Thoughts? this gives Turoa enough time to rebuild his truck?, perhaps make it a $5 per truck donation towards Mike and his ORE fund, BBQ byo or $2 pp? or byo?

I might be there but il probably only have a stocka vitara oh well

100% chance I'll be there if I'm not in chch that weekend. Being in the daylight will be good to, like seeing when recovery straps are not connected :wink:

or falling off the track into drains

Don't worry about the donation. Membership will take care of that, as soon as i get structure in the site to take care of all those things then we can start doing that but at the moment its probably more of a hinderance trying to keep track of it.

Look forward to another play day.

So you're gonna be around to help me finish it by then? :lol:

although the rear axle should be done next weekend.

hang on you told be it would be done in a couple of weeks

But seriously is this too soon?

turoa · Post by **turoa** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 5:03 pm

2 weeks aye? I have had some setbacks which meant it would take longer. On the 23rd theres a trip into rally woods I'd like to go on. So I'll aim for then. But you'll have to move the Aotea play.

Whats a more suitable date?

turoa · Post by **turoa** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 5:56 pm

When I finish

although I can give you the number of the guy so you can organize it.

zigen · Post by **zigen** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 6:22 pm

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 6:29 pm

I was thinking more of say a gumboot...for chopping up your landrover oops

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 6:30 pm

Easy enough to get a ride if you need it

WACKO · Post by **WACKO** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 7:30 pm

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Mon Jul 10, 2006 8:29 pm

Anyway Turoa......what about turning to the dark side and begging, borrowing, towing or stealing the Nissan????...you can always blutack a LR badge onto it?

Bubba · Post by **Bubba** » Thu Jul 13, 2006 4:26 pm

I just figured out that the 23rd isn't this weekend :oops:

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 10:35 pm

Well the 23rd is this sunday...are people keen to do this, Turoa how is your landr.... err pile of landrover parts, do we want to postpone a couple of weeks?

markr · Post by **markr** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 10:44 pm

What time are you all meeting...

Post by **mike** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 10:44 pm

I think I would be keen, I have to drop the surf off at a m8's house across the road in tawa so I can fix it anyway, with his permission to use his garage of course(if he is reading this). But I think I can get one more play day out of it before the front end completely binds up :shock:

After all who will be around to pull jumpers terrano out :wink:

Well you gotta be blardy well joking if you think my very cool daihatsu swallowing, suzuki eating, landcruiser bashing monster will be ready by this weekend. Reason being is that my 9" grinder is broken :lol:

I can still get access for you if you're keen though. And the patrol is still not happy (suspected head gasket (blown from lots of revving, I think rhino must have it on video)).

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Tue Jul 18, 2006 10:56 pm

I thought the idea was to put it back together rather than grind more bits off it?

and to make it worse, we didnt even chop enough before it broke

Gutted....love that word it says it all

...why don't we make it the 6th of august...thats two weeks away and that should give Turoa a bit of time to get his LR going again :roll:

I think its the bushes on the inside of the hubs binding to the half shafts. But if its something else I may have to rob some bits off ya if you have any lying around :wink:

Will pull it apart soon and have a look at the damage. Just one more play though, one more

Mike

zigen · Post by **zigen** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 12:21 pm

im still keen for a play, if turoa cant get access, then let me know and il open the gate up with my key.

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 4:16 pm

There seem to be people keen for this weekend, the beauty with this site (with permission) is that we can have another one on the 6th, 13th or 20th as well....???

krawlr · Post by **krawlr** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 4:21 pm
