So is there a trip planned yet? Mark and I are having withdrawals. Been having to go out on our boat to have bbq's and go fishing instead. Talk about the hard life!

I believe Stinky was organising a Rallywoods trip, are people keen for a nice relaxed day at the beach? ie Fishing, BBQ bring the Kids , watch Mr O get stuck round red rocks again? etc

Havent got many free weekends coming up over the next month but will add my name to the list if the date fits :lol:

Post by **Mark** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 7:36 pm

Any interest in getting this trip back on track? We are going away for a couple of weeks on the weekend of the 17th Feb, so perhaps we could do it on 11 Feb (Sun)? The weekend before that is the 7's, so that's out. We haven't been there yet, so really keen to get out for a look and a play.

I have just checked the http://www.rallywoods.co.nz site calendar and that weekend appears to be clear.

If no-one else is already organising it I can arrange it if there are numbers.

to be honest mark i dont know if it would be quite your cup of tea in there in your nissan......... :shock:

depends on how much damage you mind :twisted:

Post by **Mark** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 7:50 pm

Yeah? Is it a bit tough on the panel work is it? What sort of damage are you referring to?

mroffroader · Post by **mroffroader** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 8:26 pm

bashed sills defitently (if i did them bad on the zook your doomed in the whale) doors, panels everthing and especially your roof in there on the whale not to mention scratches but in saying that you wont do too much damage if you opt out of some of the more hardcore tracks and bogs etc

but you will still scratch it up :roll:

WACKO · Post by **WACKO** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 9:12 pm

to have a good time up there you need to be prepared to do damage... but it soooo much fun doing it! :lol:

you may be able to avoid dents, but i afraid scratches are a probable, almost definate on a lwb high top whale....

turoa · Post by **turoa** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 9:23 pm

Oh cmon, I damaged the rangerover more at aotea than I have at rallywoods. I suppose its how you drive it though.

Mro, you need to stop pretending your suzuki is hardcore, you're always damaging things.

WACKO · Post by **WACKO** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 9:28 pm

thats why its hardcore!! :lol:

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Tue Jan 23, 2007 10:27 pm

As I understand it there are shinier track options as well as hard core ones, perhaps someone who knows it can take the trip thru a route that caters for both.

mroffroader · Post by **mroffroader** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 6:52 am

il take people through there but i aint taking shiney vehicles hahahaha :twisted:

Handbrake · Post by **Handbrake** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 8:10 am

Hey Mr O, I'm sure that to encourage everyone and let everyone enjoy the sport, Jerry's option would be good. A few scratches don't worry us (ie: our first "Shiney" trip that ended up going through gorse tracks that scratched the shit out of ours!), and we a realistic that even though ours is a "shiney", that things will happen and damage will occur. We would have just as much fun coming along, doing what we think our vehicle can handle, then watching everyone else with purpose built vehicles wreck theirs!! :lol:

I guess as we get more money etc we will gradually build up things on the whale so we can do harder stuff. ONe day we will buy something new to tow our boat, so the whale can be "released" into the wild !!1 :lol:

Just a thought anyway. We don't mind cosmetic damage, and anything that is going to incur major damage, we just wouldn't do, so it may work?

mroffroader · Post by **mroffroader** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 9:43 am

well with that infomation it would be ok for you to go but do expect some scratches and possibly dents to avoid any major damage dont do some of the harder bits

Handbrake · Post by **Handbrake** » Wed Jan 24, 2007 10:10 am

AWESOME!!! Well we would never go anywhere and expect no stratches and minor damage anyway, it is just the major damage we have to avoid......as long as we can still tow our boat, ie: the wheels still turn and the tow bar is still attached, we can work around a few dings and dents! :lol:

Well the attached towbar bit might be a bit iffy. But thats ok we know a guy who can fix them :wink:

. Everytime I see the Whale it has reverted more and more to it's natural wild state.
