You should bring lunch or pick up lunch at Tims. The plan is to be back on the asphalt between 4.30 - 5pm.

I will be representing the Land Cruiser contingent with the Grey TD 80 series. Hopefully I wont end up on my lid!

Ryan F. · #6 Post by **Ryan F.** » Fri Mar 18, 2011 7:13 pm

I am also planning to join in on the fun Sunday. Forecast is Sun and Mud..

Shaping up to be a good sized group! As Ryan mentioned, the weather is suppose to be clear and sunny so it should be a good opportunity to get out and enjoy.

I like diesel 80's... Did I get the model right?

StuartL · #8 Post by **StuartL** » Fri Mar 18, 2011 8:14 pm

I am planning on attending also in my 110.

It's been so long I can't remember what channel we use on VHF, please let me know. I assume channel 5 on CB

See you Sunday :lol:

Close- I have an HDJ- Turbo direct injected
HZJ= Naturally aspirated indirect injected
Both 4.2 litre displacement.
Interestingly, the HZ series diesel is the oldest motor Toyota still produces, Lots of very big forklifts and mine trucks are so equipped.

80 = Left hand drive 81= RHD Japanese spec.

Almost as confusing as Roverspeak!

Stuart, the VHF freq. is 146.460 and the CB channel is typically 4.

You want confusing, try sorting out Unimog model designations...

I just noticed someone has edited my post, "Shad & Cam" is not what I wrote.....! Are we able to edit other's posts?

Dave_F · #12 Post by **Dave_F** » Fri Mar 18, 2011 11:51 pm

I thought you wrote Cad & Sham..... :lol: :shock: :P Probably that German guy.

TonyCarey · #13 Post by **TonyCarey** » Sat Mar 19, 2011 5:54 pm

I will be travelling unfortunately.

Bill E. · #14 Post by **Bill E.** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:47 am

So!!!
Any war stories besides the Cad and Sham debacle (did you make it home Cam without further carnage?)
P.S. The Turkey was excellent but I think Bernie's in the dog house for being late.

Hey Bill,

Glad to hear you made it home for the turkey Dinner!

We came out about an hour after you and we didn't find Cam and his water logged Jeep anywhere on the roadside (which is a good sign!).

We made it along the beach quite easily with only Glen getting stuck once and me getting a flat (broke a tyre bead).

On the way back from the beach we came along the "road" instead of the beach and had a mucky winching session in the big mud hole! Brought back memories of that evening spent stuck in the "Mog-Bog".

Just before getting back on the asphalt we did find a Toyota truck on its roof :shock: but ambulance and Fire dept were on scene. Hopefully no one in that group was too badly injured!

Andy,

That doesn't sound like an hours worth of fun but if that is what you are telling Jill then we will back you up.

Dave_F · #17 Post by **Dave_F** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 11:34 am

Cad and Sham followed me out to the highway, then I turned in to air up and they motored on...so I'm guessing they made it home.

That Jeep sounded like a 300TDi....I kept thinking that jeez my engine was louder than normal only to realize they were behind me :lol:

Hope it is not too bad of a repair :shock:

Good times, varied terrain and a great turnout of trucks combined with the sunny weather made for a great day.

Cheers

ANDYD · #18 Post by **ANDYD** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 4:34 pm

John, your right, we should have spent that hour in Tims instead of getting stuck and muddy! But us young guns just have to learn the hard way! One day we will be old and wise :wink:

Dave, good to hear Cam hit the highway louder but still moving...

Bill E. · #19 Post by **Bill E.** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 6:00 pm

Hey John I think that was aimed at us. I guess he's right though, we probably shouldn't even try to rationalize owning a Land-Rover let alone spending a day in the mud. Most people think we're crazy as it is and after travelling through little Beirut just to get stuck I'm beginning to see their point :?

sailor · #20 Post by **sailor** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 10:35 pm

Thanks guys, I had a great time and didn't roll or otherwise humiliate the Land Cruiser community (I think?) Sorry for lack of entertainment...
Fantastic weather and views- I hope to make the next trip!

- I found that vid of the Alvis Stalwart taking a dive we were talking about...

ANDYD · #21 Post by **ANDYD** » Tue Mar 22, 2011 10:09 am

Hey nice video... gotta be crazy to enter the water like that! :shock:

Good to have you along, the Toyota did you proud! See you on the next one!
