My entry



Better be fun after all the work I've put in to get it going for this event

Mike

Nothing like a 4x4 trial to get you finishing off that "POS" landy Mke, I am suitably impressed Go team ORE. Pitty we couldn't get several sets of thaose hooters as a cheersquad, hey.
Pete, you still my co-pilot
Al

Yup Al, still keen to assist you.

still keen to assist you

Shit mate no need to assist, only one hand on the gear stick We are in it for the fun mate, hope you are ready to laugh your guts out.
Al

spoke to Larry today plenty of spaces left if any one wants to still enter
limit is 50 trucks and they have not got to 40 yet so if anyone still wants to enter get your finger out as they will accept late enteries you can ring him on

Have a fun day see you all there

Kev

Sorry guys little wifee not going to enter but is going to make me do the upgrades for next year?????

THANK GOD I WONT HAVE TO GO TO CHURCH AFTERALL AND THERES LITTLE CHANCE OF HER BREAKING SOMETHING WHY ITS IN THE GARAGE

WONT BE ABLE TO MAKE IT DUE TO WORK COMMITMENTS SO:-

GO ORE!!!! KICK ASS!!!!:twisted:

Only four sleeps to go . You got the Landy together Mike or you need some help Been told it's a thinking man's course, not the rip, shit and bust type. Something to think about . Only one mud hole and they had to truck the dirt and water in to make it . All those trips in central Otago, especially back of Lake Waikatipu might pay off. Can't wait, like a kid waitng to go on a big holiday
Al

Mike will be in the North Island now on his way to the U2 concert..

i got the day off so ill be out there. if anyone needs a hand or a winch bitch then let me know. will take plenty of photos otherwise.

All the best guys, I would be there with Bells on, but was already comminted to a weekend away in Aucks. Dont worry, its not all bad, I can assure you of that

Hmmm, a weekend in Auckland or a day out at the 4wd trials?? I say there is no comparrison (unless of course you are going to the 4wd rec area up there, it looks awesome on TV). Hope to see the Safari in next year.

you guys are all sooks, do you ever go in a competition? im coming up all the way from invercargill, in my falcon but...will go for a look anyway, the misses wasnt keen travelling 1200km in the safari.

do you ever go in a competition

some of us are hard core and have got the bug real bad. I would enter more if there were more. Wouldn't mind doing that Southland 24hr Challenge oneday. How do we get into that. I could get an ORE team together no worries.

Southland 24hour challange???? I like the sound of that

Hmmm 5 days in Auckland with a laovely lady, including a free ticket to U2, and also catching up with mates I havent seen in a long time, or 1 day watching a 4x4 trial. Tough choice! (well not really, give me the girl anyway!!)

Hey Al, what time on sunday dose it start???? I might be able to make it after all?????

Sounds like a "tight" course to me where you need a truck that articulates in the centre to get round the pegs . I'm going out to have fun and if that means running over every dam peg to complete the track and score maximum points then so be it. If a short wheel base LR with a competant driver cant get through it then its not a course that caters for 4wds with WOFS (not that mine has but hopefully will in the future and last time I checked making a 4wd that articulates road legal would be a non event)

Dont forget about the geraldine 4x4 trial hosted by the mid cant 4wd club on the 10th december, the day after the bbq. I'm going to try to get to it.

Competitors have to be there from 0830 to check the trucks over. Will post up tonite when I get home after I check my flyer.
Mike: Have been told the course will trick up the SWB trucks.

Dont worry, I'm sure Elmo will be following Uncle Choppers advise

Can anyone give directions?

Also the stages are biased towards LWB trucks...

hmmm it will be interesting to see how they bias things towards a long wheel base vehicle. Traditionally long wheel base do better at hill climbs and straddling holes etc Great so when the surf dies and the swb is going its the oppisite. Last event I entered I had the surf and the event favoured swb that bent in half.

Mike

Checking of trucks starts at 0830-0930. Guess the event will start around 10ish. It will be sign posted from the ashley river bridge just out of Rangioria. Old council quarry I am told. I will be arriving around 0830 so I will try and bags a good spot for us ORE boys.

Could do. The ashley bridge could be a good spot. Pick a tme.
Al
