GCLRO Ding Tally

[Outlaw]

awww snippy Mick :twisted:

hehe... yep i like that idea of the ding tally... but probably shouldn't publicise it too much though or people might start to think that you.... ummmm, i mean, we're irresponsible and the 4wd lobbyists already have enough to bitch about https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

So it'll be a secret tally to only be discussed and laughed at between committee members https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

See you then and all have a good DING free Christmas. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Glad you can join us LoadedDisco, will post nearer the time to confirm all details for the day.

A safe Christmas and Happy Hogmany to you also and to all in general https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Aye, Mick

Good idea about the ding tally but seriously we gotta leave Josh out of the loop so all the rest of us have an equal chance https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

I suppose he has you on a technicality there Josh. Perhaps we do need to define some criteria or simply put it to the vote. Having said that, it should be fairly obvious who at least is in the running for any award, as to date we have had smashed windows, bumpers, head lights, bent panels, some stuff Camo did to his etc so, cracked plastic doesn't really get a look in at this early stage :wink:

Of course, as this will be a much coveted award, I predict we may see some late entries from the likes of Steinzy simply driving head on into the nearest tree......that should put your fancy bonnet protector to the test!!

Aye, Mick

[LoadedDisco]

And its not just the bumper if you smash one of those little fog lamps in the bumper it costs a fortune, weeks wage. I cant beleve the price I had to pay for one of them. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Valid point.....how about entries must have cost a certain amount to fix :wink:
Man, this contest is really getting technical and a bit competitive for my Disco 8O Still, I put Camo in the lead just now after the Ormeau night run incident, with Josh a close second for his dissagreement with a tree also at Ormeau. That still gives me time to roll the puppy https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[Outlaw]

And i agree Mick... i'll add it into the next agenda as an item.

"and next on the agenda we have Steinzy's request to include his cracked bonnet protector into the running for the 'GCLRO Metamorphosis Award'... do we have any objections... motion SQUASHED 6-1"

[Outlaw]

maybe we should move this discussion to a new topic 8O

I'll stop what I'm doing and let you sort it out as clearly you seem to know what you are doing, I simply started a new topic. Feel free to edit, move my new post as you see fit.......being el presidenty and all :wink:

[Steinzy]

Nice work guys - no I am certainly not in the running for any ding award

Firstly because the misses would kill me if I broke somthing - so I would never get past one ding.

and secondly my finances don't currently support the the ability to compete for this award.


But I can assure you that I will captuer every ding that I'm present for on camera to assist with the judging.

And that I will use bush mechanics to ensure that everyone can get home I one piece.

[Outlaw]

Hey your a moderator in this forum too remember 8O

Doesn't look like i can merge the 2... did you want to repost what you said in here and i'll see if i can move it to the top of the topic :?

Good idea having this listed as a new topic as after driving days this topic page could get very busy at times but with the expert drivers :wink: in the Gold Coast Land Rover Club there wont be to much to report on unless we head back to Ormeau (Extreme Tracks).

I agree with how you have put the criteria for listing a Ding event to register for one of our prestigious awards. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

All counts Louis....assuming any breakages take place while out doing what the car was made to do and not breakages from driving to pick up the mother in law from the airport :roll: Although if that is the case then I will make sure we have a "special" award for breakages or damage whilst everyday driving:wink:

Your not the first person to ask Stevo.......Steinzy tried that one last weekend at LCMP. Sounds like you had fun though https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Looking forward to seeing you in action on another trip soon.

Aye, Mick

[x-box]

Ahhh Mick, all i can say is you missed out on a good trip :wink:
Steve did real well and the tracks were real tricky in places https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
I think LoadedDisco will also need a rear bar change!!!!
Also i think Steinzy now holds the record for mud coverage on a vehicle https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Louis

[LoadedDisco]

Well i damaged the rear bumper :cry: :cry: I thinks I was Lucky on that one :?

But I wont claim that as it is still over 95 % attached and usable. The rear light still works and popped back in so I guess I will miss out on that to. :x

But depending on the cost to get a replacment rear parking sensor if it cost more than $50.
I would like to put that in even though it is a bit lame.

