Its happening again on the 6th and 7th August.
It will be just like last years run and hopefully more numbers.
Will we get 3 101 landys again ?
Its the AMVCS winter run and the Shoalhaven 4wd club has been invited like the year before.
I am tossing up between taking the 101 or the Studebaker 6x6.
Here posts from previous year for people who want to know what its all about.

Ron,

Your gonna have to count me out this year :( - have a few things on that are taking up a fair bit of my time.

Maybe next time around though :).

No snow this year.
In fact it was very very warm for this part of the world.
Ian came in his 101 and I had a drive of a s404 unimog which was very interesting.
Some pics to follow soon.

My trusty 3.5 litre still rules.............It may be a different story next year when Ian gets all the horses eating out of the same trough on his 4.6 and a detroit in the bum.

thanks to all for a great weekend , yes i had a few dramas , the old girl felt a little underpowered on the way up to oberon, mmmmm but then the vac advance fell off the dizzy in the middle of the track . ahhhhh lucky tom was on hand and with a pair of plyers took the plastic cover off the electronic dizzy and we got it back in , she kept going with the aid of cable ties so the timing was way out
hence no power but in true land rover style it got me home after a days play
will get some pics up later
again thanks to all :):):)

Those climbs never seem to be as steep on the image as they are IRL. :(
