this sounds like it could be fun

unfortunately my wagon is still illegal and i don't have a tow wagon

i'd be keen to co drive though

HI, i'd say that most people's trucks will be legal, bring it :lol:

.I dont know if this trip will happen

,as there is no one showing much enthusiasm

Cheers scott

mine is almost legal on body rust oil leaks the usual problems with solihull finest

the other issue is the fact rangi swallows fuel at an astonishing rate at the moment

Got the answer for ya .... how about a LPG unit, "never flogged, only ever driven on sunny days and kept in a garage the rest, one elderly lady owner..." :lol:

hmmm

I'm keen scotty been chatting with MT about it.... what ya think about opening it up to the north island clubs, the less extreme (the poor'er ones :wink:

) I don't think theres to many of us on the site that would show :lol:

and I think some of us are going to have to marshel :roll:

but at least the marshels get to set the course :twisted:

i'm just thinking of taking to somone who understands carbuerators because i certainly don't and get them to set it up properly.that should make a big improvement it is supposed to just be a toy so i'll just accept the fact that when i use it it will be thirsty but in theory i won't be using it enough to be to much hassle.

but then again it depends how much fun i have as to how often i'll use it

Doing a wee bit of logging work on Tartrikina at the moment

we've had to open up some old tracks to get the skidder in...

might just go for a wee explore and clear a few more

The track we are using to get in and out... oohh baby :lol:

anything short of 6' tires and you'd never come out, but I reakon its do able going in, a nice muddy washout into the river running down stream in places waist deep with a strong current pushing ya a few bolders nothing to big, then a little lip to climb out, onto a little flat to line yourself up for the first of 3 steep pummis climbs

I need another truck to play!

Talking with the locals there is some really interesting tracks to play on, down the bottom the country is a mix of pummis, rock and mud and its mostly all regrowth scrub with old access tracks hidding away, up top it getts real step and turns into step rock ridges and native bush, You could run any level event here without problems

Cheers Reece

Steves already on it .... I'm just waiting for a date, and hopefully a finished truck to play with

Cheers Reece
