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 Smile 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) :

... ,he surprised us and many onlookers on just how capable the D3 is with a madman at the wheel,sorry Gordon no insult intended there just arent many people willing to push their pride and joy like that.That group where you rescued Matt were astounded,being a group of poms there wasnt a bad word to be said.When you went up [the hillclimb] I heard the cheering and clapping 6 vehicles bak.Welldone.



Madman, moi??!!

Cheers,

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)

Cheers,

Gordon
