Damn shame that macca. Mikeey1: the training group will be on the south side, not sure on what Tim is planning. Depending on how much water is in the waimak, the training group might do some confidence building.

Sounds great!
training sounds great, I'd also like to see the big boys so to speak have a demo and or play as well.
It's all great stuff to learn and aspire too........

Can anyone give me a street address for the meeting place, or should I find it on Friday and just crawl out in the morning

confidence building=getting them stuck and used to the feel of a snatch, using winches and keeping traction in really soft pea gravel. Also look for some steep sidebanks to go up and over.
address=head down main rd nth and just before it turns into the motor way there is a pub, carpark around the back.

Hey Surflover,

I'll have that shackle to you by the weekend dont you worry :wink:

Since I'm so late getting it to you I'll make it a very usable 2 sizes bigger for you so you can pull those heavy nissans out :wink:

Sorry its been late, I hate moving city! I'll put a tow hook in on the same order and you can fix the site up later. How does that sound?

Hi all,
looks like at this stage we have 5 coming in the in the experienced group, I was going to head upstream on the north bank as i'm quite familiar with te tracks that side.
Tho this would stuff up us all meeting up again later on in the day

If we decide to head up the South bank i'd be winging it :roll:

What suits you chaps :?:

hosehustler · Post by **hosehustler** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 11:53 am

monaro427 · Post by **monaro427** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 12:44 pm

tomsoffroad · Post by **tomsoffroad** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 9:33 pm

Is it too late to join in? Got tomorrow off all I have left to do on the jigger is............ Rebuild the left swivel housing (right done) Change the gearbox and transfere. and put in a new pinion seal in the rear diff!!!!!!

Should be able to get that done by then :wink:

Has anyone got a Ph number I can ring if it gets down to the last minute?? PM me please.
Only really keen on the Nth bank. I know of a few good piles of rocks up that side.

SupraLux · Post by **SupraLux** » Fri Oct 07, 2005 12:59 pm

I'm putting in an apology. Conans truck chewed a couple of days extra out of my timetable, and so I am not going to be able to make the deadline to get the MU tidied away.

Also, I have to move house this weekend and the lovely wife is going to be pretty pissed if I leave that to her to go play down the 'Mak.

Still - the upside of these huge trips that get totally out of hand as far as numbers go is that everyone gets really keen and so next weekend will be another trip for at least half of the attendees

Next weekend is looking good for the MU (How many times have I said that?

) NO MORE WORK IN THE SHED TILL THE MU IS DONE!!!

Its only going to need a day to do it - leave me alone! :roll:

Just off the phone to Al, and come what may we will be there for the training session. The weather forecast is not flash but we have ways round that...plenty of tarps and you guys will all have a decent raincoat...a wee tip, keep your body well wrapped and have warm socks...and wear shorts!
Just bring a change of clothes, and a spare pair of sox and sneakers to wear home.
A good plan in any weather if there is mud flying!

PRS 19, and see you there!!!

Regards...Robbie (4x4rob plates on a black safari)

DaveM · Post by **DaveM** » Fri Oct 07, 2005 6:46 pm

Might get to try the pto for the first time then

I will be taking it easy anyway, unless there is a volunteer to tow me home to Blenheim if I break something :lol:

Dave

albundy · Post by **albundy** » Fri Oct 07, 2005 6:50 pm

That's right guys, come rain, hail, sleet or snow, I will be there. Only way I won't is I'll be dead. Dress for the weather, first rule of 4wdriving= dress for the westher and all possible seasons. I'll have a tarp to sit under if needed. If you have PRS, channel 19. See you all there boys, and if your keen 4wdrivers, you will be there rain, hail, sleet or sonow.
