True mate - easy tracks around 90% of anything harder .. we usually navi for everyone who wants/needs guidance and truth be told, there's a few decent little areas that people can have a lash on short, hard tracks where you can't really do any damage as such and can reverse straight out of, so there'll be plenty of opportunity for everyone ..
Safety, fun and ensuring everyone drives home (in an unbroken truck) with a smile on their dial is our priority ...

Looking forward to seeing them - I've explored a fair bit of other areas as my mate lives on Chambers Road (borders the forest), but being he's in a BT50, I don't exactly go out of my way to tackle the tougher tracks when I'm with him, so look forward to having a lash at some new stuff ...

Thanks mate,
Truth be told, they actually look really quite ordinary to me once posted (compared to the hi res image on my PC) , they loose so much WOW factor, at one stage i did look at changing the on line hosted location to improve the quality :frown:
If you ever see me on a camping trip with the forum, ask to see the pics on my notebook and ill show you what i mean, thank you for the kind words anyway.
Top stuff! Looks like you (read: me) wouldn't get far without lockers. I should have one fitted by Sep.......
Firstly Steveo.......... your not sposed to have got a locker till "after" id come out with mine fitted, that way id have gone so much further up all the tracks than you, all the time putting the extra distance down to nothing more than the skills of the driver :hpfredgeorge1: (haha-ha !)
I was amazed at how many cars did NOT have lockers on that day, some of the stuff they made look pretty easy i had doubts, but i have pics that assure me they dont, as they show "one" wheel spinning at times.
I also saw some exellent driving, and a few of the cars looked outstanding, i really liked this one.....

Not even bloke its much better that someone has a go than just always opts for the easy way. If your tyres were slightly newer this would have helped a lot. You wont have to spend a lot to make it capable mate. And im sure there is plenty of people to help you out ( i know a bloke who offered you help ) ;). It was good that you made it home safely and apart from the tow truck had an awesome day. When im back in brissy mate i will have a good check over your vehivle if you like.
