Offroad-Express

Hey guys, names Baden, 24 and working for the Wellington Free Ambulance as a Dispatcher / Call taker. I am very very new to the off road scene, my experience spans of 6 trips around the south coast over devils gate and out to the light house, which includes getting stuck twice

I recently purchased an 86 Hilux surf, has a snorkle, Minor lift and A/Ts on it which i hope is enough. I looking forward to meeting you all, learning alot and having fun in the mud!

welcome along, keep an eye out for trips to ralleywoods, its great fun....

Ralleywoods sounds like alot of fun, Not sure if i would have the skills as yet to do it tho? I would gladly hand the drivers seat over to someone else with experience to learn from them tho!

welcome to the family

No no no, you want to ride with someone else, not let them drive your truck, theres some rougheins up there

welcome baden..

you may wanna jump in with someone else but honestly chap, theres only one way youre going to get experience off road and thats sittin in the hot seat yourself.. get advice from others as ya go but remember, ultimately she's your rig bud, any mischief that occurs will be yours to live with. not them.

now go have a ball..

***edit***

I've recently bought a Safari and have learnt a lot more while actually being in the hot seat than I ever would being in a silly seat.
There's a whole friendly bunch hiding around the Wellington region that I'm sure would be more than happy to sit in and teach you what to do

Also, Greetings!

Come on up and just park up at the hut for now, theres a track clearing this weekend and usually spare seats, will look at another welly training day soon. there should be another aka's trip soon as well.

YUP!! I believe him!! You, you cheap $lut, have spent far too much time in low company, and have learn t bad habits. This has made you into the same as them you used to persecute!!

Unreliable and a tendency to mistreat the truth.

Welcome!

And from a fellow newbie, the only way to learn is to do it for yourself!
