Swampy and I will probably be keen!!! as long as we are sticking to the easy side.

I've only been up once before. It was dry as shit up the main track. I hear things have changed a wee bit

What day etc?

[Furgus]

Definitely just sticking to the easy side.......for me its just an excuse to take an overseas buddy for a play & to test out the D130 I'll be chucking a decent set of muddies on it but other than that it's standard! Sunday is when I'm looking to go... would be great to meet up with a couple of others.....

Yup sucks big time.......I only picked it up ~4 weeks ago......1998 LR Defender 130 with <100K on the motor..........it just started knocking REAL loud today when I went down to the shops!!!!!!! Luckily a friend was driving past & took me home to get the disco to tow it back with.

[Furgus]

[mudlva]

so how was thomos guys ????

[flyingbrick]

Did anyone even go?

It pissed down with rain so I stayed home.

[Furgus]

Well we got it sorted. I had the truck transported up to Auckland on Tuesday & drove up to bring it home today. It was just a broken tappet & luckily no other damage done, I never knew that that could make such a racket!!!!!!! Big respect to Eli from Forward Specs - repaired it all at NO cost at all, in fact it was even full of diesel when I picked it up (it was empty when I sent it up!!!).
