hahahahaha you bastard!

I finally got the car up on the hoist on saturday:

Bent bash plate (2mm from hitting sump!)
Bent exhaust mounts (minor)
Bent rear bumper reo (minor)
Auto sump is fine!

Pretty lucky considering the situation.

Geez...

Yeah lucky the panels didn't get bent... videos and photos never show how steep or deep things are either so I bet it looked a lot worse at the time

Are they moving the big ass log in the background?

We got the shovels out and filled in some holes. I drove around him and pulled him backwards. I think someone has a video of that too ;)

LOL. At least there is no footage of me getting stuck this year. I chose to do it when no one was looking.

Every one else straddled the "big arse" log.

Pretty impressive off Danger.

Bloody hell, I had one of Wilbur here but I can't find it. Got a pic of him sneaking back to his car with bog mats in hand.

You wouldnt reognise that creek bank now, it's all graded and formed up with a drain down each side. Looks like a superhighway. The one before it is smooth as well. We're calling that one Brett's Crossing. We were going to go with the Trek crossing but it didn't have the same ring to it.

I'm giving extra points to Will for being photographed in a team shirt.
