come on gary show the rest of the footage didnt see you most of today. what where your thoughts of the the day

[coxsy]

and you didn't roll it well done

[basics]

bet you had a brown seat at the end of that slide

[niblik]

thank goodness for the well worn muddy grooves = slip slidin away... heh heh.. classic..

[gary_in_nz]

yeah mate, bit of a scare, just lucky it was slippery and the main interior colour of the safari is brown! i do have some more footage but gotta do some editing maybe tomorrow will get some up

Good day out, good to see some new/other guys out, as this was a public fund raising run. you wouldnt have seen to much as i was the tail end charlie for most of it.

You were so lucky not to have rolled!
As soon as you lost traction you should have put it in reverse and used the engine as a brake and if needed drive it down too with the foot off the brake.

[gary_in_nz]

yeah, tried, but stalled it once it got to the top and by the time i got it into reverse i was at the bottom

[Sadam_Husain]

reverse or no reverse once that front end washed out at the top there was only one way you were coming back down
