Good vid Matt.
Especially considering the camera it was taken on.

[mudlva]

top stuff man
cheers mudlva
ps i have to invest in a camcorder big time

[rokhound]

No cam corder there. That was all taken on a digital camera that looked like and old SLR type. Although Matt will be able to tell us exactly what the camera was, as it was his

[MATT4U]

its a fujifilm, good camera, takes good photos but lacks a bit on the vid side, no sound and only 60secs of vid at a time but still works well. can pick them up cheep second hand. good optical zoom for pics to

[cornfarmer]

Awesome video mate.
What mods did you do to the front suspension.

[gary_in_nz]

good vid there, good taste in music, that track looks like it would be a whole lot of fun if it had been raining for a week before you got to it

[niblik]

that track looks like it would be a whole lot of fun if it had been raining for a week before you got to it

in that scenario up worsleys all ya can do is sit in the ruts and use the skinny pedal.. end up breakin a lot of gear and f*ckin up the track.. sounds weird, but far more enjoyable in the dry..

I spose it takes all sorts eh?

[kiwipete]

I hear from reliable sources that we may soon loose access to Worsleys Spur.
Why?
Because the people who own the trees three are planning on removing them and subdividing the hill!
That'll mean the spur will become a propper road.
How long away this is is anyones guess tho, but do remember there is no money in trees anymore.

I for one do hope it is a long way off in the planning stages.

On a happier note, that was a grate bit of vid to watch. You guys make us mere mortals green with envy.

[mercutio]

but do remember there is no money in trees anymore.

i am not so sure about that our biggest competitor on the global wood market has just put an 80% tariff on exporting logs so things may change soon

how is that for off topic

[MATT4U]

yea in the next 5 years

[petefj40]

Changing the subject a little. This new Toyota you brought Matt. Got some pictures or video of it?? Cheers, Pete.

[cosmo1]

[H2OLOVA]

I'd love to see a factory Nissan of any description take the same lines

[rokhound]

Was that the sound of a glove being laid down Jase?

If so, I wanna be there, haven't seen a Terrano doing anything even remotely difficult before

[krawlr]

id love to see a factory toyota take the same line too buddy

whats the next vid driving over road islands

[rangimotors]

i'd love to see an unexperianced driver take those lines as well its not all the trucks mate

[H2OLOVA]

Maybe not all the trucks but it sure as hell helps. And there is only one way to get more experience aye trying to do that in a standard anything is asking for trouble.

As for crawling over road islands well thats where you get your first bit of experience. With some of the flex pics shown on here lately i think some of those trucks would struggle to do that

[rangimotors]

indeed, im sure pushing it to far is the olny way you can really find out you and your trucks boundaries, if ya don't end up on your roof do you always wonder how much further it could go..
and yea experiance aye.. hilux has gotta be ready first , pretty hard to push my lada bush hack very far..

I normally only end up on my side And don't underestimate the old Lada if nothing else they're easy to push back onto their wheels Goose used to give his one heaps and surprised a few of us

[rangimotors]

ha ha not wrong, got it stuck the other day my mate jumped out and i was expecting him to be hooking up a strap but before i knew it he lifted the back off the ground and away we went (with heaps of jandle) but thats a whole other story..

on topic *(ha ha) nice trucks and driving guys.
