BBQ05 CARNAGE
Some of us probably dont want to be reminded, but for those of you who werent there i though i had better list the carnage (there was plenty)
1. Justin understeered around a sweeping right hander on one of the dirt roads and ended up dropping about 1.5m off the side of the road into the trees. Everyone OK but front LH wheel pushed back into the body. Some good work from camo and a few others had his radius rod mounts snatch strapped back into place, and after cutting away some of his guard jsutin was able to finish the rest of the trip.
2. Grant blew another gearbox.. (poor bugger). Grant and myself deceided to go back and help out with justins car while brett continued on with the main group. About 2 mins after brett left he got the call from grant that he had fu*%#d another gearbox and needed a tow.
3. Brett blew reverse gear. See wes's photos in the other thread, trying to reverse out of that bog bretts dodgy reverse gear let go completely. Leon ended gently pulling him out forwards without too much trouble.
4. Camo did some body damage. Camo made it through the bog hole no problems, but on the way over pushed his bullbar up into the FR guard, and put a rather huge ding in his sill.
5. Last but certainly not least Leon the showman drowned his EJ22 brumby in the dam. After a few high speed runs through the edges of the water, he decided to hit right through the middle, drowning the brumby. The car made it out under its own steam, but was making some nasty noises (probably hydraulic locked)
I think that was about it. All in all another awesome weekend. Big thanks to all involved.

That'll learn you for going in a midnight mud run as a passenger in that forester...Subiwidow wrote:Carnage, my nose looks like it did a round with Mike Tyson, and the Bruise on my leg goes from behind my knee to the top of my thigh. I still don't remember a thing. But the pain is reminding me, to behave next time.
