You sure as hell know how to be offensive Skid. Why would anyone go out of their way to help you with that sort of comment!
Peter, I don't know if its personal thing with the exec, but it seems that some of the Wellington clubs are being ignored.

Ouch our points added up quickly after hitting a tree and bending our front arms. Guess you get that when you get 8 or so 200's with a stuffed truck. Perhaps next time I will listen to the co-driver
Anyway back when the truck was going had a heap of fun on this course even if we didn't clear it

Yip at the end of the mud on course 4. We tried to continue and next bump in the front bent the arm in half and snap driveshaft and bent a few other things. Drove it onto the trailer with tie downs holding the diff in place.

well i could have got rid of 200 points easy, 100 being forgetting to put fuel in it, 80 forgetting to turn the rear steer switch on so the back took out the peg and 20 thinking i had more diff clearance than i did and getting stuck in the ruts, that would have put me in 2nd place but owel haha

They wouldnt recognise you under all that mud anyway yep we are 53 we have an honest attempt at the hazards and we recken that if we finish the day with minimal damage and have heaps of fun at the same time then thats what its all about. Scoring good points is a bonus.
