Offroad-Express

Hey all, I need photos to send to Azhar so he can put together posters etc. Obviously need to have permission from who ever is in the photos and who took them etc. They need to be of 4wds in action, the more mud or bigger the vehicle the better sort of thing. Needs to be as hi res as possible.

the sooner I can get them the better,

either email me at lincoln.norwest@gmail.com

or just post some up here?

cheers
Lincoln

So update time.

Dropped some Photos off to Azhar tonight. Will complement the awesome advertising that is going to be done on the net, in NZPC and posters and all that. Some very good looking advertising.

Also he said we can get to do any other events too, such as wings Vs Wheels at Ardmore next year too So that's sweet as

Still looking for more Trucks, road legal or not. Just stuff to draw the crowds in.

Finally I questioned him regarding the security of the events and of the break-ins and that sort of thing. He was genuinely surprised to hear about them, and he described the two events that he knows of that is nothing like a break-in. So if anyone has had a car broken into on the friday then they haven't told the organisers which in my view is stupid. Why wouldn't you?

and to those who think that the nats just attracts rat bags etc, those old days have long gone, yes you still get some but you get them at every show, Kumeu, Beach Hop etc. The events are much more high profile and run with much more attention and care. This is a Proper event now. So please guys, give it a chance.

Hi all,

Just a reminder that we are still looking for more trucks. especially on the Saturday. Need more for Sunday too, but really want to get the show sorted as soon as possible.

cheers
Lincoln

Well, I am now REALLY needing trucks to be signed up for this.

The Nation trials have now taken a few trucks away as that is the same weekend so I really need some more trucks. Need a lot for Saturday and quite a few for Sunday.

I need confirmations as soon as possible please.

Tehre have been concerns over security of trucks left at the show grounds overnight on the friday, but the below email from Azhar should help to make you guys happy.

And questions, please, please ask me. Give me a PM, email (lincooln@gmail.com), or phone calls 0210642798

Cheers
Lincoln

There will be no concerns over the security of your trucks what so ever. I will have a dedicated security at the area of the trucks all night. Also this area will be closed for public during the setup time also which will mean safer for you guys.

I haven’t had any issues with my security side of things for the last 6 years I have been running my events so I can just about guarantee this.

Thanks

Good on ya for getting behind this and getting it out there, i would offer my truck if i was in the north island.. Will be good to see some actual beasts in the car show compared to all the normal ones we see!!

thanks man, It has been bloody hard work getting the people who I have now, and even then a few have pulled out due to other events or as such, not to mention the haters.

But its getting there, just getting bloody close now though

I hope my truck will be V8 and the bars on by then, not that she`s all that pretty. (pretty ugly maybe)

that sounds sweet. So put your name down for the Saturday then?

Pencil me in as a firm maybe ?

sweet as

Dates are 28-29 Jan

Friday (27th) is setup day at the ASB show grounds in Greenlane. This is from about 5:30pm to about 7 or 8pm.Trucks will be kept in a fenced off area all night and will have security with them all night.

Saturday pack up is after the show finishes at 6pm, gates open again at 6:30 so you can leave anytime after that.

Sunday is the demo day at Meremere. This requires you to either park your truck up there over night or be down at Meremere by absolutely no later than 7am, 6:30am is the ideal time to arrive.

okay, I am just wondering if anybody has some ramps or some big chunks of wood we can use for the display on the Saturday? If I could please borrow them that would be absolute magic.

Cheers
Lincoln

Do you also run the one in chch

sorry mate. I am only organising a 4wd demo at the nats on behalf of Azhar.

Cheers

Can you fire me an email with whats involved dude? Pretty keen on both days. Hugomaclean@gmail.com

I have some of those poxy tin ramps here if you want to borrow them.
You know my number and address
Just don't ask to borrow my axle stands, as T2 will be on them for a little while getting a front drive up-grade

Cheers,

Ramps are on sale at supercheap $130 a pair if that helps.

Hi all

I need to please have the confirmations for Sunday if you want to attend.

This is at Meremere on Sunday the 29th. We will be using the hill on the right side of the strip where in previous years has been moto-X. and if the weather continues as it is now then it will be quite slippery and interesting.

You will need to be at the Strip on the Sunday by 7am. Absolutely no later than 7am. 6:30am will be Ideal.

Also if a few guys with winches come that would be great as they would like some sort of winch demo too.

any questions please ask away.



Also thanks for the offers of ramps etc. I will be in touch in due course.

Lincoln

Hey
Have we missed this boat? or are you still looking for trucks? Have you got any pictures of the track? What sort of track are you building?

Cheers

The following is on behalf of Lincooln: (he is away where there is no such thing as the internet )

If you are keen to have your truck in the show on the Saturday, send a pic or two of it to lincoln.norwest@gmail.com

And for the Sunday, no tracks have been set up yet, that will be done the weekend before the actual event. But it is likely to involve a bit of mud, as it is quite often wet at the bottom of the hill, and then the hill itself will help to make things interesting. So should be quite good.

Sweet, cheers for that.
