LOGAN NIGHT RUN FEB 2007

[Turbz]

hahaha.. that reminds me.. about a month ago we made up "G- a-y Pride" and "I blow Goats" stickers on the brother p touch at work.. stuck em on a mates car...back windscreen and rear bumper.. he drives a big yellow F truck.. he came back to work after a week off, and still had the stickers on it. Man was he pissed. But damn was funny shit.

[Marshy]

Just got home. A good run (from what I saw). About 15 finishers. Not exactly sure of how many started. I think it was about 25 or 30.

On a sad note, we unfortunately had a serious rollover. A nice and BRAND NEW built 80 Series ute. I'm told that both occupants are fine, but the vehicle is in need of some serious TLC. But, as the saying goes. 'Cars can be replaced.....'

Anyway, should find out exact placings tomorrow, and post them up!!

[dirtyGQ]

carnage unfortunately is the risk you take,how did he manage to roll it ?

[Marshy]

It unfortunately was a she.

And, I'm not sure how it came to be, as I was officialling on CP3. Only heard about it through radio banter.

A blue one Marshy? Sounds like Johnny Trackabout's wife.

[Marshy]

Yeah mate, that's the one. She had Whitey navving for her. It'd be HIS fault for sure!!

[bastard]

Thanks to all involved for a fantastic night ,that was the best night run ive been on,does any one know if the young feller who lost the keys to his patrol found them and if not how did he get home..

pics ? sorry about your truck mate,what now?

[Marshy]

Sorry to hear Johnny. I wasn't involved with the recovery, as I was manning a checkpoint. But, I know Shane raced home to grab his chainsaw so they could remove the tree that was causing all the dramas as far as getting it back to ugly side down again. Also pretty sure that Darren and Starky and those guys were there helping with the recovery.

Mate, I really feel for you guys. You've done a nice job on the 80, and now it's looking like a write off. Not good news.

How's Barb feeling today? Is she OK?



(I guess I should ask how Whitey is, but.......... naaah!! )

[80lsy gq]

Thanks to all involved for a fantastic night ,that was the best night run ive been on,does any one know if the young feller who lost the keys to his patrol found them and if not how did he get home..

yes he did amid many cheers from the crew of us that were standing around about to go down the steep incline he had been searching on for an hour or so

dave

[Marshy]

Hey Bolsey!

What happened to you and Jason? Didn't see ya's at the end mate.

[80lsy gq]

we were never gunna go to the end with Jasons car..not exactly road friendly to drive on the last section of highway and the halfway point of the run was right near his house so we finished there...also i broke the engine mount on my car so it was double reason to finish there

dave

[Marshy]

Oh, OK no worries. How did you's go?

No other breakage, apart from your engine mount?

[80lsy gq]

nope...but my butt is still clenched tight from driving down the steep incline after CP 1 ..certainly feels different driving something like that in my daily driver compared to harder stuff in the buggy

dave

[bastard]

THANKS AGAIN TO SHANE & JULIE & ALL THE HELPERS . GOOD RUN

[rvh96]

was our first logan nite run and we had a ball. thank you to all involved

[MUMS 4X4]

Thanks to all who helped recover my vehicle it was much appreciated.

Special thanks to Shane S, Whitey, Starky and Darren and also the Barcode boys who hung around to make sure we got out safely.

And an EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS to Will and Cass for getting out of bed to come and get us and also the TJM boy's for the use of their trailer.

And to let you know it was not Whitey's navvying or my driving that was at fault. We had a mechanical problem which locked my steering. The car is salvageable and I am hoping to be back on the road soon.

Up until that point I had lots of fun and thought it was a great night and would love to do another night run.

Godd to hear you're OK Barb.

My comment about Whitey was only in jest. He knows what I'm like, and trust me, he gives more than he gets. Sorry if it sounded like I was blaming him.

I'm glad the truck's looking salvagable, and we hope to see you on a few more runs real soon.

Thats the spirit, good on ya Barb

[stinger]

Barb,
Glad to hear you are okay, if need a good Chiropracter I know of a good one (I am involved in Health, Safety and Rehab) and know how imporatant it is to get some good help. No affiliation blah, blah, blah.

I am also glad to hear the mighty 80 is salvagable, because it means I will see it again and get some more ideas on roll cage construction considering yours is the best I have seen (and obviously works).

Hope to see you out and about shortly.
Cheers,
Dwayne

Hey Stinger
I'll be the one needing Rehab after I rebuild Barbs Truck "I reckon it'll take at least a pallet of beer to get it back on the tracks"

[BIG GQ]

Good to hear Barb is all ok. Johnny do we get to see a pic of the damage

[Toy80Diesel]

Good to hear Barb is all ok. Johnny do we get to see a pic of the damage

Even better, we will be wanting pics of the rebuild!

If you can find time to snap a photo between each can of beer....


Thanks

[BIG GQ]

.

I expected it to be alot worse. Looking at these pics I say that MUM's 4X4 will live again

Barb just tell him that if he doesn't rebuild yours then his goes in the for sale section


Johnny looks like you've got some work to do buddy
