Ok guys I am defenitly coming on next years trip :twisted: the footage so far looks awsome :twisted: and I will admit that a Nissan with and aussie driver let the team down (nissan team) but I am sure that on any given day a toyota can do the same :roll: so bring on next year as I am sure there will be more nissans on the trip :wink:

On a serious note now ,I have just made up 2 dvds of Al's trip and will be posting copies to Mike and Smokey.
If any one wants copies in the Christchurch area contact them.

Otherwise if you want me to send the 2 discs it will cost you 10 dollars to cover postage and discs and you need to PM me and I will give my bank details for payment.

Grey wasn't that high, river bed had changed a little in my opinion. Rick's petrol didn't like it and died in the second channel, but we didn't take long to get it going again.

The Grey wasn't that deep, running a bit over 1700mm on waipuna guage. You can cross at 2200mm
