Thats tru, thou i lived in whangarei for the first 18 years of my life, so im still coming to terms with the fact NZ has a second island and the there is such a thing as single digit temperatures let alone sub zero,

[nuts]

if it gets that cold heell ill buil;d a bonfire and ya can sleep on that oops by that lol

[nuts]

just been talking to pr and working out a few things ...

sorry to say but ive been a bit slak

working on alternative tracks as a b plan incase ( weather gods hate me this year) since some of the tracks depend on weather (no heavy rain)

the only tracks organised in plan a that wont be weather dependant is where everyone got a good mud fix last year in fact if it rains it gets better ( ive already confermed we will be able to use his farm )

Looks like Armz is the lunch cooking bitch for Nuts for the weekend or he might end up on the spit Sunday night

[IcedJohnno]

Sorry Guys, looks like I won't be coming now.
Just been made redundant for the 2nd time in 9 months. 1st priority right now is a new job, 2nd is being able to keep paying my mortgage. This means keeping my head down when it comes to my expensive toys!
All the best, I hope you all have fun
cheers
Johnno

[kaney]

Apologies, I did send you a PM PR, POS won't be ready for this trip, will be in bits,

[1rugger]

count me in at this stage unless something happens/breaks between now and then

[DaveM]

Doesn't look like any shiny's on the list
If I get time, I will throw a rated hook on the front so I can head over for a day on an easier track (if there are any being done )

Have put in for the whole weekend off.
My truck not up to the tracks that most will be going on ,
and probably no spare seats.
Haven't caught up with Nuts for ages.
Can show you a shiney track or two if you wish.

[Armz]

Im going, taking my terrano - its a shiny, im hoping to play it reasonably safe over over the weekend - cant afford to do any damage atm

[DaveM]

If I can get a rated hook on by then, I'll be over for a couple of easy tracks.
Need to make a bracket to fit it, as there is nowhere to mount it directly to the chassis

Day one is fairly easy if you want it to be, day two a bit harder, day three mud mud mud, day four easy as its on the way home

[DaveM]

Which tracks did you have planned on day 1 and 4, same as originally planned? As long as my rated hook is mounted, I should be there for day 1. What else was required for the trip? Just tow ropes, extinguisher etc?


Cheers
