If you stay up there much longer you'll end up buying some of those fluro seat covers for the Surf
Not sure if it would be more a Nth Island thing, Pommy thing or Toyota thing

Hey Mike do you want to go have a look around Long Valley or what ever it's called. I have the owners details and can call him, pass on your details etc. I can't see me getting out this weekend. The Mrs keeps hijacking my truck/4wd/wagen/smoke burning piece of shit. :-@

Yeah that sounds good. I've asked for access to rallywoods for next weekend and if that falls through then having a squiz around there could be the go.

Could be keen. Picked up my bighorn the other day and took it straight to red rocks to get it dirty. Made it past karori lighthouse before the tide stopped us going further. Keen to see what its capable of anyway, seemed to go alright. Will upload photos when i figure out how

They have had a few people abusing the property, they allowed people to go through on their property from the goodness of their hearts and people abused it, hense the lock

Ok havnt heard back from rallywoods or been able to contact long valley for this weekend so might be next weekend for either of those.
Anyone got suggestions for this weekend in wellington? Surely it cant be that hard to go 4wding here without joining a club. Maybe a trip into odlins again and do those side tracks again and try to find that track across the river. would be good to get out and have a play.
