I thought it was a nice, relaxing day out. Rate it over the National 4x4 show at Jeff's Shed.....
The vendors were pretty cruisy, not on your back as with other places.

The 4x4 track was a pretty cool setup I reckon. Some say it didn't look hard, but thats for the trucks with AT's. There was the A grade boghole, and a MEGA off camber one, that claimed the rear quarters on 2 cars ( Both twin locked, & spinnin 35's & 36's. They came out saying it was pretty cool, not bad considering they were doing some extreme stuff at Warburton the day before.

I'll be back next year!
BIG.PAT
'92 Surf 2.4 TD 5 speed.
More Boost, Intercooled),

from Exploroz

fourstall2000 replied to the question

You may be interested to know that an offender was in fact apprehended breaking into a truck at the show.
To all accounts he was slightly the worst for wear when the police finally came and took him away (I was on the gate).

A few of us did the off camber mega hole a few times, first go I went in a little hard and sat the car on the top of the front left guard putting a nice dent on top & cracking the left flare :D was good fun though and we did all the silly stuff too :cool: Bloody mud what a bugger to clean off.. Did you notice the Subaru was clean as when he finished going around the course, he did a good job avoiding all the tricky stuff
Greg Smith and the Landy boys did a great job
Prior to Sunday a few of us camped over night in Warby and did Ellis & Cumberlin tracks where I managed to crack & scrape 3 flares and a door but I still had 1 good guard & flare on Sunday morning ------ the left front :roll: .
Flexi flares hear I come.... :lol:
Cheers
Andrew
