i may come just to have a look at the wonderfull lessons from jerry

Hello everyone !

I've been directed here by Mike and I'm looking forward to participate, I'm totally newbie !

I'll be there.

-david

may have to bring some moonshine for you lot to try
if this cold weather is still around on the weekend i think a curry cook off might be a good idea keep our insides warm

Please leave all chilli/curry/beer/dodgy homebrew until after the days driving..........We don't want people unfit to drive.

Curly is heading in this afternoon

Weather forecast is rain today however tomorrow will be betterer (just cloudy), Sunday will be Getting even betterer.

For those that haven't been there before please meet at the corner of moonshine and haywards 8am onwards, We will head in from there 8.30.

Please be at the Green hut by 9am as we will be starting the training at 9.15 (so you will have time for a coffee and meet everyone etc).

For those staying sat night I wil bring diesel for the generator, however a gold coin donation per truck would be appreciated. please bring meat and a handful of veges and breakfest etc. don't forget your own plate, knife and fork thingys etc.

The water up there is not really suitable for drinking so chuck in a container of water if you remember.

If you are sampling the chilli/curry please bring plenty of toilet paper

Don't forget to bring $$$ for the Rallywoods fees....

You can contact me on 027 479 2417 if you need to.

See ya there....

For those who are driving "shineys", or new to 4wding and have AT or road tyres and are going into rallywoods tomorrow, it is going to be very very slippery due to the rain over the last days. So I suggest you drop your tyres down to a sensible pressure of around 20psi at the rallywoods gate where it is shingle and mud free.

seems like i wont make it ......

Harden up!!!!

They were all fine, but as I am not bias, I will have to say mine was the best. It was sooooooooooo goooooooooood that even Sadam was to scared to show, because he knew it was pointless to even try and compete.
