special thanks to all my passengers for tolerating my driving and rock and rolling [one nearly was a roll!]
i didn't take any pictures, sorry.

I've got a video of you being recovered Harry, and next time you try to get the D1 to do a flying reverse kick, give me a chance to get the camera out first! ( just gotta get the daughter to show me how to upload the video I do have). It was a great weekend and an adventure of 14hrs to get home too. I think Steph was sorry she chickened out after I showed her the photo's and video's I took. We did some more good driving on Sunday up through the creek and recovered some Pajero's up the top of Rufus Run. Looking forward to the next one.
Cheers Ian

Well, after 2 weeks we finally have a usable internet back today :). So the one photo I took on the weekend was of Camo getting pulled out of the big bog hole (sorry Camo, but I did say I had taken one :cool:).

I have a video of the trip home I'll post shortly. That was another adventure in its self :D

Cheers,

Yep note to self.. after new engine install...drive it for a few 100k's before a trip! What a place for the engine to stop in that mud hole. Thanks DJHampson for towing me out so quick!

Better get it sorted me thinks.. haven't driven the car since Levuka. Will bring it around this week sometime Grimace and see if your fault detector finds the problem.

Can't wait for the next trip.. hopefully a dry one;)

Camo

You should of swapped the rest of the car, not the engine - wouldn't have happened to a Disco! :wasntme:





....it never gets old! :p

LOL:D

The motor was out of a fricken DISCO!!! maybe that was the problem??

It all makes sense now:p

Touche' ....:D

Great photos... A bit wetter than when I was there last :D
