I didnt get to see much of anyone today as i was always driving so will be good to see some footage of everyone

In advance.

I just wanna say, Thanks to Mike! This site is awesome mate!!
It was good to finally meet you and to see you driving so well in a crap looking 4X4.
All the time you spend keeping this site in good shape? I take my hat off to you, and I'm sure lots of others do to.

Keep it up Mike! :thumright:

Ive got 62 mins of bloody good video footage, just gota find a way to get it off the tape and onto something I can edit it with, my TV card in the comp is not doing it justice on capture, plays straight off the camera like TV, but cant get it to save either with audio or in a good res.
I'm gona try with the good gear at work tomorrow, hopefully you will see the results in the next few days on the vid page.

Thanks for the support, days like this and trips also make it all worth while.

One thing I noticed today is the amount of backups ie lwb's that had to reverse. Perhaps they need a class now for these as they seem to number quite a few. perhaps a good new forum topic.

Who was the poor bugger who rolled the gold surf? A mate has one of those bodies spare if anyone is interested.. its stripped but is sitting on a chasis (no front axle etc) but straight and good for a swap.

Posted: **Sun Sep 23, 2007 8:22 pm**

We didn't get to stay long because the young fella was getting cold, but what we saw was awesome.

I hope your truck isn't too badly roughed up Pete, that was a fine effort on your part, and boy does she sound good with that V8.

Mike, I was quite impressed to see how good the LR went. Another good effort.

Does anyone have a list of where ORE members came intheir respective classes etc?

Bring it on next year.

how much body damage the the 40 suffer Pete, is it a propper repair job or throw the top away and leave it a rough truck job?

Posted: **Sun Sep 23, 2007 10:03 pm**

Just uploaded some more pictures :wink:

sorry that some of them are a bit blury cause the camera started to mist up :cry:

Was a great day had lots of fun, very tight course suited for the trucks with fiddle brakes and I didn't break or bend anything :lol:

The scoring was a joke :shock:

if you went on to the course a stoped straight away you got 100 points if you went on and had to reverced (which most people had to do cause it was so tight) and nocked over two pegs you got 140 points.

out of my 2200 odd points 1600 was due to revercing

Was a pleasure pulling you back on your wheels petefj40 :wink:

hope theres not to much damage :roll:

I came close to rolling in the second to last track :roll:
