cheers dude, will keep it in mind.

your comming up eh ? whos truck you in ? when you heading up ? sat night or sunday morning ?

Yeah were coming up on saturday night(to lazy to get up in the wee hours of sunday morning and drive up)
Planning a big night on the cruza tonight to get it comp ready (Really to get it going in general) Make up some new cable horns and put some new rope on the winch.
See you there.
Cheers

If someone can confirm they will have a spare spectator seat on the day (Maybe with the video crew DieselBoy ?)
Isaac can probably come along to be official photographer for all

Turns out there might be a couple of nights work involved..........

Weather is looking nice and slippery for the weekend. Hope you guys have some good tyres

Nah, the cruza's staying put in the car park, i put the road tyres back on it on wednesday. Dans Missus is stayin home, so Sarahs gonna play it by ear an see if she can score a ride with some one, otherwise just get busy walkin

We got the finishing touches done tonight, managed to squeeze a NS70 Battery under the hood, fitted a new top rad hose, fitted a new rear wheel bearing, finished off the rear disc conversion with some longer wheel studs and bled the system, mounted the spare wheel and tool box on the deck, hooked up the volt meter, fitted the rope horns, filled the tank with Avgas................

...........AND REALISED I HAVEN'T PAID THE ENRTY FEE

Any chance i can give someone the cash on the day?? Its a bit late now for an internet banking transfer

You will have to sort that out with Steve (monstr) Try send him a pm

Yep no problem we can sort out payment when you get here,Re getting a ride over see me when you get there and ill sort out some transport over to the stages ..Steve

i noticed that i was on the first list, but not the 2nd ... Alistair Bain and Chris Bain 413

Couple of crappy maps if it helps anyone:

... two questions

1) is it ok to have 2 x 0.9 kg fire extinguishers instead of the 2kg one?

2) i have a hard top suzuki with no rear seat, do i need to have a cargo barrier between the front and rear, if everything is secured properly?

Hi Re Fire extinguishers,Yep thats good as gold
Re cargo barrier,Thats fine for this comp as long as everything in the rear is secured well .
..Steve

is it better to take old north road to peak road or waikoukou rd ?

fire extinguisher...thats what i have to do...get another one(i only have a 1kg mounted and a .3 in the glove box)

will be heading up satday arvo/evening so will be camping there the night. who else is camping there ?

Repco has a special on 2.3kg fire extinguishers for $49.95 (or something).

All this rain makes me smile, the park will be a lot of fun for people who have never been there before.

i always go waikoukou rd ( right at bp station on SH 16) then Left onto Taylor road which goes all the way through to Peak road, then Right onto Peak Road to get to the park.

Hi Wopass
Old north rd is quicker but if your towing theres a pig of a hill to climb,So if youve got a trailer on the back go Taylor rd way .Dion and i are staying the night ,we will be up there bright and early on Sat morning we need to change a couple of tracks after all this rain theres one or two bogs we have to take out otherwise its going to turn into a hard 30mtr winch (will kill lowmounts),At the moment just driving around the park is like doing a stage ,we should be back at the woolshed by 3-30_4pm..Steve

While i think about it Warren from 4wdbits has given us a BBq which will be up there for u guys to cook yourself some tea on Saturday night if needed..Steve
