laurie sanson - counties manakau - PICTURES

Post by Big-AL »

Since the MU broke down on the way to the event, i spent the day taking picture. 361 of them!!!! there should be some of everybody.

would the people who were there be interested in a cd with all the photos on it? they are good quality photos, and most are in focus etc...

the only way i can think to get the photos out to people is to post you a cd.

im not too good with computers so i might ask my girlfriend to do it, maybe anyone who wanted a cd could put a smallish amount of money towards the production costs?

i was thinking about $7.50 per cd, to cover the cd, postage, a plastic cd case (to protect it in the post) , and a little bit for my GF's troubles ;)

is anyone interested a cd with the photos?

ill try and put a few pics up online, but there is no way i can do 361 of them :P

Hi Al - great pics. Did you get any of my Mu in action? It's the camo greeny/brown one with no back canopy or tailgate.

Cheers Matt

Had a good day out, finished 14th in C class after a couple of shockers dropped me back ( didn't even get the rear wheels out of the start pegs on one of the hazards :lol: )

The Guts had a few issues that arose, i bent the fan shroud into the fan hitting the mud to hard and bulldozing a tidal wave of mud infront of me, the starter motor started to play games working when it felt like it, and the rear shocks decided they were way to old for the way they were getting treated and decided to dump their oil. Not a biggy as it's in for a major overhaul over the next couple of weeks.

Awesome event, its the best driving practise out their, thanks heaps to the counties guys for a good day out :D :D

Trying to decided which round i should take The 50 to this year for a laugh
:D
