No stress mate - based on the result on the weekend, I'd say there will be another one pretty soon!!

And AB the Jeep belongs to Scotty's missus

[Dhuck]

Pic taken by my 5 yo boy

[Bigrig]

Top job dhuck!!!! Nice snaps mate ...

Tony - Camp Road wasn't too bad as dhuck said - a bit hairy for some of the newer faces, but they all did a sterling job in following guidance and lines, with no one really having any problem at all.

Dhuck - you able to pull more photos from the vids?? These are awesome to finally see .. only problem .. I was in front, so limited snaps of Tank (boohoo!!!) LOL

[Bigrig]

Pic taken by my 5 yo boy

Who's the good looking rooster standing on the track?? LMFAO!!

[Dhuck]

on from the top. The good looking person was my missus Scotty

[Dhuck]

I will have a look at the vids or I can bring them with me to your place and have a look.

Bec (my missus) is a tad p!ssed off as the camera was crap. It had like a 2 second delay before actually taking the pic. She usually takes great action shots.

Tony

The night shots only - once we were stopped in our tracks (so to speak)!! LOL

[YNOT]

Last time I drove club rally was on a night run as well. AWESOME track, incredibly steep with a diagonal washout near the top. One of my favourite tracks.

Too right - we had stopped to inspect the track under lights when we noticed dhucks tyre off the bead ... Very hairy indeed!!! Just love night runs though, makes it a different place completely!!

Not wrong there - and the sickening part is that the jeep is SUPER capable out of the box .. No sh!t .. With a 4" lift going on in about 4 weeks time, it will dead set be unstoppable!

[Whitewulf]

Just took the car to get a wheel align as it did not feel right and was pulling to one side. Did not get it done as its not the alignment that was out, looks like I bent the Tie rod :(

All good though as it just gives an excuse to get a heavy duty one now :049:
Just hope it does not void any dealer warranty as the wife will be peed.

Looking forward to it mate...lol

Movie is compiling as I type .. should be about 15 minutes - it's a big boy for those of you who have slower internet speeds - I seriously carved out 70% and still have 23 minutes of pretty good photos and footage ... I am praying you like it!!! LOL

Going through all the footage and photos, I have to say, I feel compelled to pack the rig and just head back up there for a week ... had the best time!!

Uploading to YouTube now boss ... sorry boss ... working as fast as my hungover fingers will let me boss ... won't be long boss ... LMFAO!!!

[Sir Roofy]

4 minutes and counting Scotty...lol

the pressure is on now

[Bigrig]

SH!T ... can only upload 15 minutes of video at a time to YouTube ... what's the crack on that??? Splitting it now ... all eleven fingers are working as fast as possible!!! LOL

[AB]

SH!T ... can only upload 15 minutes of video at a time to YouTube ... what's the crack on that??? Splitting it now ... all eleven fingers are working as fast as possible!!! LOL

Yeah they put a restriction on the video length...lol....It takes yonks to upload too...I had a 90mb video I uploaded today and it took a solid 30 minutes and that was only 1 minute of video....It's going to take a while mate!

[Bigrig]

Uploading part 1 now - hopefully won't take too long - I have high speed interent but depends on their end ... anyways, in progress ...

[Bigrig]

It's saying 106 minutes for part 1 ... sheez ...

[AB]

It's saying 106 minutes for part 1 ... sheez ...

You better get those bloody Mary's out mate....lol

[Bigrig]

Cruising through!! 75 minutes to go ... saved the movie off again in a smaller format, so part 2 won't be as high a quality video format, but is about half the size of part 1 for quicker upload ...

[NissanGQ4.2]

SH!T ... can only upload 15 minutes of video at a time to YouTube ... what's the crack on that??? Splitting it now ... all eleven fingers are working as fast as possible!!! LOL

I don't understand why considering i think the file size can be 2gb!!!!

[Bigrig]

I don't understand why considering i think the file size can be 2gb!!!!

Not wrong there - even in high quality the whole video was just over 900meg and 23 minutes long ... it should just be 2 gig gile size period ... but alas, it is what it is ...

[NissanGQ4.2]

agree with u on "should be 2gb file size period", the loveday DVD I done for Pete ( wild98 ), had to cut into 4 vids just so i could upload it, would of been so much simpler if it didn't need 2 be cut!!!

Yep - it's one of those "I just don't get it" moments ... if you had a 15 minute video that was 2 Gig in size, then we are talking picture quality that most people can't display on normal laptops and desktop screens anyway ... they'll see it, but not in the High Definition it has been saved in ... oh well, what do we peasants know ... they are the millionaires who own the site and set the rules!!!

[Bigrig]

Woohoo ... 28 minutes and counting ... for part 1 at least!!! ...

[Bigrig]

Part 1 - a bit of duplication here and there, but hey, what more could you expect from me!!! LOL


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ1VA3EYGL0

[Bigrig]

Part 2 - as said, smaller video so lower quality, but took a quarter of the time to upload. Thanks again to everyone who came last week - I hope you had as much fun as I did, and seriously can't wait for the next one!!!

Sweet mate - chuck it on a disc - I can pick it up and drop your tow point recovery shackle off as well.

[Clunk]

excellent vids guys............... was it worth the wait????!!!!! F*** Yeah hahhahahaha

[Bob]

Great Vids

[Bigrig]

Thanks lads!! Not the best editing in the world, but my head wasn't in the best place in the world yesterday either!!! I have more to add as Ryan has some footage and I need to get Nicks again as the DVD he sent broke in the post, but I think everyone gets the point that we did a truckload of tracks and driving, mixed in with a very relaxed family getaway ... It was awesome ...

[Dhuck]

hit that one on the head Scotty. Was an absolute blast. I just won't let my boy get to the video camera. His video efforts were not aimed at 4wding. Lets look at the inside of the car, oh and thats what a thumb looks like close up. But he will learn.

[nowoolies]

absolute dynamite looks like a heap of fun was had
nice size holes full of water
more vid required lol

haha ... yeah mate ... lesson learnt for Adam ... if you don't walk it, then you shouldn't drive it!!!! LOL ... none of us even knew he was having a lash at it, hence all of us running over once he was stuck!! But, if you don't get stuck, you are both not trying hard enough, and you'll never learn how to do recoveries ...

[AB]

Great video guys, loved it!

Scotty your a funny bugger, always pulling a face in every shot...lol

Top work!!!
