Mine will be there and we even have a G-Wagen in pieces if you want to get close and personal! :)

Also does anyone have a data projector they can bring along? Would save me lugging one up from chch :D

Cheers

Already have one installed mate, just bring stuff on a CD if you wish.... if you can bear to be parted from your lappy for that long of course! :D


Awesome. bringing lappy anyway. Can never bear to be away from the lappy!

Excellent couple of days.

Yesterday was theory in Tokoroa and today Petes Place in Rotorua for the practical tests. As a newbie I learn't heaps.

All thanks to Yourick for organisation and venue in Tokoroa and to Mike who travelled up from CC to take the training sessions. Cheers guys great effort.

Fantastic practical and thanks to those who got the pleasure of towing our Pajero (on 31 AT's) around some of the obstacles and hazards.

Awesome team and hope to see most of you around and about

Cheers
Rod

Many thanks to Mike and Yorick for organizing this. Would recommend to all from novice to experienced 4 wheelers. It is amazing what you might learn.

Good to put more faces to names and hope to see some of you a Rallywoods QBW

A bloody excellent weekend all round. However I probably failed because of RedMistitis! :D Got beaten up the hill by a bloody surf! Bugger! ;)
