Chris

you get the zook sorted then ? was it the fuel pump ?

[mercutio]

hmm this is tempting

[icekayak]

Just for future reference...
If i had a samurai cut down from a hard top to a soft top (but just a little bit higher around the rear tray). But it was certed, wof'd and rego'd could I get away with being in A class? it has got a rollbar etc...

Classes: A - Registered and Warranted, factory hard and soft top vehicles.
“No traction aids” (i.e. diff locks manual or auto)

i will be at this one, it is the closest one for me only 250 odd ks from home , would be good to have some sort of central round of these fun trials.

vaughan

ok lets set one up, by central i assume u mean central north island?
i got some land and could host one of the rounds.

i think there needs to be more events like the laurie sanson that bridge the gap up to national events.
because its aimed at fun and newcomers, and some people still travel a long way.
i reckon a 2nd go at all the hazzards, e.g split the feild into groups of 6, score each other, and every body goes threw a 2nd time...............justa thought

[spanky]

that sounds real good , i can get use of land down this way and probaly some of the stations around western side of taupo and may be landcorp, i will chat to a few people and pm you, could be good fundraising for local schools/groups which helps in getting venues.

back on topic here

managed to rumage out my old drive shafts from my parts pile and tryed them on the truck and they sorta fit so im gonna have spares with me this round so hopefully ill do the whole day with 4 wheels driving

and im hoping my new rear axle brace prevents me from bending my springs even more

third time lucky ?

[lilpigzuk]

third time lucky ?

I thought "shit happens" comes in 3s?? Thames round is usually quite a test (a good one) so drive too yours and your truck abilities

<back off topic> Spanky/tpft, hell keen too support a round or two if you do something <back on topic of laurie sanson rounds only >

[tpft]

think all the 40,s broke somthing last round?

off topic, someones given me a avatar? shame its such a hoplessly inept looking truck

[wopass]

[wopass]

BoP club champs

[spanky]

so just to double check cause its a long way to go, for this round my scudo with half cage and harnesses and fire ext is sweet to enter? i know ill be c class with locked diff but dont need anything else?,cheers
vaughan

[tpft]

sounds fine, and a helmet, should be a good day.
bring some rain be nice too

[lilpigzuk]

Assume you have decent hooks, and make sure things like battery is secure (that reminds me ), They "should" check steering has no excessive slop, and that there is brake pedal pressure. You would be suprised with some of the shitters that have turned up in the past.

[spanky]

cheers for that ,hooks and steering all sweet ,will do brakes next week,see you there.
vaughan

[wopass]

only 10 days out... whos gonna be there ?

should be a frikken cool day ! hope theres some rain between now and then tho...bit bloody dry everywhere ! !

[spanky]

im in ,just putting a spare front diff together and ill bring some cvs just in case, and some wire to cut out my screen just in case there is a small hicup like me ending up on my lid .
vaughan

[mercutio]

i just realised that is just up the road i drive on kopuku rd to get to work

so if i do this i need a helmet hmm um i think i have one somewhere
