Birthday trip.
Hey guys, been a while since I've posted but hopefully there will be more to come with Ramjet back on the road 
Turned the big 22 and decided to take ramjet up to five rocks for the weekend.
Just had a couple mates come up for it, quality over quanity. 3 patrols and a little rocky that kept up with the big boys until the end haha.
Was supposed to be a 2 night trip but a few problems arose with cars and fuel, so we only stayed the one night 
The sand was the softest I've ever seen it, even on the usually smooth it was a challenge.

A few problems with cars,
Ramjet: brake line leak, headlight, easy fixes
The dual cab Mav: carby issues/dizzy/leads and spark plugs
Wagon: nice new body work

Rocky: ended up doing the clutch just as we were leaving, good effort to keep with the big boys though.
Home now, couple coldies, already washed the sand and salt out of every nook and cranny I could.
So overall a great birthday, and a great trip!!

She's definitely no sunday cruising rig! It's at five rocks, about an hour trip out of Rockhampton in c.q.

5 rocks is a nice spot indeed so is the sand bowl for a bit of fun. The big hill climb sand dune at the start of by field last time I tried was so soft and chopped up by the big boys I almost didn't make it.
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
Such is the rule of honour.

The little rockys are tough little rigs, just need to turn the boost up a couple psi to give it a bit more grunt sometimes, definitely a good rig,
You can buy them off ebay fairly cheap, they're just window stickers, I'll try and find the link again,
Yeah the first big hill (Big sandy), it's a test for anyone when it's soft, it's where my old suzy let go. Doesn't help when you have got arrogant people speeding down and forcing you to stop and go constantly though..
