the worst thing about the whole spitting the fan belt issue is i was planning on gettin a spare from repco on the way there ....... then stopped for a hot coffee after picking up my navi and then promptly forgot about the bloody belt
but it all worked out in the end so its all good
as for the day, as DB said we split from hamiltron and headed to tomos with the intention of hitting the loop track and hitting it hard
which we did and were having a ball !! couple of trees to sort out which my truck does quite well (see vid clip) and then a small slippery uphill that had to be given some effort (where my belt first popped off) then on from there where there was a couple more trees over the track,managed to drag the first one off the track but the second(a mature pine of about 50ft in length)was a bit much to move so around it we went.
pretty good driving after that for a little while untill we got to the big pond where a compulsory dip was taken
...which is about where my belt let go again and was munched 
crap, thats pretty much when it started to really PISS down..... yea fun 
pretty much what pete said from there but ill add that the fiddy is AWESUM and is a force to be reckoned with in the bush,totally self suficient(that tiny winch is perfect for the job) and a very capable little truck. good work dude
small vid clip of a some interesting spots...sorry but all the stuff after that was kinda forgotten about with the camera as we were a bit busy
