LOL!!

SH1 North over the bridge. Thro' Orewa, Warkworth, Wellsford and then Kaiwaka. About 8 k's after Kaiwaka you come to the turn off left - SH12 signed to Maungaturoto. The Swinging Cow Cafe is on the corner.
7 K's to Maungaturoto - unless you are dropping into my house for a coffee or beer - drive straight thro' and on 8 k's to Paparoa. 50K speed limit thro' the village past 4 sqaure etc. Go past the pub and the camp ground is about 200M further on the left.

Hope that helps!

Cheers and beers,

Muddymatt

BAH, Stupid accelerator pump AGAIN








I spent the whole saturday before the Thames round working on the carb and it ran the best it has ever run, pull it out of the shed tonight to put the new gear box mounts in and the carbs playing up AGAIN *hissy fit*

Super early start for me tomorrow

[muddymatt]

this weather is a deja vu of last sunday, suxz

[BlackCruiser]

Raining here at home, hope it hangs in for tomorrow,

[5imon]

guess we are the first ones home. 3 hours to clean the tow vehicle!! looked like it was gonna be a goodie tho young dan. we must of won cause we ended the day with zero points

[muddymatt]

I took my youngest who was scared of the noise and my eldest who moaned and complained all morning!

We left at lunch but it has comfirmed for me that this is the way back into off roading for me.

Just need to find a suitable vehicle now........

I hope to be at the next round - if not next year..

Was a good trip to try out my new tyres on the discovery tho' and I am well pleased.

Cheers Muddymatt

[lilpigzuk]

Thanks Dan and others that set it up. Went bloody well considering the weather. Speed section was a ripper, lots of slippery hillclimbs and sidlings, good mix Hopefully Db will post up some footage that Rotazuk took on his camera. Not too much carnage, Hard luck too 5imon only doing the one hazard before DNFing. Glen rolled his 110 agaisnt a tree in the arvo smashing the windscreen frame etc, but got it sorted. Bloody good day but yeah Im sure the tow vehicle got muddier that the zuk
And I bet Dan

[Satalite]

Home at last

Up's to the Whangarai guys what a great day!!!!!!!

It stopped drizzeling when Rotazuk showed up, so risked getting the camera out..........

Vids to come


Oh, and we didn't break anything 4 once

Lilpig doing the same (you can't see the hole in the vid, but it was enough to role a Landrover into the tree)

[tpft]

cheers Dan and club, was a really fun weekend, and the layout of the hazzards was kool.
bet that property will host some good events in the future
my eight yr old was busy snapping pics all day, mostly of non moving objects like grass and trees, with no trucks so only a few came out ok.
Were like 300 of the rover laying onto the tree!! mostly from a foot away of the drive train lmao
Santa claus?






plus the paparoa version of KFC, if u ever vist there, don,t make the mistake of asking for tomato sauce, they take it pretty personal

[coxsy]

the rover on its side is know to me ,discussed at club tonight , was awarded two awards for his efforts

[lilpigzuk]

Santa claus?
