G'Day all!
I STILL don't like looking at that vid!
Very confronting,and rekindles my memory of driving up and thinkin' WTF!
Thats why I chose Matchstick Men music for My race vid....No matter how tough we think we are...Matchstick Men.
My FIRST priority was obviously to get him outa there! Quick. Never know if any fuel is a leaking!
That was a fast section of track there.Glad all was'nt as bad as it coulda been.
My Mate Fraser is a Resilient Bloke!...He will bounce back!
He'll do ANYTHING for Attention!
Look forward to future racing with ya Frase
Just gotta get ya some 12" Beadlocks! ...Baz

But you gotta admit, that sound track fit right in there!

Cool vid..I take it you didn't get hurt?

I just realised that this would have been more suited to Crash and Burn. *
Shop noobs what can I say.


Baz the roll was less violent to me then when I rolled the Bush pig.......or maybe I am building up resistance.

DrakAttack *No just a few bruises.......... and ego.

So whats the verdict, what all got broke or bent and is it back together yet?? Best of luck with it!

[bushpig]

So far still stripping it down. The rear lower left swing arm took a beating and some damage to steering box and front suspension.

[bushpig]

A bit over 3.5 months and its back on track....well sort of.
After the strip down the damage done was a bit worse than first thought but that hurdle has been passed and Tisha is back.
Everything fell into place as quickly as possible.
It gave me an excuse to bling it up...well it made sense seeing as I had to pull it apart anyway.
I took the buggy out for a test a couple of weekends ago against the wishes of the war office.
Many thanks to Steve from Aftershock who supplied me some beadlock kits that arrived about a week before I went out for a test hack.
I had not had a chance to have the beadlock kit welded in so the wheels are off and being done as I type.
Meaning I miss this months meet but the war office insisted and threatened to change the lock on shed if they were not fitted.
Now hopefully I wont be able to post "What not to do Second race meeting".

I had never before tried jumping and I feel this is a more succeesful way of getting air under the tyres than the first post on this thread.
