It was the very next hazad we got towed by a tractor onto the biggest log they could find lol.

i watched flexy driving petefj40 buggie he drove around that tree like it wasnt there.

pete you found one good driver there and as a navi youll be learnin really fast

What a great day, my thanks to the organisers, was well worth the effort, the challenges / hazards provided their share of carnage for the competitors, and the spectators sure did their job with plenty of cheering

Many thanks to passenger pete for jumping in rugby boots and all, don't know if he'll be keen again tho, mixed bag from me with a roll in the morning, and again in the arvo
we still battled on and finished the day, not one of my highest scroring days but finished up pretty much damage free and mobile.....loving it
my cheek muscles are sore as from laughing and smiling so much...it's great to be alive
here's a few shots of us on 4 wheels and not on 4 wheel courtesy of Bob Utteridge (Quadracer) cheers Bob

i watched that happen. hope u got off the tree ok. the little ones wonted more trucks and u were holdin up ther fun. LOL thats wot lili was saying

hosehustler i heard ur rolled it but when i was watchin u in the avo, you were havin fun, dam i like the sound of the lexus

well vomitron drove round to the first hazard at the beginning of the day in rear wheel drive.. 3 hazards later i'm drivin it back onto the trailer in front wheel drive. blew a rear driveshaft uni (a lux one.. ) on a hazard where i was tryin to stomp it to stay on wheels rather than roof.

so that was my day.

I stopped (or is that detoured) to the Oxford tavern on the way home to watch the end of the rugby, strangely enough they sold speights there and although I was travelling alone I thought it would be rude not to indulge at least for one or two with the locals and watch WALES WIN

I wished I could of driven or even been there. God knows I need the practice. But family came first today.
But couldn't have my buggy on a Sheffield day parked in the garage.
Ash driving and his bro Andy co driving? What a team! They've been four by four pedaling most of their lives thanks to their late Dad. I wasn't surprised to here they came 4th in their class.

Keep the pix coming guys. I'm loving em..

Nibs, sorry to hear the rear drive shaft failed. But you'll be there next year i bet.
Tim, you got a new rig to get used to. You'll get the hang of it. And yep, it sounds mean the last time I heard it.

More pix, more vids please.
I'd love to see pix of my bros fj40. he tells me mud in the clutch plate put him on the trailer. Get an auto bro.

bugger it was a competition and i didn't realise , most thought it was a fun day....including the organisers who always make that real clear at the start of the day

If it was a fun day......I won (in my world anyway), if it was a comp then well down the list
The Mrs is very pleased with the prize I chose for her tho, got her vote for entry next year

i grabbed out my mallet to help jase when we were doin his cv but then some chap i dont know used it (didnt even know he took it!) and said he put it back on the trailer albeit after we had gone back to the comp.. never offered to replace it even. stink.

so did anyone see it around and maybe pick it up please?
