Fun Day - at Colin's 20 June 2010

A typical wet-weathered start to the day, but all that did was put the slick on the grassy starts of the first few hazards; it did nothing to help chop up the usually swampy, usually muddy run by the dam. DAM! there's no mud was more the cry to be heard. The only stuck vehicle in the morning was Trent's cruiser
- still with springs in the front, he did not fair well coming out of the short but steep downhill halfway through hazard 3 - the springs dug in and the more he tried to steer out, the more they dug - Colin's land rover gave a series of smoky tugs from the back, and soon enough, Trent was back in the running. The only other mishaps of the day were Trent's encounter with a puriri in the afternoon session - not sure how Gavin (dad) was going to react to the damage: mainly panels (bonnet) but something might have shifted in the engine bay too (oops!). Plus there was Kate's dilemma of being a tad to short in the legs to comfortably operate Bert's vehicle - the block of wood tied to the accelerator helped for a little bit, but the situation was not ideal for Kate and she bailed out gracefully. The lada awaits you, Kate.... Here are some snapshots of what we got up to -
