Are you looking for something to watch or do you have a vehicle you want to use.

If your after a look at something. The Kiwi winch challenge is on late October in Rotorua for a week. If you wanna be a marshal and have a week to spare you will see most of the more serious winch trucks NZ has to offer plus a few Aussie ones too.

Jungle

no truck ...could be lookin 4 a zuk when i get down there....any suggestions....is it volunteer work???

The event will supply you with a campsite, toilet and shower facilities and all your meals including a band on the Friday night of prizegiving.
Yes its volunteer work. There's no money in 4wding in NZ. We just too small.
You might get a free t-shirt that has marshal written on it too. Sounds to good to be true really.

Hi ya

Check out http://www.trademe.co.nz Search under "Suzuki 4wd" or similar. THis will give you an indication of what prices are. Generally people on trademe are going for the highest price possible so dont expect a bargain. Pending on where you end up check out a local Trade & Exchange newspaper. This may be you best bet.
Good luck on your search

cheers

thanx...i have an international license...but how does 1 go about insuring a car in NZ?is this what a wof is??how does the registration work?
any help?

a wof is easy, you dont have to have (insurence) but your silly not to,
A wof is a "warrent of fitness" a checkup on your veichle to make shure its legal.

edit, (insurence)

What he means is it is a compulsory, required by law warrant, that can only be obtained if your vehicle meets reasonably strict safetyand condition requirments.

They check such things as steering components for wear, structural rust, brakes, tyre tread depth, seat belts, lights etc etc.

If you do not have a WOF you are liable for an instant fine of i think $400, and the vehicle can be written of the road untill a warrant is obtained.

Yeah top work Matt4u. You don't need a WOF! What sort of help is that? Insurance is optional but advisable when you stove your $2000 zuk into a Bentley and they want you to pay. Third party insurance covers that sort of thing and is reasonbly cheap.

Registration is paid to use the roads. Around $250 to $300 per year. Extra tax if you run a diesel vehicle.

Hope that helps.

sorry my mistake, i ment you dont need insurence

Hehe, yeah, thougt that must be what ya ment.

Mind you, I have met my share of people who firmly beleive a WOF is just an optional extra.
Kinda like a cup holder, or electric windows only less functional

if you dont get caught its not illeagal

how do i get pics on this site??

Here goes...

Step 1

You need to upload your photo on another website.
I recommend http://www.imageshack.us




Okay this first step is pretty simple. Press the 'browse' button ,choose your picture and press 'open'.



Now that youve done that, press the 'host it' button

Step 2



Now youll find yourself at this screen.
You need to select the text in the top box (the one with [img].......[/img] around it). Now copy it by right clicking on it and clicking copy or hitting [CTRL] + [C].

Step 3

Now we arrive at the forum



Start your message and write any text you want above the image.
Now press [CTRL] + [V] to paste the image into your message.
Finally, submit your post and the photo should appear in the forum.


This is what the final result will look like:

little muddy on the VI

hope fully that worked.....

it was a quad trail....now its a zuk trail

working??

Thats how mud should be

cool looking rig. If you get down to the South Island then come for a hoon - we have heaps of places to play down here, and hopefully my MU (Isuzu Amigo to you foreigner-types ) should be finished.
