Re: 5th and 6th
I was invited to go out for a drive on a farm.
That is one great little piece of land ...
A steep slippery track with a fun little side loop down to a grassy area at the bottom that was very deceiving ... no one got through without help ... It was a bog in waiting
Then a bit of a river run ( I rode with a mate for this bit - Must get the snorkel done )
Then another challenging track before changing back to tyers with some road maners and coming home.
All in all a fantastic time...

There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance.

Took the Dog to get laid
on Saturday
Sorted out the rear suspension in the Surf on Sunday, much softer ride and better flex know. Pulled the blown diff out of the front and put the new one in and pulled out all the stupid ADD system
Just got to sort the Rear diff head and new wheel bearings.
Finished blocking off the EGR as well.
Hopefully be able to go for a drive offroad again next weekend.

We past you guys just as you turned off onto Wilsons Road
We went right up to the top and had a look around Waionui Inlet and Ti Tree Island.
