Al

I hope to have the vehicle ready by then (most likely untested) but ready. So yeah I'll be there banner and all. I may have the loudest but slowest v8 there running straight pipes with one straight through muffler on each bank poking out the side (didnt get a chance to get the exhaust done properly). :roll:

Should be a fun day, tell you what Al, if the LR runs ok and can actually compete and the terrano beats it points wise then I'll get ya a box of speights. Means I owe three boxes of speights, two to hosehustler and one to you (if I loose ).

I hope people will be there with vid cameras, we need all the footage we can get for offroadexpress TV :twisted:

I aint saying anymore :afro:

I'll be there to give the Discovery another workout. Hopefully I can go a while without breaking anything else.

Hey Paul (PR), it may pay to tighten up the bolts holding the body on the Pajero. It would be a good idea to keep it attached to the chassis.
:lol:

Hey Paul you might want to take along some spare parts unless you can remove some of the lead from your Ladys right foot.

I'm sure that the guy upstairs has a sense of humour. I'll put in a good word for you. :lol:

Only 25 entries so far??? That is a pretty poor turnout. We might have to put the word around a bit more or at least put on a good ORE display. I thought we had 7 or 8 trucks keen?? :?:

If anyone has 2 four point harnesses in christchurch that I can use in the Loburn trails (have a soft top so rules state harenesses) I will be able to enter :cry:

otherwise Ill start the new mods I want to do:-
Suspension lift, Body lift, offset rims and 35x14.5x15 :twisted:

I was talking to Rick from 4wd accessories, hes helping make it I think. From what I gathered its in an old quarry, with grassy banks, one mud hole (man made) and one water hole (man made too). One of the stages is a ramp to test your articulation. Should be fun.... I suppose I should really enter.... hmmmm. would be my first drive of the truck in a year...

Post by **mike** » Fri Nov 17, 2006 8:05 am

Dont just think about it do it, for the last year or so I've heard you talk about if you had your truck you would have been on all the trips, well you will have your truck so youve got no excuse now :lol:

Put one locker in the rear and your away! two days left to enter, should be a fun filled day. Remeber you dont have to do all the obstacles, I dont have a snorkel on the LR so not sure if ill do the deep water one.

Just remember bill, the whole site will be most dissapointed if you dont enter and will give you shit about it on every trip you attend from now on :shock:

Mike

wjw · Post by **wjw** » Fri Nov 17, 2006 8:10 am

lol, so I should come round to yours to do the lockers then

Might be a bit tight if I'm only collecting the truck saturday! ie the 25th!

Post by **mike** » Fri Nov 17, 2006 8:25 am

put gear sticks in(dam gotta find those)
sort out heater hoses
