butchery isnt the prettiest, and i dont really care if it looks good or not, but mums pretty strict about me cutting up the vit.

Wheel travel before and after

turning circle

ride quality

stability

overall wheelability

etc etc

hey sory camera isnt working. but anyway the flex is tons better than before, the turning circle needs a look at, it rids a little bit rougher but what u expect , when i got it back it was about 3 inches higher. the only problem i have cum across is wheel wobble and the turning surcle but he said he would take care of that

i went on a ramp and it came one inch short of beating a patrol wagon with 6 inch lift and 35s i was prety happy (seems it is a chicks car)

cheers

I know it's freedom of speech and all, but boy I thought girls are supposeto be BITCHY, not boys??.
You all have to understand that my Vit has undertaken a lot of experimental work, we startd out with a live Sierra front...then changed to Hi-Lux keeping the Vit rear as is, b4 eventually changing it too.
Eugene is NO mechanic and has achieved far more than most. Money has always been short, no garage to work in, no proper tools or anything.
So the comments about putting it back in a container and dropping it into to sea, are just not on.

You obviously have NO idea what my Vit has been thru or what we have been thru and just how much we have achieved over the years since '97. We have driven every major comp in oz, and done pretty darn well all things considered, our huge trophy collection is proof of that. I won "Best Drive on the Day" at Woodpecke2001 as one small example. We have been competing in the same vehicle remember, so of course it's not in mint condition and I'm proud to say we are also extremely well respected by our fellow competitors and 4wdrivers, so I think you should think hard and long before you shoot your mouth off, as you don't know what u are talking about.

As you may also know I have been fighting Breast Cancer, undergoing 2 operations, one major over the past 7 yrs, and still being able to drive, be it in my little warhorse, has helped hugely.

Celia, most of the proper 4x4 people out there reckon that both you and your no longer so little or so white or so wagon are tops .. and it's great to see not only a girl out there mixing it up with the boys, but doing it on a realistic buget.. makes us armchair (computer desk :?: ) experts feel like we have a chance at glory :D :!:
