Waaaaay early, but as per the other thread, just posting up to lock in for the event at Springs in March.
I'll be entering into the gymkhana comp, as I expect a few others will also, so should be a cracker. Something we found out last time is they cater (top sounding spread too!!) for large groups, so thinking we could do this on the Saturday night rather than cook??
Any bourbon drinking comps, as I will try and enter as many as possible???? Don't worry about a caterer as I tend not 2 eat while drinking as it interrupts the drinkin :)
No comp mate, but I'm sure that won't stop people goin for a record though!!!! lmaoQuote:

He's building another, but that won't be time for event based on previous history ...Quote:

mmmm, will most likley have a winch by then as well !
I am slightly hesitant to jump right in , just knowing how much stuff can i damage when im NOT in a "competition" :o
The question is, am i going to be able to bear just "watching" you guys have all the fun ?
Nope - you won't be able to bear it ... guaranteed!!! lmaoQuote:

Haha - you'll be right mate - we're a no pressure bunch who are always happy to assist with the basics etc to get you started. Be great to catch up and should be a cracker weekend!!Quote:

I cant see me entering the competition side of things to be honest guys, even if im lucky enough to have a new truck or my old one fixed by then, any form of "competition" driving will NOT be covered by my insurance, ill be suffering 4x4 withdrawals, so could be looking for a fix (i dont want to tempt fate)
I would still come up for a play (if i have a car), or i can even navigate for someone, and i could always make my self usefull just as a the NP.com.au "photographer" for the comp.
All good mate!! Let's not tempt fate!!!Quote:
