Maybe but the competiton side is part of the NZFWDA.....so if there are results on there then they should be updated by the comp committee

..... maybe SKID should pull finger and fix this instead of moaning about it

thats a crock o shit Jerry
I just checked the site and yes there are old results there, but not as old as those published in said magazine. The ones on the site at the moment are only a couple of years old and they are dated.
If you can find where he got his results from, then send me the link.

Sam is now cathy, swapped genders a couple of years ago. He doesn't have much to do with it anymore and it has gotten a little better. In my opinion you can't beat 4wdmonthly from oz.

Hey Jerry,
I'm 'in-charge' of the NZFWDA website and always welcome a helping hand. Sounds to me like you might be volunteering to help us keep the comp results up to date...? Good on ya!It's good to know that when needed you pull finger and fix things instead of moaning about it.
Ha, no seriously now - We realise things are way out of date and developments are under way to fix that. Thanks at least for airing your thoughts.
And yes, the competition committee (who organise the national trials series) have their own site now (
http://www.4x4trials.co.nz) and have been doing a good job keeping things up-to-date.

I WAS a fan of the Australian 4wd Action mag, cool that you could ge their dvd's included with the mag. But after a bit the ads just got more and more, i got thoroughly sick of them bleating about Mickey Thompson tyres (in both the mag and the dvds) and generally the format turned into "by a classified listing/product placement mag, and get the dvd version for free". The only saving grace was Roothy.
I'll only get the JP mag now.
Shelly, I hope the next article you write (assuming its the Chrismas get together, considering you were asking for pics from the day)includes other females who own their own wagons and use them to get dirty.....

gotta be gutted about the "VX that had to move a couple of times to pull out a v8 fj40" line wopwop....... could have potentially read.... "the behemoth was forced to waken from its slumber and laboriously intercede in the stalled activities, to extract the usually highly mobile and effervescent older member of the family"

Well, I bought the latest NZ4WD, as there was an article on the latest GPS map available, of course there was little else I could be bothered reading, so gave it away.
Problem is, I can't remember the name of the maps I was going to buy

. Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Dave
