Got the Safari running, the alternator seemed to have fixed its self. So was thinking it was a loose wire, checked all the connections and seems to be sweet! Did some other fiddling round with it, new brake lights and the ARB sticker to make it go faster!

oh and found out the safari has old man emu nitro chargers all round! sweet!

You can just see the sticker on the rear window, with the barbie about to be cranked for a feed

something to do with your image size i think, says "it was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image".

Had a wicked weekend, went for a trial through a mate of a mates farm to a Hut called Gundys hutt, was pretty awesome with some knarly side tracks that we went venturing down. Even got my first bush dent from a pesky tree stump that was in the hill my door was leaning against!

Up Odlins road last weekend this was my first proper trip out in the Terrano other than playing around at Red Rocks. Was gutted ran out of time and didn't quite make it to the Hut.

Ting Ting ting ting (sound of coin dropping)

I came across a dvd of footage in the weekend from Churchill,
on it was the vid of you being "near textbook" recovered by me on the big sand descent at "the sisters" up at Woodhill.
With your permission I would like to post it here.
Now I can put a face to the truck to the ORE nickname

The 105 was the giveaway :lol:

Was a good trip and it was Ironic how you were recovered by a Norwestie on the Auckland 4x4 patrol day :lol:

Cheers,
Simon.

Where abouts is that track near Ngunguru? Last time I was up there I was just cruising around the gravel road near the coast south of the Ngunguru sandspit, just exploring and some fat maori bastard gave me death threats! And no i didnt go anywhere past signs saying private property (there were a few around). It was a public road

Hey Mate,

It was at the end of Te Toiroa Road all the sign says is "Council Maintainence Ends Here". You have to go down a driveway for about 15m then its got the sign and you take the left hand track. I have work mates that live along there and they use it as a short cut to get to Ngunguru or if your on the other end its a short cut to come to town.
Its about 3kms long.

Cheers
Ray
