Toyota vs. Nissan - offroad in Romania / Rm.Valcea

[oldcarsmaniac]

A month ago I had an idea : to convince my friends that is better to have a battle in the field in stead of having "fights" on the forums to discover what is the best : Patrol or Landcruiser ? :eck05:

So ... we decided to have a meeting in Ramnicu Valcea - Romania.

3 Days of offroading
8 cars
15 men

There are some pictures and movies:

[Woof]

WOW what a great time you all must have had......................................I just need win Lotto and I'm there, thanks heaps to the photos and videos mate.http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/ http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/

[oldcarsmaniac]

@The Dogman, as I've said before ... I think a plane ticket to Romania is not that much. Here we have food and beds for friends and ... we all have extra seats in our cars, so ... if any of you has time to spend in our country, please give me a sign and we'll have a lot of fun for you! I really mean it!

[oldcarsmaniac]

The bravest - Mitsubishi Pajero 2.8 diesel ...

Still on that little river ...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_3njGnAcz5k


@growlers71gq - The LWB is equiped with the "astmatic" 2.8 turbodiesel, a little bit "injected" with a bigger turbo an a huge intercooler. It really spins the 37's very well !

Hey, Gerard, we'll try to organise a similar "event", a Toyota vs. Nissan (second edition) in June, this year. If you wanna come here to join us, we'll be glad to meet you.

It is not a contest, just a lot of jokes about the cars. Also, you won't need money for the accomodation, because we'll try to have some boys nights, camping in the nature. The food is cheap here and the only problem I see is the long way to follow on the autobahn from your location to Romania.

My phone number is 0040745812713 and the e-mail: tavi_isbasia@yahoo.com

I'll keep you informed!

Cheers!

[rusty_nail]
