In the Super-Non-Jeep I presume? We'll have to be there for that and a chance to get my new G-Wagen covered in mud.

Name the time!

Haha, well, that all depends on how saturday goes :lol:

The most driving its done in god knows how many years has been skids around the car park at the work shop and a sneaky trip from our place into the work shop in the center of town the other weekend when i couldn't find the tow ball for the 80 series :lol:

Chance's are it will be fine, i have been over most things and they look servicable still, but you never know untill you REALLY drive something (brake cyclinders/boosters, radiator hoses etc etc).

Will keep you posted :twisted:

one lost 4wd so we parked it on the side of the track unfortunately it was right next to a hole and when we came back to pick it up on the way down i am sure it was twice as heavy as when we left it there lol

had a bit of fun yorick tried to roll his g on his first outing in it
dieselboys new toy looks and sounds great and goes hard :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
wopass played log hauler
i bounced around in a paj
tintin showed up in his shiny i'm sure it gets less shiny everytime i see it
mudzilla was there in his tractor :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
and i towed my workmate in his navara a couple of times with the paj
much fun was had but i didn't have a camera wopass and DB had cameras so hopefully might see some pics and vids soon :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

There is no loop track untill they finish logging. Lots of small slips and trees down on the main track after the storm. It is cleared and drivable but still needs work. A bit tight in places. A couple big slips off the right hand side that could threaten the track in the future and you don't want to fall off. A few places are hard work for some in the rutted and muddy sections which makes it interesting. The Right hand track to the summet is now F#%ked (some people have shit for brains ) and will be a challange for most to get up. :)
