More to the point how is his co driver after the swamp on stage 7.
Interesting line
that had the crowd wondering
but good result
gotta be the longest winch of all time.
Not many trucks but a great venue and good spectator points. Mustbe something about these winch guys though all nissans with one lonley crusier

Went pretty well, beat the only toyota and didnt come last. Would have been nice to have done the other stages on the last day but shit happens.
Yael recovered pretty well from stage 7... thank god for a long winch rope.

You should have done what I did and not even wire the front locker up! I'm sure that is the ONLY reason I still have cv's in one piece.
