Jimbo
Lyn sent Al's newly converted 100 series ute up a serious incline today in a burst of flying dust and rocks that would make great viewing on 4wd TV.
Diamond Jim got up there yesterday in his Jack, in the wet, and wasn't that a show. He nearly slipped down sideways on his first attempt; scary stuff. Not to be outdone he had a second go and got there, very impressive.
Today in the dry Al sent the Cruiser ute up with a heavy right boot. He then did it a second time so Glenn could film him, and this time was an even better show. Then Lyn got conned into giving it a go and stole the show. She fairly blitzed her way to the top, engine screaming,
wheels lifting and nary a thought of backing off.
Great weekend had by all.

This thread would mean so much more to other users if we could see pictures or video.
Not wanting to be grumpy, but it has no relevance to the wider board otherwise.
Locations etc. would be nice too as Australia has a lot of hills you can gun up...

Tim,
Ever heard of things called books. They happen to sell in the billions every year. The written word, combined with an imaginative brain, is adequate for many.
Further, where it happened is irrelevant, it was WHAT happened that was spectacular.
TV has a lot to answer for. It has removed the ability of many to understand and enjoy a good yarn :(

That's not very
forum-like. I'd like to see the
gunning up the
hill and share in your fun, but can't.
If you're not sharing your wisdom, fun and experience with other
forum members in the shape of a trip report, photos, videos location or any kind of background, then why not use *email* to congratulate each other.
This is a *public*
forum for sharing a common enjoyment of off-roading. I respectfully suggest that closed comments that exclude the rest of the board are a shameful waste.

Good Luck Tim.
You got it right, this is a public
forum.
Everyone is entitled to post anything, within reason, not just according to your standards.
You may "respectfully" suggest whatever you like. There are no closed comments. Lyn has a lot of friends here who have personal (not too personal, Al's a big bloke) contact with her, who may be interested.
Get off your high horse, this is a
forum, not a court of law.
Cheers,
Jim.

Come on Jim, we need a better description of the
hill than that, what made it difficult and why didn't the Terracan attempt it ??.
Anyway, good onya Lyn.

Fair enough Jim. Sounds like lockers would have been handy on that one but then it wouldn't be so spectacular would it....kind to vehicle though

Hey Jimbo, when are you going to write that 12 volt oven cookbook to make a squillion so you can put some muddies on that terracan. I wanted to hear how it went up the
hill!
BTW, check out this thread over at 4wdmonthly. about 1/2 way down there is a piccie of someone in your Gembrook boghole - check out the bullbar too.... I reckon you got off lightly compared to the guy in the piccie.

Had a bbq with the relies a few weeks back up in the area. Took them on a soft spin on the bits we could safely go alone. I thought about having a crack at that hole again seeing as it didn't seem *that* soft or deep... commonsense prevailed very quickly of course, and very luckily so as it appears by those photos. Its a goodie alrright.