[stevo68]

yes mate and you can relive it when I post the video to the link Outlaw has provided. And Mick mate you didnt really answer my question as to whether a tyre counts, I mean it had a huge dint in it https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ and made one hell of a noise. So could I have a definitive answer please, Im guessing the answer anyway 8O ,

Please see posts on previous page in answer to Steinzy's exact same question :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: but keep trying, i'm sure you can start competing if you would really like to https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[LoadedDisco]

Well,
I have got one price so far for 1 x replacement rear parking sensor and WOW $155.00. Expensive. :roll:

[Steinzy]

I think that's more than outlaws replacement Bulbar from when the Disco hit a tree :evil:

We could have a serious contender here 8O

[Outlaw]

Hmmmmmmm :evil: :evil: :evil: i paid $350 for my bar... but i should be using the replacement cost of a new one at TJM's price of some $1,300 :twisted: then the headlight, panel beating, rear bar left, rear bar right, rear left wheek arch and mud flap, drivers side sills, passenger side sills... hmmmmmmm 8O

[Steinzy]

Whoo - Calm Down!!!!!

It works out more than my $119 bonnet stone deflector & the Hayman reece tow bar cover.

But I could say that the trip last weekend cost me 2 rear air springs @ $160 each and that I stuffed 4 shocks at Landcruiser Park at a replacement cost of $220 per shock and because I busted the air springs it has led to extra wear on the compressor which now needs to be replaced at a cost of $550.

So that puts me at a grand total of $1869. :twisted:

[Outlaw]

Hmmmmm plus another $1200 to rick for my radiator problems :evil: which are hopefully fixed this time :?

Damn we need to sort out the rules of this comp 8O 8O 8O https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Alright, alright.......here's the deal, to try and keep things simple....you asked for it :roll:

AWARD CATEGORIES

1. Most amount of damage from one single incident
I would consider an "incident" to be damage sustained to the members/candidates car in question, as a DIRECT result of trying to execute an off road manoeuvre on a piece of terrain/obstacle other than an access track/road. Excluded from entry are general wear and tear issues such as, engine failures, suspension failures, drive train failures (unless an item has broken or failed DURING a single manoeuvre). Damage caused whilst on access tracks simply driving to and from particular areas are not included (unless something "out of the ordinary" happens to the car or driver in question whilst on the said road)
Final costs to replace items damaged during any incident will not be taken into account, simply number of panels/items on the said car damaged and how bad the end result looks.
Staked tyres, scratched panels, lost number plates, broken fan belts, electrical problems, are not included

2. Most spectacular incident as voted by members
This category is for the benefit of spectators/passengers only and entries can only be submitted by the said spectators/passengers and not by the driver them self. "Incident" includes a member/candidate executing either successfully or unsuccessfully a chosen SINGLE manoeuvre which resulted in spectacular damage, very lucky escape (not to be confused with "Best piece of driving"), crowd pleasing antics, or simply a manoeuvre with WOW factor.

3. Best piece of driving as voted by members
This category is for the benefit of spectators/passengers only and entries can only be submitted by the said spectators/passengers and not by the driver them self. "Best" includes successfully and correctly negotiating/executing a single manoeuvre/section of challenging terrain which a driver sets out to conquer and which tests the skills of the said driver and the capabilities of the vehicle they are driving.

4. Worst piece of driving as voted by members
This category is for the benefit of spectators/passengers HOWEVER, entries CAN be submitted by the driver them self. "Worst" includes an incident where a driver sets out to tackle a single manoeuvre/section and badly negotiates the said section resulting in a failed execution of the manoeuvre. This category includes general bad driving whilst driving to and from trips and has no geographical or time limitations/boundaries.

