Cruiser vs patrol day /weekend

Post by Tinus lotz »

Morning i had a pm and a phone call from some of the cruiser club guys wanting to have a stand off between us and them.
This is all in a light harted gtg style to see whats happening with different cars in different senarios
We need to know who wants to participate and where and when ...
I told them that we are not a club like them we are a forum of like minded guys that just get together :salute:
Lets hear what you guys say .....in other words ....where are we gonna play???

Not to get too technical, but for each car particapting, can we just get the following on record:

a) Suspension, standard. 2", 3" or 4"
b) Size of tyres (31", 33": or 35")
c) Lockers, none, back only or back and front

Just the bare essentials. We do not need to get too much into size of lift etc.

Then ideally the same number of vehicles from each side. This deos not have to be exaclty, but I would not want a repeat of the Classic series challege where there were 8+ Patrols, and only 2 Cruisers.
And finally, ask them where were they in June 2014 when Mad Manny aranged the Classic series challenge....

Oh Alex!
Thank you for the good giggle every now at your expense. :rolling:
Getting all technical about Nissan vs Toyota and you have the one and only "NisToyLex" hybrid on the forum.
:grouphug: We are all one big happy family.
It still makes us happy that you have chosen the right side! :salute:
We will do our best and try and make it.

Enjoy your day.
