Well if you and Trav are so confident perhaps the Discos should get a 5% points start ?
I have been out and had a word with cheeky she says if a Rangie can do it she can do it :twisted:
And oh yer
Your mine princess :Rolling:
Gulp...

Well I have had a word with a few of the marshalls behind the scenes and I can safetly say you guys should be pleased with the comments.
The opinion is Rovernutters were one of the most organised teams for this years event. You also would have rivalled first place getters in the 3 recoveries stage (Tom was marshall there, he said you provided many laughs).
Now all this talk of two teams next year Discos V Range Rovers..... I think it's a great idea.
I think we also noted that this trip was the first that had the Rangie owners equalling or out numbering the disco owners... i think! :D
Once again, not much i can say that has not already been said. Thanks to Harry for doing a fantastic job of manager all weekend, stand out performance, Justin and Greg for leading the way, Bolts for riding shotgun in the Disco, and Trav and Camo for doing a fine job in the Dunga. Was a great (but tiring) weekend which i enjoyed thoroughly.......great experience.
Grimace and Jess.....you two are stars ;) we would not have done it without you :cool: Spectators.......thanks for taking the time to come down and cheer us on, was great to have some familiar faces to put us at ease while tackling some pretty awesome obstacles.
All in all I am proud of the Team, Proud of the Club, and Proud of the capability of the brand of car we all love to drive. We conducted ourselves exactly how intended, had fun, and drove home :)
Although I am getting confident that the disco will follow the Rangie to the end of the earth and back :twisted: be careful when challenging a Rangie as we should all know it is more down to Driver ability then that of the car. Watching Justin and Greg perform as a team was inspiring and it would take one hell of a car (of any brand and level of modification) to give them a run for their money :cool: I am just happy that i managed to stay close enough to watch, learn and follow :D
And that is what it is all about at the end of the day.....we walk away with our head up high with others knowing what we are all about. We learnt a lot over the weekend which was what i wanted to get out of the event.
Bring on the meeting so i can see some more Vids and Pics :p
:angel:Come on guys this is not preschool , everybody knows a disco is just a rangie with a bump on its head . All in all both car are great but it still comes down to driver ability
Just had a visit from a young guy that works for tjm , he's in building a disco ute as a full on comp truck , he keen to come to the next meeting could be a shoe in for the next logan challenge,
Yep had a chat with him a couple weeks back.. though the disco looks just like a shell at present ;)
As Stikman said you have to go along way to beat a combo of driver and machine. This year worked so well as each had teams that understood the machines they were in with Justin/Greg both know rangies as does Trav/Camo and stikman/bolts in the disco. It comes down to those type combination's and I for one think that's how we need to keep them for next event.
As to taking on the rangie / disco fight mmmmmm i would be sitting in middle having being a disco man for many years but now find myself looking at a rangie for my next vehicle:o,
Suitable footwear??? Do tell? The steel-capped thongs not work out :angel:
