About 120 kms in an hour? I don't think so. I like to spend the money on mods/repairs, not traffic fines. Others are welcome to drive as they please. Directions and map are now here.

I was referring to the top coming off the Wrangler on Saturday, but seeing as how you asked:

"Eagles - Hell freezes over tour" dvd, it got the boy to sleep and got me reminescing of an ill spent youth.

Nicked the sig line off someone else, not patient enough to try to think that up!

we had a great day on the track

unfortunately it was ruined on the way out when hitbiga had an accident on the old te aroha rd and thompsons rd intersection
the guys in the vitara are okay but there were some injuries in the other car think there was a broken arm in there but not certain i'm sure we will get more details soon

otherwise we had a great day out had 8 vehicles i think at the start of the day got to the summit and most of the vehicles carried on over. then about 2:00pm 3 vehicles turned back had to be back in akld at a decent hour.
that left us with 4 yorick,xj,86surf and hitbiga we kept going until we found a nice big mud hole and then turned around and drove backout again got to the summit about 4pm drove down the hill and then went to the ford up the road to wash some mud off and head home from there
my 4wd is not a truck

old mercedes never die but sometimes they do need some love

older cars are good,mercedes are better,older mercedes are the best
