Close enough...

Also there might be a group form shore 4 wheelers turning up, so should be plenty of trucks turning up. Its going to be interesting trying to get out the back. very soft in the front paddocks.

oh and unfortunately my zuk has no redline so its mud+suzuki+valve bounce.

More zooks the better

If it has to be good for hill climbs its gotta be the weapon.... The 50 is great for its noise and exotic smell but not for hills

The mini co driver won't be attending, don't have enough seats to bring a babysitter to look after him during the hazards

All pegged, Rally site is 2.2km up Settlement Road. All Tow wagons please park out on road side, Very wet and no space inside gateway to park

I won't be competing tomorrow zuk spat a rear wheel bearing on me this afternoon whille I was mall crawling .

but I'm going to tow up another toy for shits and giggles
and to keep the Suzuki fraternity happy

Bummer I wont be able to come up and watch unfortunetly as I need to tend to the Items on my truck that are driving me insane as they are not finished.

But will be there for the next one, when there is one again.

Big thanks to landowner/s and all involved in organising it. Awesome day out

Anyone has any photos, I wouldn't mind stealing them so I can put some in the club mag

yea it was an awesome day thanks Dan. I did ok, but was still running too much pressure in my tyres. When will I learn?

The next door neighbor came down at the end of the day and was saying how good it was to see us all out there, and also when playing in the mud more neighbors were watching and videoing us

Least I didn't roll and thanks Andrew for coeing.

Was an awesome day.

The Lada went ok after some 'Jeremy Clarkson style' panel-beating on the guards to fit the bigger tyres
Trouble was it didn't want to stop

Overall, I was pretty happy. First time doing any real driving offroad

It'll take a while to learn how the lada reacts in different situations damn soft suspension

Dad seems keen for us to have more trips, so I'm happy

Thanks heaps to Dan and the others...

I don't have many photos, all of them are of the 50 or Alex ,
I got videos to upload later...

Here are a couple pics
