LET'S GET THE RIGS DIRTY IN MARCH!!!!!!!!!

Post by **ShinyDiscoBalls** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 7:56 am

When is someone going to plan a trip say in March?????

I'm getting the car fixed after my mother in law goes back to the states and will be keen to go for a run.

Someone else's turn to give it a go. I think we should leave the date and place open and get people to nominate their choice and go from there.

We really need some numbers though... would love to see 9 or 10 Ferozas carving the mud!!!!

Ferocious is getting restless.

Cheers

I would go if it wasn't so far away....maybe I should take a few days off and go for a road trip.

I'd go too ..... if you were holding it in SA.

Post by **Croz** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 12:28 pm

I'd be up for a late March trip for sure, starting back at uni on the first tho, so might be busy at the start.

I will think about some places to go... suggestions to come.

Listen Up!

Any problem with a rocky joining in the fun???? depending on location and time i keen for a run!

Post by **ShinyDiscoBalls** » Tue Feb 10, 2004 12:21 pm

The more the merrier!!!!! Rockys, Ferozas, Scats.... whatever....

But why is it up to me again to plan the trip? Does anyone know of somewhere between Sydney and Newcastle to go???

And Emma you can meet up with me in Sydney so you don't go via Adelaide again. The next one can be near woolongong.

Seeing as it's up to me again let's get it started.

Please advise the following:

1. Dates that would suit each person (please provide as many options as possible)

2. Day trip or weekend.

3. Location, location, location - let's make it north so the Newcastle contingent can come.

4. Numbers - If you have friends coming along let us all know. We want driver and codriver names, rig description and contact mobile numbers and email addresses.

Please send above information to my email address which is

bacardinoice@hotmail.com

I will then post outcome of responses.

Need all responses by the 21.2.04 so we have time to plan.

Cheers

Post by **stumped** » Tue Feb 10, 2004 2:29 pm

luv to see that with the falling numbers of feroza owners.

Ya might have to go all makes.

Post by **jabboo** » Tue Feb 10, 2004 7:06 pm

I would like to come but don’t know if I would be of any help
More like a dead weight dragging behind you.
Firstly I am new to a manual car although I somewhat have an idea what I am doing now.
I have never been 4wd'ing before so I would have no idea what to do although I would like to learn.

And my tyres are due for a change since the previous owner over inflated the tyres and has almost completely wore out the middle of the tyres :(

So ill see when it comes closer to the date. if I don’t feel confident enough I will come to the next one

Paul you legend, you are a natural born leader that's why we are letting you do it

can't wait

Yeah right!!! Everyone else is just too damn lazy!!!

Anyone is welcome but I think we should limit numbers to say 10 or 12 (if we can get those numbers) otherwise it will take too long for us to get through the tricky areas.

Stumped, XXXL80, bring it on! Emma is a definate. Rod you in?

Jaboo, get them tires and get that practice in. If you can drive normaly and do a hill start you'll be fine.

Please send me those dates and suggestions as to where to go... somewhere between Syd - Newcastle so the Novacastrians can join in. And don't forget to mention if you want a day trip or weekend.

Where's everyone else?? AJ???? CROZ???? Luke???? Dave????

Cheers

done... i'm keen! :armsup:

prefer a saturday trip, but weekend could be an option... either that or i'll just come saturday. can't do the first weekend in march, but the others are free at the moment.

apparently there are some good tracks thru the watagans, both hardcore and gentle... is fairly close to both sydney and newy. don't know the place myself tho, but there's enuf ppl on this board that know the place real well so we could find stuff out :cool:

Post by **rOd** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 1:06 pm

Yeh, Im in on a saturday trip. :cool:

Bring it on!

Rod

Post by **Duff** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 2:27 pm

Website · Post by **XXXL80** » Thu Feb 12, 2004 3:06 pm

yeah day trip is cool with me. best dates would be 13 march (sat) or 27th march (sat as well)

umm tracks... not really to sure of many tracks, been to the watagans a few times but nothing springs to mind??

Post by **stumped** » Fri Feb 13, 2004 8:08 am

Hey all, back from hols for the moment... but off again soon.

I am really keen to get into it with you all, especially as I just got new tyres on the truck... Pirelli scorpion 235/75/15 A/T's. Not expensive but seem good and sturdy as well as having reasonably agressive tread.

Anyways, I am keen for late march (last weekend), but cant commit as yet due to work and uni all being variable. I would say I am ninety percent sure I can get the saturday off to come along tho.

Catch you.

Post by **ShinyDiscoBalls** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 2:03 pm

Ok, Watagans it is. I will go buy a couple maps of the area.

First things first. It seems that the 27th is the day that most suits everybody so I think that should be the date - also looks like a day trip which is cool to me.

