Only a few hours now till I jump in the cartel limo and get my arse chauffeured to tuff truck

Can smell the rubber and exhaust fumes already Woot woot

[DIRTY ROCK STAR]

its times like this when i know its true..
Newcastle is the best place to live!!!

[vanbox]

You haven't been far then! Its windy, wet and cold and no atmosphere at the pub. Come on, its lunchtime Wednesday!

Off to the brewery this arvo and been recomended fanny's as well. Open to suggestions again of course

[DIRTY ROCK STAR]

yeah go to the brewery.

but if you were clever you could probably camp at stockton and take the ferry over and back dude.
caravan park isnt far from ferry.
or back packers in newy.

you brought the weather down from QLD now just own up to it.

-lack of atmosphere can be directly attributed to the good folk of newy being employed and hence not at the pub.

[vanbox]

While stockton was cool, the shitty weather and lack of enjoyable vehicle (definitely zd30 country) brought us into a motel at newy, a couple of k from the brewery.

The offer is there for anyone to join us for a beer.

Most likely heading out to tuff truck somewhere tomorro.

What an just make a quick run too the tuff truck site "boring"

What would life be like without 13 odd hours of driving to get to a 4wding event

[Winger]

Just had a look at the radar and things are not looking to good for tonight they are aparently going to get some heavy showers overnight so hopefully the forcast is wrong.

[Ryan]

Madcow's loaded and strapped down to our -less than powerful- GU... keep an eye out for a slow and steady patrol and cow swaying our way up the putty

I hate to be the one that said it but it looks like the grounds are going to be a bit wet. Looking at different forcasts one said it will be light rain on and off all weekend the other said rain at night and a third one said no rain but its raining there now????

I hope it stays away all together.

Today and tomorrow has the biggest chance of rain and that is only 1-5 mm but Fri is 60% chance of <1 mm Sat 50% chance of <1 mm Sun 50% chance of 1-5 mm so I don't think it will be that bad.

I was talking about the ground being wet. Muddy/slippery not the greatest for crawling.

Ground dry at the moment. No rain worth anything this week. I'm not far from the site and if its raining in Singleton it doesn't always rain here.

[singo-26]

Does anyone know the exact location of one of these places that we can camp near TT on Thursday night? Every on keeps saying its near the pub on this street on that street can someone actualy put up the location on a map or a address?
As a group there are 4 vehicles and 7 people we are all in swags but need somewhere to go. We were planning on just camping at the entrance.

McNamara park is the one you are looking for. It is on the corner of Paynes Crossing Rd and Milbrodale Rd at broke, Not far from the Broke Shop.

[vanbox]

[mandamoo]

Anyone from the Newy Crew decided on a channel for radio yet?

[vanbox]

Had an awesome night in newy, definitely feeling it now. Not helped when bingham is in charge of buying ttc beer and comes out with "red bitter". Utter crap, paid out of the kitty too dammit! Thanks bingham.

Made it out to macnamara park today. Nice spot. Not many here though. Can't miss the new white patrol with green rooftop if your dropping in.

[planb]

some solid rigs this year.

When i left after lunch today the score was: 1st Mal in the Bushy, 2nd Campy in the Cruzer (with bald tyres), Dan in the Vit was 8th i think....

[Mr DJ]

Wahooo, pics for us web wheelers

This rig looks much better without the roof.

Keep the pics & vid? coming plaese for us less fortunate souls.

[OUTLAW565]

Thanks for the pics mate...Looks like your using a good camera aswell.

[sir_142]

Unreal weekend..... Just got home, top drives from Wayne from madfab, patrol on 49's, team komatsu and hats off to the blokes from powerful 4x4 talk about crowd pleaser.... Who won??? Placings??

[MjWatt]

once again great weekend.. hats off to the TTC Team for another great weekend.

Handing out water on Sunday was great in the heat -- a real winner of an idea!

[GU Junkie]

Great weekend and big thanks to Rick, Mal and Tony for the special welcome to my nephew Jordan who came across from Adelaide to watch for the first time.
Couple of pics he took.










"Check out the mooooon"

[ethann]

Upatrol on 49''s

Speaking of that, Is there a build up thread for that anywhere?

[Bentzook]

Hadnt been to TuffTruck since 2001, this year I was working there. Photographing all that was tuff work, I think we managed more than 7000 frames, will have to wait a couple of weeks to sort through all , see it all at Offroadimages soon. Thanks Pete

[GQ4X4]

being my first time going to TT it was a huge eye opener for us simple Perth folk!!!

What an event, had an absolute blast, managed close to 3000 images from friday, saturday and sunday...

The level of cars was excellent, and some absolute awesome drives.

The dickhead factor was a pain friday and saturday night but that was to be expected, also couldnt seem to understand why people were yelling abuse and calling drivers all sorts of names because they didnt seem to want to destroy their vehicles in the mud run just so these nobbers can yell and cheer?

Apart from that absolutely awesome, will be there competing next year for sure!

[Turbo Tonka]
