Hey there Dan,

long time no see...... We maybe cruising up Tomos on sat avo tryout Marks new Jeep.

My old pig hasnt been dirty for a while so we maybe going to attempt the loop,it should have dried up by now,last time (about 2 months a ago) it was ugly and had to winch and get tugged a shit load(cheers Wopass).

I'll be heading up about midday, unles dix finishes off his stuff soon after, in which case we'll delay.....

Give me a call 0274707015

Got a mate bringing me old xj for a wander, and ill be taking me new addition to give it a try out. nothing too thrilling.

when do you think you will meet at the track

xj · Post by xj » Fri Dec 15, 2006 5:10 pm

picking just after midday, after dixie finishes helping wopass move whare... apparently theres a chassis needs moving too.

CAUTION. Theres one spot there (or at least it was a few weeks back) that has become a step, with a 3inch sus lift and 31's i barely snuck over the lip.... if you aint got a lift or big tyres, it might be tight.... but then thats why we got winches

Really
hmm where is that??

xj · Post by xj » Fri Dec 15, 2006 5:16 pm

so what we got here anyway........

Me
Dix
Hunter
Toyoda (DB coming too?)
Mercutio
My #2 xj with RJ driving.

If all the above come, should we split into two groups, or trundle along together, bearing in mind that Dix and I stop at every available opportunity to take photos!!

just before the first clearing (on the left) but after the rock fall (if i recall correctly, it was a month ago, and me memory aint all that good for anything after 3 days)

Will ring DB now and persuade him

xj · Post by xj » Fri Dec 15, 2006 6:05 pm

another option may be for the group to split, one lot go in the am, and meet with the second lot in the pm.... dont get dark till nine, might be a veeeeery long day, esp if the loop road is a callin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I'm not gonna come, the trucks in need of TLC after two weekends flat out 4wheeling (busted front shock, busted panhard rod bushes, bent front tow hooks, broken exhaust....... should i go on??)

Hey, Toyoda, you should be sweet up to the top and back. You got the winch. Wouldn't go round the loop just at the mo, ya truck needs a wee bit more work before then (decent tow hooks :wink:

)