Sub Notes
1. All submissions to any of the above categories are to be submitted to this thread and are to be voted/decided on by GCLRO members only at an agreed date and time, where all members/candidates are present - either in person or by proxy.
2. Entries can be included in more than one category as a result of one single incident; however, the final decision rests with GCLRO members.
3. All entries to any of the above categories must be witnessed and verified by another GCLRO member.
4. Where possible, all entries are to be accompanied by photographic evidence or film footage to support an entry. This will also aid other members during the awards evening accurately asses or re-evaluate the merits of each entry.


That should muddy the water a bit. Happy to discuss some of the finer points in order to define the criteria for each award fully.

Aye, Mick

[Steinzy]

We already know my thoughts on not including tyres :evil: , so I guess I will have to look at either worst driving or best driving in a situation. Would creeping down the rest of the rock track count for that?? huh huh, maybe maybe?? 8O. Thoughts ( yeah yeah I know the answer),

Only kidding mate, but it's something I have thought about...especially as I seem to want to tackle some of the harder stuff these days. Inevitably it will lead to some proper panel damage at some point :oops:

Well Mick, Boltz and I were out having a play at Ormeau last Saturday we were all having trouble getting up a pretty steep and muddy hill. After a bit of right foot we all managed to make it up. As I was at the back of the three cars when we started off again I was still on quite a reasonable slope and had issues gaining traction which led to a snapped axle and a broken CV which then resulted in 2hrs of hand winching and snaching.

It was a very interesting day to say the least 8O

[bolts]

Not that I wanted to be in here but, took a trip up to ormeau on saturday with the 2inch lift just to see how it felt and to say that works well but in terms of sporting scores, lets say

Ormeau hills 3
Landy 0

Yes well moving on

Yeah the rain can change that hill dramatically overnight....great hill to test car and driver nerve though https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

My winch bar may be coming off soon to be replaced with something a bit leaner so will give you first refusal if you like.........good price to a fellow club member of course :wink:

[Outlaw]

hehe told you so https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ should have taken the bumper off to sell on ebay and bought a bullbar with the cash you made... too late now :twisted:

[Steinzy]

It was only a matter of time Bolts before you needed a bulbar 8O

[bolts]

Mick

Let me know when you are going ahead with changing your bar as I'm sure that by then my front ding tally will have be added. May hold off on snorkel now and sort out front bar work first then later on do snorkel as cheque book ready for that but not both. :cry:

Thanks Steinzy and Josh thought I was doing really well 4 outings no dings, then I trip on my own and 8O and 2 inch lift.
Steinzy have you got you rover back saw it at ricks last week up on hoist, did not look to good. 8O

Stevo do think I should try QPF for a repair bill seeing they keep all changing cars more times than I have hot coffees only they like fords :roll: no wonder they have to keep changing them have told them they would be better off in a landrover. :wink:

No problem with that was really wanting to be counted but thought I would fess up before next run with club as I'm sure it would have been noted and then mentioned.

Will wait on Mick getting back next week about front bar

It may not count on the clubs ding tally but it is sure counting on the home tally, nothing is said but you know the old saying"a memory like an elephant" it will be brought up when the club and I have long forgotten about it.

I like your thinking https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[x-box]

Well the only consolation to sitting here like an idiot working my petite little a&$e off, is i can't do any damage to my 'rover https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
Quite amusing "watching" you lot rattle on about damage and all, but i'll catch up shortly when i'm allowed out again :wink:
Have fun in the meantime and i'll see you lot at the show https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[LoadedDisco]

Fixing previous damage while driving on the next outing must count for Great Driving award. 8O 8O Was done in an obstacle on the training day. :wink:

I know dream on. :twisted: :twisted:

[stevo68]

Well got the beastie detailed today, and lets just say the D3 now wears its dings and scratches with pride. Bit hard to tell under all the mud before. I must admit I winced for a moment, then the pride took over, she still looks beautiful with or without its character markings https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ I cannot wait to get some proper tyres on this thing and go and tackle some muddy terrain https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ ,

Regards

Stevo

P.S. Seperate note, hung a wave thru the sunroof this arvo to I think another bewildered D3 :wink: , they may have waved back, not sure, good to see another one on the road, thats 3 this month 8O
