To be quite honest, i was worried that we were so far away from anything that resembled a road that a recovery waggon could get down.Coulped with the fact that a few people had electrical issues afterwards and of course hapless declining it lol.

Is it normal for all Blue LWB 2.8 LWB to be got out of trouble with a white 2.0 sport

I think we have a trend starting here

First Drift Now Trugga next Peter

Do we need a white sport to complement each 2.8 :?:

Hey Fuzion
Great pics I knew you were going to shame Sherman looks good on the back of the RAC wagon and saved diesal as well.
He is all sorted now and did not cost a penny this time just a bit of swearing on my dad's part lol

Thank you forkeeping myself and SS company all weekend 2. I did enjoy myself although I think I am still suffrering from the amount of Stella I consumed. (you are a bad influenece lol)

great weekend all round great to meet some crazy people and seeing what the Fronty is capable of. even if I did miss the fording but it was a laugh none the less

Hope we can sort another day/ weekend nearer Summer!!

Hey SB,

Was it just a case of unsticking the pulley, clean it and a bit of grease?

Glad it didn't cost you anything 8)

Yes i had a great time in the pub with you two, too :shock: :lol: :lol:

If there is another trip in the pipeline any time, put me down as a definite :wink:

I am just glad everyone had a good time that's what it's all about meeting new likeminded insane people, and just having fun with dramas along the way.

I will try to organise the full fording run sometime soon maybe when it gets a bit lighter.

hope to see you all again soon and maybe some more new faces!!
