At the end of the day everyone has to take resposibility for themselves whether they do it or not,but i must say despite some setbacks looks like you had fun

It sort of lost a bit of that fun feel as things got harder and every 100 metres was a battle ... but having said that ... I'm going back and Bek is as determined to return. Although the next time we will be much better prepared. Bek's agreed that her working 3 days a week will pay for the snorkel and winch by christmas

It's really quite amazing how much a track can change .. going from undulating but driveable to impassable. Just add 2" of rain and a crew who must have gone in mid week .. and they certainly struggled, from the looks of those ruts and churned up mud.

Yeh agreed but you still gave it a good shot just glad nothing happened to the engine.I think from here on in the tracks will dry as the rain should? start to slow down then we will complain about the dust.
Good luck on the nanga run just wish i could be there.My wife keeps telling me to be patient,but i told her patients only belong in hospitals! :lol: :lol:

Works really well. Also takes off all of those greasy smear marks where kids have bounced around loose inside the car as it negotiates particularly difficult sections of track. :lol:

Thanks for that. Really hope your boat comes in soon and the frustration ends. Got a couple of nice family oriented runs in mind .. to welcome the new arrivals

Ditto what chippy said.
Spray on, give it a sec, use a nice cloth ( i got one from autopro) rub-a-dub-dub. Very nice.
Says to avoid glass and clear plastic. So also got armourall glass cleaners to remove the window grime and overspray from the interior cleaner.

Never been one for all the car cleaning stuff on the shelves of those car shops, But the stuff sure does work well.

Hey,

Sorry but little confused about where and when you guys are meeting. I could be interested in coming along.

[Chippy Addicted PP Member Find all posts View Profile Close Chippy]

Hiya Ando ... great to hear from you.

All the details are in the Southern Sojourn thread Here

but the quick summary is ...

Saturday 20th, meeting at 9.00 am sharp - McDonalds - Mandurah Forum, on Pinjarra Rd.

22 Kms of beach run down to Preston Beach
Morning tea
Blacktop run up to Dwellingup
53 Kms Nanga 4WD Heritage Circuit
Lunch stop in there somewhere ... probably even at the Old Nanga townsite ... before entering the tracks.

Cheers

sounds good. I guess its an all day thing?

[Chippy Addicted PP Member Find all posts View Profile Close Chippy]

Pretty much so ... I reckon after play time, photo sessions and lunch we'd be lucky to be away by 4pm ... especially as we have a few vehicles to get through.

4pm!?!??

It was dark driving out after playing in the creek on the last run! More like after-6.

[Chippy Addicted PP Member Find all posts View Profile Close Chippy]

Aaaahhh ... but we're following Justo :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol:

I was going to tie a couple of diesel trucks to his back bumper and slow him down a bit :lol: :lol:

There's 22 Km of beach ... which can go fairly quickly if everyone stays above the surface.

There's 53 Km of Nanga trail ... which is suggested at 3 hours.

I'm planning for around 4pm ... knowing that if we have any recovery dramas there is still a bit of daylight around

Cheers
Chippy
