Nissan Trials 06

[henry]

Thanks for your reply Miss Wendy. After hearing the "R" word used i will stick with my original set.

[Miss Wendy]

Miss Wendy
Do I have to bring my rego papers and green slip with me?
As my girlfriend is letting me use her car and she has the papers in sydney (drummoyne) and I think i will be pressed for time to go and pick up the originals. Is it ok If I print off a copy for you?
You should also recieve a email from Mark (bw4wd) this evening with the details.

Copies are fine.

[dirty harry]

why dont you cable tie your nets on, thats what we did at wilowglen.

[Miss Wendy]

Now you've done it! You said the 'R' word. It'll be all your fault...[/quote]

I dont mind as long as you still run the holes even if there is water in them.

If we could have it our way it would be only a few small showers And
then pour from monday until woodpecker [/quote]



If it...you know what, it won't be just your truck that needs a snorkle in Wombats.

cant say ive ever tried wrist restraints, what are they like, id imagine they would be a pain in the arse, how much movement do they allow, is their a max. ammount of length allowed for comps? i could imagine them getting tangled up around the wheel and the column. ive never ctually seen a set though. where do you tie them off to?

I ran a wrist restraint in 2004 nissan trials, and they are a pain in the ass.
They are connected to the lap section of your seatbelt, so you can't lift your hand high enough to get it out the window.

Anyone want to buy some, only used once

[Hekta]

A little rain is good to keep the dust down and the flys away.

That doesn't work. Last year it was raining and the flies were as bad as ever

As an eye witness last yr i can testify the flies were bad around hektas arm pits. Away from him they werent too bad. although MY45 sat there and caught them whilst watching the mud event, and he had 20 odd in a bottle. so there was still heaps out there.

Plans have changed in our team again, i'm now Navi in the blue GQ shorty. Heading out tomorrow morning with the rest of the HiTech guys (Discovery club.)

there is good and bad about them..the good is you can get your head to the edge or past the window to see the front wheel.so sight is better than the nets which your helmet hits and you cant see s.h.i.t.

[MissDrew]

Any body want a drive?
Looks like 3rd rock now has a spare spot for another rig.
If you are keen then please pm me.

[thunder]

GUTS.shouldnt you be leaving by now

regarding a spare car to compete..i remember a few years back

[thunder]

Um yeah, well tomorrow morning anyway. But now will be tomorrow arvo/evening.
ATM I`m realigning the timing/cam belt in the hilux Yep it decided to jump 2 teeth last night when I took it for a test run. I think it did it because of the mud n crap that was in the teeth (left over from vic winch)
Still have to get road worthy tomorrow morning and renew the rego before leaving as it runs out tomorrow

If all goes well I`ll be ok and we will not need another rig

anyway got to go back to it.

[MissDrew]

I`m not in Mlebourne you idiot, I`m in NSw on the border of Vic.

Oh another thing to do now, rear diff just shat itself on the way home from getting the roadworthy

Oh and my navis`s boss is being a dick and has now said he can`t have the time off that was organised months ago

[MissDrew]

Oh and we still need another rig as Adam from SA has pulled out as he still can`t get his shorty to start and would have a min 20hrs of driving.

[DIRTY ROCK STAR]

CMON, anybody keen to fill in for the 3rdrock4x4 crew....
go on i dare ya!!!

somone must be keen!

[brighty]

OK, results?????

And what the hell???? I couldn't make it... BUT, I heard about someone knocking a tree down and hitting spectators... apparently someone had to get airlifted. Any news on who it was and how they are... the person that got hit that is???? Hope they aren't in too bad of a way!!!

Surely this can't be good for the insurance/liability side of things for events like this.

yeah, was on msn yesterday, jumped on to check outers and saw that but no outers to confirm

[Madmac]

apart from the rain it was a top weekend, well done to this nissan club, recoveries were heaps quicker this year and the linesd moved heaps quicker, i had finished all the events by 2:30pm on sunday.
ill post some pics tonight.
yes a chopper was required on saturday, a hilux hit a tree, and the tree fell on one of the macarther clubs drivers. resulting in a broken leg and other injuries, apparently the leg has been operated on and the poor bloke is OK

there is a few pics here

[Madmac]

[MjWatt]

Top work by Nissan Club for a good 2 days of action.

And thanks to the guys at Maitland Districts for letting us use their welder

[evanstaniland]

Evan..

[professor]

Sad to see an injury at an event like this hope he gets better soon.

Evan..

It was only a 2 paragraph column article, and it didn't say anything more than everyone here already knows, or anything anti-4wd.

Hope he does get better soon, he didn't look too crash hot.

And big thanks to CareFlight as well.

[CruiserCruising]

Yeh top w/e my first time competing. I thought the tracks were good to drive all though i didnt drive stages 2 and 3. As MJWATT said thanks to Troy Gill for the lend of the welder it got us thur another 3 events which was better than sitting on the sideline. Cant wait to come back next year. Well time to go get ready for woodpecker.
