A few members had the misfortune of mechanical problems while at the gathering. Little Wes's Rocky had elec problems while on Bonz's 4wd tour and had to be towed out 60 km back to Daves place where some bush mechanics got him going again. Another
well known member had more serious problems and the good hearted members had to provide a guard of honour for the deceased. Hope the deceased is resurrected and better than before.Image Could Not Be Found
Both members were very calm about their situation and proudly took all flack on the chin

Murray
I have been soooooooooo! hanging out for this to be posted, not that I am into 'trucks' exploding or such like.
If it has to happen then it's far better that it be a 'missin nissan' than God's gift to 4WDing - yep! Oh What a Feeling - Toyota.
Thank you very much for this as I had to tow that blue puss-bucket out of
the Pyrenees a couple of years ago and didn't have a camera with me. (LOL).
Have spoken to the BONZ and he assures me that it will be renamed the Phoenix when it 'rises again' in a few weeks time.
He reckons he is going to put some Nissan LS 3 motor in it, whatever that is.

PS
See you at
the Pyrenees Bonz

Maybe a Mitsi transplant Mr Devil,
Now
mine is running nice and cool with the Visc fan back in place, think it would push that fordsan along quite nicely..

I know a bloke who has a 471 detroit motor he might sell too, ya know, the 2 stroke diesel one, they are a touch thirsty but up around the 170hp mark depending on injectors and tuning.
you know me, I'm trying to be helpful
