Thread: day trip in Ormeau

Yeah, good morning.....even if the poor Disco coped a hiding

Some good driving and two well prepared cars make for a pleasure even in the rough stuff.

Ding tally...... Dint in driver rear corner (behind alpine window). Smashed rear cargo window (tree one window nil), Bent trailing arm mount, rear prop shaft damage, massive power steering leak, bent steering dampner, plus the usual marks on front and rear diffs, handbrake drum, exhaust, chassis etc

I have been sending Mick hourly messages to get some pics to me as i need a pick me up to ease the pain of the damage to the disco .

I think the disco will get rested for the next month with some TLC and well deserved maintanence

Might go winch man for Mick next time

Pics please Mick

Didnt realise you had done quite that much damage.

The marks on your prop were interesting! Looked like it had been driving on it!

My damage seems to be limited to the marks on both axles, the front diff gaurd, The front diff pan has a dent, and a few other marks underneath.

Come on Mick. pictures....

sounds like heaps of fun, wheres the pic's

Boys boys boys Its always the quick day trips that cause the most damage. ''yeah just duck out to ormeau be home by lunch''. Thats the only problem with rock runs,they can bite back.

Sounds like fun though. Phillipe, Skiboy has an old disco he is wrecking if you need glass and bits.

Thanks for the tip, i will get in touch with Skiboy.

Very challenging creek run, and from what we know it goes a long way. Will be interesting to explore it further, but it is hard on cars.

We did get back for lunch though

Mick has sent through some pictures so they will be up in a couple of minutes. Just uploading to photobucket.

Awesome couple of hours, even if we did run into a few issues. Definitely a track to go back to but will allow a full day for it as it goes on and on.......and would seem to get harder and harder

Looking forward to pointing the mack truck up this track, although might need to borrow those 35's of yours Justin
