You crack me up you token old bugger fitzy. A mattock is a pick, but with a horizontal blade at the opposite end of the pick. Good for road building.

The grey was running at 2750mm at 6am this morning at Waipuna . Hope the Zuc has a little bit of weight.

The Grey is fordable around 2200mm but you get pushed sideways abit

Hi Al
I dont mind Quadracer coming, but I dont think it is a good idea for people just to Tag along.
Double the trucks double the time.

Its your trip ,just my pennies worth

Cheers Richard

[albundy]

We have a drop out Richard.

[fweddy]

Just as a bit of a reference:

The couple of times I've met Quadracer, I've been impressed with his truck and abilities. He's been thoughtfully building up his unit and he's a 'clever' driver. Doesn't take undue risks but also gives things a go. What he lacks in truck size he makes up with skilled driving. Of 8 trucks on one run he was one of the only ones if not the only one that didn't need a tow, others were, surfs, safaris, cruiser, bighorn, hilux etc. he wouldn't be a tag on.

Very affable guy too.

I'd love to join you guys too but its not likely to work for me.

[Bulletproof]

We have a drop out Richard.

Hi Al
When I saw the words "tagging on" I thought others may think it is a free for all and we end up with 20 trucks.

Cheers Richard

[hosehustler]

Richard, my fault....the wording could have been better, I spoke to Al last week about Bob (quadracer) attending.
He was with us at easter and did tailings loop, etc, no problems.
As pointed out we have had some withdrawls.
Tim

[H2OLOVA]

We have a drop out Richard.

Jeez Al don't talk about Rik like that anyway hes more of a "Drop Kick"

big bar (in your dreams)
winch bitch (called John during the day and "Big John" at night
heaps of piss so i can relax for "Big John"
tree protector (so when "Big John" ties me up i don't get a rash, from the tree anyway )
shackles (for "Big John" to use)
strop (what i do while "big John is getting the shackles ready)
asorted tools including welder ( to fix h2o's truck) Just need jumper cables for my truck cause the battery goes flat when i'm welding up hilux suspension parts
toilet roll (to wipe the shit that dribbles from the corner of my mouth each time i open it)

[albundy]

NOTE TRIP DISCLAIMERthe trip list for this trip is currently full. There is a wait list should anyone drop out. If you want details on this trip and/or wish to go on the wait list PM me. If your name is not on the trip list and you show up in Ikamatua you will not be going. But you can show up and drink the good stuff with us and listen to our adventures of course.

[hosehustler]

hey rude, looking forward to catcing up again, you crack me up with the cold though
it's not too bad although last years -9 wasn't tropical but i think we'll get you outta the truck and away from the heater this year

[SMOKEY]

A big Hi to all, I have to Jump in here on the numbers attending, we have had eight members indicating that they will be turning up for the Friday trip and with Bob that's nine, when I originally spoke to the land owner I estimated seven may turn up, I hope we can get away with a couple extra and that won't be determined until a week before when I finalise things with him, I definitely don't want to get offside with him and if he says not that many we may have to go to plan B.

KEEP THINKING POSITIVE,

FITZY.

[SMOKEY]

And Yes BOB you are very welcome, . A very well set up Vehicle and an all round Mr Nice guy.

YOUR SHOUT,

FITZY.

[hiriklux]
