretty standard.

You might have been there, I prob wouldn't have picked you out back then. But If you are thinking of Matt4U's surf - he wasn't on the trip.

That was new years eve, Adam was so pissed Tim had to punch him to settle him down. I fell out of my chair laughing so hard. He spewed all through his tent if I remember correctly.
