For me anyway. :) Went up yesterday and went in Wentworth with Dean, Vova and Donovan. Dean and I made a great show of not Gettin' It until my starter solenoid died (Mean Green warranty). It was about 6pm or so when we got to Ellis to set up camp. Adam Ant came in later and a bunch of them went to Bugle Lake for a quick night run. I decided to go to bed. :D

A few more joined us this morning and after re-welding Adam Ant's traction bar to the axle they departed for Buck. I decided to head home - didn't want to crawl under the Jeep every time I stalled it. ESPECIALLY with the storms rolling in. :crybaby2::flipoff2:

It was cold last night, and with the rain/snow they'll see tonight/tomorrow there should be some great stories. Better be anyway - I sure don't have any.

That's it, Do you guys know what the Tin Benders named it?

Barron named Suicidal Pride, we kind of thought it was more like Suicidal Frankinstien...

What a :rainbow: Vova the only pic. you put up is pulling my busted arse out:flipoff2: So here is what carnage I remember: I busted my front driveline, Paul lost his starter, another Paul busted a birf + his battery died, a guy in an early toy put it on it roof on his first trip to the con, Adam busted his track bar and his rear driveline, and Donovan busted a 44 front axle joint. Other than that it was a good trip. It did start to rain at 9:30pm Saturday night but it let up in the morning when it was time to go home so that was nice. We new the weather might be bad so came prepaired.
