i think its an awesum idea and also maybe a combined cruiser trip with mark somewhere? thompsons sprung to mind but i doubt they would want to subject the new FJ to that enviroment... im thinking the 42nd traverse as its in keeping with his trip from A to B and would be fantastic footage with good fun 4x4ing.

hell im keen as!!


from another thread.

Would be a great excuse to put a few cruiser days together around the country.

Sweet just wondering as that one was set-up with all the gear aswell but i was only told about and never saw it stuck in the river myself.

Made it to the last stop today In Invercargill. Dave Dobbyn was singing Welcome Home.

Looked like it had had a bit of a hard time, windscreen had a number of cracks, most likely from stones, broken front light, filthy inside, filthier outside, it had been airborne :lol:
