More to the point how is his co driver after the swamp on stage 7.
Interesting line :lol:

that had the crowd wondering

but good result

gotta be the longest winch of all time.

Not many trucks but a great venue and good spectator points. Mustbe something about these winch guys though all nissans with one lonley crusier

All the other toyota divers seem to be a bit soft and pulled out :lol:

Went pretty well, beat the only toyota and didnt come last. Would have been nice to have done the other stages on the last day but shit happens.
Yael recovered pretty well from stage 7... thank god for a long winch rope.

Go thru a few did they? :lol:

monstr · Post by **monstr** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 1:07 pm

Yep,A couple of CVs a pto drive and a hub or two,Either Kerry is turning into a real rough Bugger or Warren needs arm restraints to keep him away from the front locker switch

You should have done what I did and not even wire the front locker up! I'm sure that is the ONLY reason I still have cv's in one piece.

Pics are up on my website if anyone wants a look.

Also, anyone who was up there and has some pics or videos of me, would I be able to grab a copy?

cheers
