The entry point ...

Going to have to come up with names for each part and put up signs - because I'm an idiot like that!!! lmao
Soooo ... "Patrol Passage" is my thoughts for the track name, with names like "Dead Mans Curve", and "Septic Step Up", and "Dambuster Lane" ... obviously needs that many signs being as HUGE as it is!!!!! lmfao ...
Shed is cleaned up and ready to roll also - figure two trucks side by side inside it, one in the hoist, and as many as people want on the concrete out front ...
For those staying over, don't forget a tent, your camper, a swag, or whatever - I think there's about a dozen camping the night not including my brood ... so bacon and eggs Sunday morning it is I reckon - Chris (MudDonk), you're on brekky duty again old mate seeing as you and your lad cooked up a storm last time!!! lol

Maybe people could pipe up now with any specialist tools they know they'll require tomorrow that they don't have?
I don't have a lot of specialised stuff, but do have some - because I figure every project justifies a new toy :-) - and am prepared to bring along identified toys - I guess there would be others.
Good idea mate - I did mention in one of the texts to bring tools (specialist style) but don't want people going to too much trouble either ...Quote:

Morning all,
Good luck with the working bee, bbq and other frivolities.
Hope its a good day and you guys actually get some work done, I wish I was there.
Mark
well, I'm awake and breakfasted, shortly will be on my way :-)
Once I finish my cuppa and get out of my jamies and into something more suitable, I guess :-)
hi Tim and Scotty, is this stuff that Nissannewby mentions what you are after? I understand he is comingQuote:

Thanks Scotty and forumites, had a ball, parted with some treasures free to a good home, and acquired some back either free to good home or reasonably priced.
Interesting watching what people were doing to their Trolls, and Hiluxes, and ?? Learned a few things, and was able to add confusion from time to time with dodgy advice :-). Nah. just kidding - all the advice I provided and all that I heard was of the best quality the giver could manage. That's what a forum like this is about, I reckon. Share experience and knowledge in a polite and friendly way, and we all move forward. Magnificent!!
I have never seen such a short length of chocolate sludge on a slight rise create so much mayhem. Only a few metres long, but there were multiple recoveries, as well as some triumphant passages through that must have made the driver proud! What am I talking about? The so called test track. Able to submerge a 35" tyre completely, by the end.
Wet sloppy and 'orrible, yet despite that, a few managed to smoke up tyres!
There will no doubt be pickies and maybe if we are lucky, there are vids as well.
Handing over to the others :-)
Sounds like yas had a bloody or muddy ball!!!
yes a great day had by all got my service done and fitted my spare wheel spacer had a go at the "test track" bit bloody tight for you beaut GU's i think there is something fishy there someone tried to keep the good trucks out by making it tight between the trees had a bout 10mm each side of the car after pulling in the mirrors!!!!! mud mad mud did it once wont be doing it agian unless theres some trees removed and no scott i wont be using my ass that was a one off!!!
great day and again thanks Big Rig for organising it all!!!
go back to page 9 for some photos of the track - she don't look like that any more :-)
Awesome day. Thanks guys for all the advice and bigrig for organising the day.
Some happy snaps of the trucks playing in the mud yesterday that Steve kindly sorted for us ... to say that it is no longer virgin territory is somewhat of an understatement!!! lmao

Dhuck - panel realignment (both passenger doors and drivers door also)
And by the way, by realignment, I mean bent!!!! lmao
Dhuck's car currently not mobile, Scotty's car barely mobile, and Chris' car more than likely immobile after he finishes the job he started yesterday on his front drivers side CV (clicking pretty bad!!!).
We have the technology people!!!! We can rebuild them!!!! lmfao
Fools ....
Ha ha gotta laugh, go for a working bee to fix the mechanicals and now looks like you need to have one for a panel beating day! Hope the damage is not too bad, looks like you all enjoyed it.
Lmao, great shots Scotty and sounds like the fellas had a ball, so was this a workshop weekend? Are you sure it wasn't ment to read workshop week lol, Good stuff, your a legend big fella, should be more of ya
Yappa Tappa Doo
