Not sure on his name (sorry), came in a patrol towing the trailer with the SWB Pajero on it. Got stuck a couple of times in the sheep dip, the time he nearly made it through the Pajero cut out! Think he said fueling issues. Ended up proper wedged about an hour and 3 winches to get it out.

Top day out, weather damn nearly held off for most of it too.

Three winch recovery was fun, followed by helping out rescuing a stranded Mindy & finally but by no means leastly, was pleased to be able to offer the use of Shiney tools  :icon_eek: & not just mine, but Stews as well  :icon_eek: to a Birty in need  :003:
Made my day I can tell you  :hysterical:

A great day and thanks to the guys who took the time and trouble to organise it :icon_super:

I got no turkeys and my Mitsi looked shiny but I did get it dirty - honest!  Tyres are crap for some of the grassy surfaces but I managed to get round most of it (just).  Some awesome machines on show and not just great to watch but made us all feel really welcome again. Ta!  It's got to be said that Jay's missus has got a real taste of the off road bug and didn't want to give him the keys back  :lol_hitting:
