You mean Non-road legals aye Tu's??

Yea, vehicles that arent legal for the road will be fine to drive to/from wherever we go offroad.

So.... you tow your vehicle up to the green hut, and leave the tower there for the weekend (where we are staying)

Bloody awesome. Good work Jerry getting the Cruiser club involved.
I too would be keen for anything that comes along out of that. Plus it expands the territory and options.
With regards to getting non-road legal vehicles in there - if anyone in Welly needs a tow, I have got a car trailer available. PM me if in need.

I suspect a few vehicles may need tows home :oops:

is it worth having a short truck test afternoon at Aotea or something a week or 2 before QBW?

What.....so everyone can break everything before they even get there!

Jokes aside, that may be a could thing to have a "quiet" play and just to check everything is running.

There called shake down tests.....so people who have just finished projects (me and tu's) can test our trucks are going to work and if they break we have 2 weeks to improve them :wink:

Ok Sunday trip into the Aka's/Karapoti is all organised, I will sort out the trip sheet for the insurance, non 4wd assn members will be paying a visitor fee to cover their day insurance (join up now ...just click on the store...there will be more of these trips happening in the future...), route depends on how many shiny vehicles there are. I think there is a $15 access fee for all vehicles going in but will confirm this. Will meet up at rallywoods and go in thru there.

YOU WILL NEED : 1 Rated hook Front and Rear mounted securely.....these will be checked, fire extingisher 1kg min, shovel or spade, first aid kit, rated recovery strop. NON COMPLIANT VEHICLES ARE LIKELY TO NOT BE ALLOWED TO GO (Give Marty aka Stinky a call on 384 4141 if you need your hooks sorting)

I expect good conduct on this leg of the trip as well from ORE members, so we don't go in any bogs without checking or split up etc ie we keep to the convoy etc.....If there are such problems then I won't bother organising any futher interclub trips....please remember its not private land like rallywoods so there are places we can and can't play.

so this part of the trip is not for the shiney newbes if any are coming yeah?? (im thinking of the people who dont have full recovery gear and hooks etc)

Good stuff but Bring the landy mike!!!

Im sure there will be a couple of spare seats around for some people with non-compliant trucks to hitch a ride.

There is a small possibility that i will be an ARAC trip leader by then if so and there is the demand we could run 2 trips in there, hard and shiny.

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Wed May 09, 2007 9:53 am

I have suggested that its a Shiny / optional tough bits trip..... Re Trip leader thats already sorted....so it caters for both groups.....if this is the case then the hook requirements will apply for those going into the optional hard bits.

If there is demand for 2 trips let me know and we can organise it....I'll have a chat to you at ccvc clubnight tonight re this doddzee...

Well im all booked, so ill be there for sure but without the surf or the LR unless i can figure out how to get the LR in the carry on luggage. perhaps our resident canterbury airport fire training officer can hitch a rope to the LR just before take off :wink:

I will be camera man the whole weekend, so be warned if you do something stupid and outrageously funny chances are I will get it on film whoahahaha :twisted:

im keen as a dog on heat, but my trucks my dd and cant afford to break it, are the tracks going to be extrem or?

Handbrake · Post by **Handbrake** » Fri May 11, 2007 6:29 pm

Hi. We also use our truck as a tow vehicle for our boat, so are in the same situation. We have done HEAPS of trips now, and there are always options for the hard bits. You can't avoid the few scratches here and there from gorse etc, but other than that you can pretty much just follow round, do the easier stuff and then watch the other guys (stinky, Sadam, etc etc) do the crazy stuff! There is plenty of entertainment. We bring our two kids, one is almost 3 and one is 18 months, so everything that we personally do is able to be done with them in the car. I hope that answers your question. No doubt, even if you wanted to come and jump in with someone else so that your truck didn't get broken, that wouldn't be a problem either I don't imagine.

You'd be a brave man to follow handbrake and mark where they take their whale full of kids Basic's

you want to come along even if its only for a day to have a look and assess things for yourself, and as handbrake said just start easy and don't get yourself somewhere you don't really want to be :wink:
