Welcome to the site.

Make sure you remove the front license plate if you're going to be doing river crossings else you'll lose it... learnt that one the hard way :lol:

I used to spend more time at Hampton or Pukekohe, but sold the old toy so this is the new toy
I'm not really up with the whole 4x4 scene yet and haven't really done any investigation as of yet into clubs
Not looking for any competition just some fun away from the fanboy drifters
