I made a passing joke to Jerry and he took it the wrong way.

said I would luv to do 10 hour, but have no winch and don't want to make it a #### for everyone else.

then I commented that I could drag Wopass down and weld a steel bar between us, coz he got the mother of all winches.

what do ya reckon that would look like..........

Think ive actually seen that before. Id imagine that wopass could probly drive it. The only problem with the place is it can be a bastard to snatch in some places, expecally if whats towing you isnt that capable.

Rallywoods trip is an overnighter http://www.offroadexpress.co.nz/modules ... 3354#93354
come along stay the night, bring beer, should be seats if you want to ride otherwise there should be some options to suit you, the aka's trip is pretty much a shiny drive with the optional 10 hr track drive
you leave those rats alone
I'd be more worried about the possums ..... if we hear any screaming in the tents we'll ignore it
you said you were coming down Skid......bring your 80 down .... I promise not to steal parts off it when you pass out drunk
and you can ride with doddzee if you ask him nicely

Yip you will be fine. You can come down it with us first and if you feel happy enough trying to come back up you can.

Turoa (if your going with a winch)

Suzuki1
crizpy
+ 2 of tubbys mates
That makes 8
Please make sure you meet the trip requirements otherwise dont bother coming

Mark will you have a winch by then?? Im not too keen to have any trucks head in there without a winch as i do not know tha capabilities of all the trucks. Dont want to be in there all night, if its dry we could get through there fairly quickly but if it rains the last hill is a bastard.

Failing that we can hook up the ol Armstrong winch
how easy is it to watch, do we have to walk the track to watch or do we drive to strategic viewing points and set up the deck chairs and coldies for when they come past

I was supposed to, but there was a cock-up so it isn't coming till end of Nov now. If there is an alternative trip on Sun I will come, otherwise I probably won't bother. I think I'll come out to Rallywoods for Sat night but I won't be there on Sat.
otherwise I probably won't bother
... unless there is a spare seat in a big red Safari ute

Yes you are still able to come on the trip if you pay the trip fees.
Would you be coming as the spectator or did you want to take the surf through the 10hr? No winch no 10 hour
