There is the Boat Club at Tangimoana but I'd have to check access out first. Failing that no reason we cant have a barby. You will need to bring lunch anyway.

Jerry · Post by **Jerry** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 6:30 pm

I'll put up more details soon, ie an assn tripsheet. get your hooks sorted now and join the ORE Assn now if you haven't yet (2-3 trips pays for it anyway) join here http://www.offroadexpress.co.nz/modules ... x&cPath=38

Bring your 4wd assn membership cards (or confirmation emails), if you don't join then you will need to pay a visitor fee to cover yourself.

badnuz · Post by **badnuz** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 6:43 pm

ok, i have joined ORE ( yay for me) and are working om my towhooks as we type... one question ( and i know towhooks is a touchy subject) i plan to make new endplates to mount a towbar i have, if i make the plates from 5mm can i also use the end plate ( bolted to chassis with 8.8 bolts) to mount a tow hook??? and do the said tow hooks work if mounted side on? or do i need the plate to have a fold( ie "L" style to mount the hook upright? sorry for all the q but i want to get it right and there is no real easy place on a hilux ute back-end......

cheers!!!

Bugger, looks like it's going to be a good trip.

Mmmmmmm.... in one hand I have a Coastguard block training course to fast-track my Masters ticket which I have wanted to do for a while and it's finally been organised for that date, or in the other we have a fun days 4wding in a place that we haven't been (and I like exploring) with a good bunch of people...

Responsibility vs fun. Fun vs responsibility. What a decision :cry:

Is it just me but how did this trip go from Johns very nice invite to ANYONE who wants to go on a drive down the beach to Jerry's insistent questioning about fee's and ORE Assn membership.

Jerry, if John wanted us to pay a fee, he would have said, he's not shy in coming forward, stop insisting we pay

And why are you telling people to pay their ORE Assn fee's when the invite was a open one.

Stop over-organising and micro-managing the trip.

The way I read it John has sent us a open invite for a wee drive and not asked us to mobilise the movements of the Third Reich

Or do I need another cup of coffee

:roll:
