Re: 27 - 28 March 2010
Had a quick trip out to Mt Adams to start some trail making. A mate went with me and as Rodger (owner) was not available to be a guide I did get a little turned around and ended up finding a shepards hut in an area I have not been to yet, long steep hill with a 80 deg left turn, so a bit tricky with the rain, rock and clay

Re: 27 - 28 March 2010
got my brother's mini tuned and running right after being told by a "mini expert" that it would never get rid of the flat spot in the power, turned out it was just running way way to lean.
Managed to pry my zuk back off my dad and degreased everything in the engine bay and sorted plans for the front bumper/bar work that i need to do along with the snorkel and spot lights.