XXXL80, Stumped & Duff - can I get your names as I don't know them, probably not paying attention.

Also please email me mobile numbers people so I can make up a list... Emma & Rod, I got yours already.

Emma, buy a compass and a map and make sure you know how to get to Enmore in Sydney from the Gong so you can get to my place as quickly as possible. :rofl:

Sorry couldn't help that.....

Anyone have anyo ne else who wants to come let me know their details too.

Stumped - could you try and find out some more info on the tracks in the Watagans or if anyone else as been there please email me anything you might have.

Will also need a meeting point so the Sydney crew can hook up with the Newy guys.

BY GOLLY< ME THINKS WE HAVE A TRIP ON OUR HANDS!!!

Post by **ShinyDiscoBalls** » Sat Feb 14, 2004 2:23 pm

Also here are the directions on how to get there... looks like the roundabout at Tuggerah would be a good meeting point unless someone knows a better spot. Anyone know if there's a maccas there?????

http://www.nowwhereroute.com/tournsw/to ... -33.283042

http://www.nowwhereroute.com/tournsw/to ... -33.283042

Also need rig descriptions so we know who you are when you get there.

Cheers

g'day, my name is steve, and i'm a zookaholic

i'll PM ya my mobile...

Stumped - could you try and find out some more info on the tracks in the Watagans or if anyone else as been there please email me anything you might have.

i'll see what i can do, maybe a coupla of the other guys round newy will wanna come and show off their rigs and the tracks... would that be cool?

to recognise me, my zook was light blue once, now has lots of undercoat and other dodgy colour

hopefully wearing stupidly offset 31" BFG muds by then :roll:

Post by **ferog** » Sun Feb 15, 2004 6:22 pm

Paul, you suck :finger:

27th March @ Enmore in Syd not Goulburn :roll:

(Ferog's natural 4x4 instinct is to head for Goulburn, therefore it was not my fault) send me details when your ready.

Make a list of who's driving what and their names, I get confused real easy see, (no smart comments)

Post by **Croz** » Mon Feb 16, 2004 6:42 am

Hoping I can make it... what about getting the whole Sydney crew to meet at thornleigh Maccas (big carpark), just before the start of the F3? There is also a Shell servo just up the road so we can fuel up.

Then its a convoy up the freeway to the fun park.

Post by **rOd** » Mon Feb 16, 2004 4:42 pm

By the way guys, the Watagans is more of a touring/scenic drive as far as I know. Been through there a couple of times and I dont remember any challanging sections.

Unless someone knows any secret tracks up there?

How hard do you like it Rod :twisted:

I am sure the Watagans has something to accomodate you

The only really "mapped" stuff is Subaru Forrester stuff, but if you venture a little off the main trail there is plenty to keep you amused. That said, with the current lack of precipitation over the last year or longer the good muddy sections will probably be few & far between unfortuantely. There were a couple of sections that I struggled with 31" Muddies & Front Lincoln Locker & Rear LSD

Any of you Daihatsu-ers have any huge objections to a Surf tagging along.....I am an ex-Feroza owner if that counts

Been a while since I've been out & wouldn't mind taking the Surf out on some of the old hunting grounds & see what it is capable of :twisted:

Here is a few Watagan Pics for you - I have a heap more at work & if I get time I will post them.

Later - Mike H.

Post by **MJHsurfin** » Sat Feb 21, 2004 3:30 pm

One more for now - sorry it is a Zook

Post by **ShinyDiscoBalls** » Sat Feb 21, 2004 4:39 pm

Mr Hennesy.... welcome back. Hope your little tike is doing well.

Come along Mike... should be a ball and seeying as you know the area well it should be fun. :armsup:

Now here are the definates so far:

Ferog - Emma
XXXL80 - Luke
Rod - Rod
Stumped - Steve
Lay8on - Layton
Croz - Andrew
MJHsurfin - Mike
Me

Duff... you still coming? :?:

Anyone objection to the Sydney crew meeting at Thornleigh Maccas? If not what time? And any suggestions as to where we can hook up with you fellas from Newy???

C'mon people, the trip won't organise itself. Still needing mobile numbers. Anyone got a map of the area? Anyone got chains?

Limit 10 trucks... there's still room for a couple more.

Also these are the people who have provided mobile numbers:

Emma
Rod
Steve
Layton
Luke

Another question... how many cases of beer will we need????? :drinking:

Cheers

hey guys,
new to the forum but maybe keen to tag along so long as you arent offended by a student driving a 4runner, its a stocko sr5 ltd (the model with the chrome wheels) and so long as my car can handle it, im not sure on your rigs, I would be keen.

oh yeh
Maybe set up a uhf channel if anyone has one to make meeting up easier?

just a thought

Cheers
