Thread: Bit quiet around here lately!!

I knew that would get ya biting Stevo, good to see. I had to think up something to get the forum fired up again, and there is nothing like the Rangy v Disco v Defender v technology debate to get things happening. Anyway my car is standard,its just got big tyres on it .And yes I do own a piece of the pussy technology, to tell ya the truth Fraser will be the most 4wding that Kathryns D2 has ever done. The only time it goes into low range and CDL is when she is pulling the horse float up the drive way. You can give it a good run on Fraser if you like ,if your still thinking of a D2.

Hey Mick bring on the games

See ya pussies
Regards Justin

I'm with DRanged here, no ****** **** fitted, simple is best. I wouldn't buy a Rangie with ABS brake again (htis failutre caused me to roll mty Rangie, no power, hardly any brakes and 2/12 tom of Rangie flying down the hill isn't a pleasn't experience).

That's why I like my 87 Rangie. I could live without electric windows but got them anyway nor mirrors. But wanted armrests on my seats (something Disco's don't have bar the ES spec ones), EFI, half-decent refinement as well for bugger all price. Plus I OWN MY CAR, no banks after me

While the D2 is a bloody good package, Rangies have a diffrent feel and refinment, even the old dungas do to Discos, hard to explian I guess.

I don't care what you drive in the end, as long as you use it and it's not a shopping trolley.

hey mick, i think we were talking about this a couple of weeks ago

i was watching the 4x4 show briz 31, oh that right you guys don't get briz 31 down there, i think it was the nissian trials in sydney, they now have a new event that stock cars can enter and they had some good ideas

city view could be a good venue as there would not be track buiding required or steve's property at boonah

just looked on the net and i think it was 4wd TV that covered the nissian thingy

all events had a window of time to complete i.e. cannot do the , with max point awarded for completing the course in the correct time, this makes to equal for most of the cars i.e. the twin diff locked cars on 35" tyres don't scream throught the couse flat out

hear is a couple of ideas

- articulation/wheel placement course every time you have to stop and or reverse points are deducted
- pvc conduit with golf balls placed on a course so the driver has to position the car so the himself and or the passenger can lean out the window to put the golf ball on top of the pipe
- a small stump say 4" off the ground and you have to place each of you front wheels on top 'one at a time', only allowed to come to a complete stop once for each tyre points are awarded for on how central the wheel is placed on stump
- a plastic plate on the bonnet with an egg on it and you have to drive a course keeping the egg on the plate
- articulation ramp
i'm sure there is plenty other ideas
