Thread: where's Gordon?

As soon as he has them he will ship them I'm sure. I will be picking mine up but I have not yet been informed that they are in, so there's no way that they will be delivered just yet.

I find his lack of response to emails to be rather annoying and not the way I expect to be treated. If you can't give customers an exact date then keeping them informed might be a better business model, not just ignoring them.

Only three vehicles went down McBrides. It has been raining and Gordon was concerned how slippery it might have been so he suggested that only the vehicles with sliders should attempt it otherwise it was almost guaranteed that you'd get some sill damage. As it turned out it was not greasy at all despite the rain.

I didn't take my vehicle as my wife would kill me if I dented the thing. I went as a passenger with Gordon in his rrs. One other guy came as a passenger as well. Got some good video.

We went down the hard track from half way down and came up the easier way. No one did any damage but there were a couple of scratches on the sliders. No one got stuck at all. If I had sliders I'd go. The D4 is an awesome vehicle.

For those trying to contact Gordon.
Please give him some space for the next couple of weeks.
He has a family problem at the moment,I doubt he is taking calls.
Thanks people.
Andrew

Please give Gordon some time and compassion.He is a top bloke,as the people who just met him will tell you.
Thanks

big shout out to Guthrie who loaned me his GOE rods. These provided me with some AMAZING LIFT which is just what this trail needed as it was deeply rutted, very steep but my Disco4-V8 climbed it like a goat - with standard 20" rims and highway tyres!!!!

I was blown away and left my bro-in-law's D40 Navara (2" lift, no lockers) and his brother's FJ40 LWB Cruiser (no lockers either) in my dust!

My biggest fear was pinching a sidewall but some careful wheel placement on the rocky sections and a spotter got me through unscathed.

I am more amazed than ever what the Disco's can do with a little more EAS height and a little knowledge of what the Terrain Response system is trying to do

Over and out

For those wanting to know about Gordon,he sent me a PM today.
His mother passed away Tuesday last week,he has the funeral and everything that goes with it this week.
He says that he will not be able to be contacted until late next week.
Thanks everybody for giving him some room at this sad time.
Andrew
