Nice work Trish.

Good to see your driving Billy Goats again - it was you climbing the mighty prado last recce right?? - Not that husband of yours that holds you back...

Hmmm. That ledge on billy goats in the last pic is going to prove to be fun! Looks higher and steeper every time I see a new pic! Might need to get one of those air lockers from 4wdSupplies.com.au! Glen - do they make them for the 120 Prado??

That 3rd picture of the rock ledge is the one I got caught up on in a standard Prado. Reversing down that hill scared the crap out of my daughter. I can't wait to try it again now there is a little more space underneath.

I heard from an undisclosed source that Trish had the boys from RedArc installed some of there battery management equipment to divert large bursts of electricity to the drivers seat. When AJ gets weak at the knees when faced with a "scary" obstacle", Trish just "flicks the switch" and hey presto, the foot gets planted and over they go!

(Lea uses a similar setup but I decline to elaborate on the grounds I may incriminate myself.)

That would explain all of this weak bladder stuff, with you leaking all over the place and the incontinence pads.

Noooooo, I just get excited easily (Hmm, kind of contradicts the need for Lea to use a similar battery set up )

Well the last time "we" visited Bendleby Trish was going to drive Billygoats, until we actually got to it and the sun was directly in our face, and most of the way up was blind driving, seems Trish was happier for me to roll off the edge when I was blind driving, rather than her have to take the responsibilty.

I believe Trish also sat in the passengers seat this past weekend, but she will have a go before teh GTG thats for sure.

here is a very short bit of video going up Billygoats, unfortunately the gopro stopped before we got to the really fun part.

Shirt Orders!!

Finally we (Trish) have sent out the email with the order form for shirts!

Please make sure you read the instructions for ordering carefully, as we are a bit behind schedule with these we want to get everything ordered with the least number of hiccups possible!

As you will read in the email, it is important not only to return the order form, but also pay for any extra shirts. If people can please get their orders in ASAP that will help us with the organisation. The dedline is Sunday 26th but it would be great to get all orders in before that so we can get the ball rolling on getting them made.

A number of our sponsors will feature on the shirts

The front of the shirt will have the 2012 GTG logo on one side and Opposite Lock on the other

The sleeves will have Maxtrax and Redarc

And on the back of the shirt will be ARB

We won't be chasing people up for these orders, if you do not return the form and pay any money owing we will assume you do not want a shirt!

Cheers Andrew

You better believe it ... once I made the 500 changes he deemed necessary and sent him 50 drafts to make sure it was working properly. By the time I actually sent it I was almost too nervous to hit 'Send'.
