Re: Top Half Fun Rally
It was a great day with good hazard, Thanks to Simon & Russell for the pegging of them. Big-Al for being the unoffical Officail Rally Photographer. Mark Thorburn should have just come and cooked the BBQ instead of competing and winning the day. Will post placings later
What happened to Chris and Rex? Didint see them there

Re: Top Half Fun Rally
Rex put the hard word on and said I was not allowed to damage the truck before the end of the season
Given my track record a wise decision .
Its ok the rest of the rally's are after the final's
Took the LJ50 out to a classic day , very scary to drive . Feels like it wants to lay down at every bump .

Hi Dan, I personally see no reason why he cant, seabelts fit helmet fits, you will of course have to sign off on accepting responsibility for him, hopefully from watching the other drivers he might learn something

Re: Top Half Fun Rally

I could take offence to that but given the way I drove on sunday at the Nor West W/C I can't. Nana springs to mind

Re: Top Half Fun Rally
Third (3rd) round of the Top Half Fun Rally, Sunday 18 April at Okaihau Andrew Grahams Property foot of Okaihau hill on Right.
Start Time of event is 08.30 so dont be late, you will need to be scrutineered before then.
This is also a round of the Bay of Islands Club Champs so should be a good turn out
You Auckland drivers coming up, if you were to get to Andrew's by midday Saturday we could go and have a play afternoon for 3 or 4 hours on a property just down the road.
Andrew and I will be pegging the hazards Saturday morning
Whos coming ?

Re: Top Half Fun Rally
I'm nursing a dodgy rear diff since the last one i entered (counties round at extreme park) at the moment... I'm pretty sure ARBs are'nt supposed to go click click click when driving around corners when its not engaged
Didn't notice this or the horrible whine it now has till i got home and put my quite road tyres on
I'll be at the next one though
