Western Australian Rover day out |
|
Posted some pics in my gallery of our trip to the local Mundaring powerlines track last Saturday. Was quite a wet and muddy time Our group consisted of Defenders (3 of), a Disco S1, Disco S2, an LR Series III, a Toyota 80 series, a Defender 110 ute and my D3.
As this is one of the last 4wd areas left open within an hour of the city, it gets quite crowded, so we had a few onlookers for most of the trip's harder stages. I'll shamelessly borrow a description posted on the Australian AULRO site that sums it up (you can read more of it at http://www.aulro.com/afvb/showthread.php?t=29646) :

No, I was _most_ gracious, and even let him roll up my (soaking wet) snatch strap for me. His diffs had just buried themselves into the centre of the track - no such problem with a D3 8)
