Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Guys, this rallysprint is usually a lot of fun. Also, being an amateur event, they typically make the trail of such a nature that you cannot reach excessive speeds, for obvious reasons. This plays fairly well into the hands of the Patrol.

I participated in the 2012 Rust de Winter Jamboree, and we came second overall in the "speed section", beaten only (and by about some five secons, a big margin for such a short trail) by a V8 SWB SVM jeep. But it goes to show, events like this can be nicely suited for the Patrols.

I agree with Peter, it will be nice if we can get a variety of vehicles there.

Just a reminder, anybody with some ideas for the trophy plate, please let your creativity loose.

A spark plug and glow plug for the trophy.............. on second thoughts you can leave the glow plug off............

This sound very Lekker, I will have to make a plan with tyres, Simex's don't do speed.

Maybe we should ask one of the 4x4 magazines to join. I think it should make for a good read and some awesome photos.

Maybe we should also invite the Voor trekkers with theirs wagons, the diesel boys have to feel they can beat something LOL

Klink te lekka , ek sal my 2.8 Safari bring

Shalom

Ok Gents,

Looks like it will be 20 September, but I am waiting for WOMZA to finalize arrangements and they have a meeting sometime in the near future where this will happen.

We need to see where we can borrow helmets. Entrance will be a maximum of R225, so keep that in mind. I will see if we can get a sponsorship and will try and negotiate a discount for group entry with WOMZA - so that price tag will hopefully go down.

It looks like a good mix of vehicles!

Cheers

Eish!!!

I'm going fishing that weekend.

Other wise Mister Temperley would have eaten his hat...

I should have left yesterday to make it there in time

I'm watching this thread with interest - hopefully I can join with my 4.8, although leaving for foreign soils on that evening...
