As much as I would love for the missus to get the shiny silver steed nice and dirty, I'm confident that won't happen in this lifetime . When I get back, I'll have AMTS bash plates to install and maybe I'll find time for the compressor for the first outing. End of March??
LFaR.
I've heard on the grapevine that she's already been to Supercheap, and the pink Playboy seat covers and fluffy steering wheel cover are already on, and the Frangipani stickers go on Saturday

Rob - I didn't get down there! This build is killing me Oh well. It would have to be a pretty dull trip without the best of us there
I hear you Ian. The old castle comes down in less than a month now. The demo teamhas visited the site, the plans are approved, just making the final decision on the builder then the nightmare will come alive.

you are missing out BIG time not being here, we did the easy tracks yesterday and they were like the difficult tracks were last time. Nobody had to go below 8 PSI to get out though Trish manged to put the Prado in a precarious situation that required 2 winches simultaneously to extract her safely. Heading out to try the hard tracks today, It was nice knowing you all if we don,t make it back!
Yep having a ball. Photos later
Cheers Andrew

Whenever AJ gets into difficulty or bogged its is suddenly Trish that was driving. He usually backs this up with a photo of her in the drivers seat. How you may ask? Well he says "Trish you drive and I will direct us out of this mess." (and then takes a pic) :P
Quoted from Daniel! honest!

Andrew tells me that confession is good for the soul and that I need to 'fess' up to show my integrity and honesty.
I say ... screw that! It was totally him that got bogged (big evil grin)!!
It has to be said though (mutter, mutter...don't know why) that I did in fact lose forward momentum at one point. It can't be said that I got bogged because as soon as it happened, Andrew booted me out so he could drive us out ... which was followed by at least half a dozen applications of Max Trax and a further reduction in tyre pressure to 8psi before he "drove us out". So technically ... he was the one that got bogged. I maintain that if I'd stayed in the driver’s seat I could have done at least as good a job!!
The winch situation… well, that was just flat out scary … came over a crest off the beach, couldn’t see where the track went over the other side until I discovered too late that the track went right … pity I was veering left. I did come to a halt before the car rolled into the ravine, so gotta get brownie points for that surely?? And on the positive side … Trev got the chance to use his brand new winch and Dodgy Dave got to use his as well. So really, when you look at it … I was just providing the guys with an opportunity to demonstrate how necessary all that expensive equipment they insist on buying really is. Wasn’t that nice of me???!! Yay me :-)
