new chch boy

Post by passengerpete »

I'm new here and drive a one wheel drive terrano. I have not done much off roading up here, but have done a few trip's around otago area,
every time i have been out i have been stuck or broken something, not that i mind to much because it was i heap of fun. i only brought the car to tow my race car around but getting dirty is really good fun not much point having a 4wd if ya don't use it.

There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance.

Must be a unicycle :lol: Wecome aboard dude. By the looks of your statement above you need to come to the traning day we are planning in the near future. Keep an eye out for it. We aso organise plenty of local trips and your more challenging trips away. I owned a terrano for years, modded the shit out of it, ask away if you want to know anything.

rain, hail, sleet or snow, we go!

that is your drear diff doing its job unfortunately a diff which is a good thing to have when driving on a sealed road is not so handy when driving off road
my 4wd is not a truck

old mercedes never die but sometimes they do need some love

older cars are good,mercedes are better,older mercedes are the best
