Levuka 21st-22nd feb - Wet!!

[Psimpson7]

Few of us met up at Levuka this weekend for a bit of fun.

Eric (The109), Greg (Mater), Sam and I, and Matt (Shepp) got down there on Friday night, and we were joined by Tim (longstroke) and his dad Rod, JohnR and his wife Alison, GuyG, Trav (Aquarangie) John and mate Colin in the Shorty on Saturday morning.

Was quite wet so awesome fun. Some really challenging tracks...:o

Thanks to everyone who came and made it an excellent weekend.

I don’t have any pictures, but pretty sure there are some about. (hope so anyway!)

No breakages either, surprisingly really!!

Some really good driving,

Most of us came back via the Condamine River Road to try and wash off the mud!!

Thanks for the great weekend. Need to go through the local BP carwash now, before I try to clean the inside of the car:eek: must remember to put the drivers window up also when in mud.

Thanks to Eric for winching me on a couple of occasions, 31's just don't seem to cut it anymore:mad:

[Shepp]

Thanks for great weekend. Still have mud everywhere but am too tired to worry about it at the moment.:Thump: Thanks to Greg and Eric for the recoveries. A very demanding weekend of driving some challenging tracks.:o Definately need lockers, will have to save the pennies. :burnrubber:
Thanks again cheers Shepp :beer:

Great weekend, great company and also great array of vehicles. First time I've seen Eric's 109 in the flesh, very impressive bit of gear especially that winch :twisted:.

The dunga survives to live another day although a couple of times I was expecting a big bang from the engine after hitting it upwards of 5 grand on some of them hills.

Havoc Corner, what was hard about that :wasntme:

I knew you'd have fun after I spoke with Rob the owner before you went. I just kept saying stay home and sell the D2 and it did. So I'm glad you all had a great time without the Isuzu putting you all to shame;), but the D2 went to a good home so all is good.
