Rene was the first to enter and clear out some of the slush. Rawrrrrrrrrrrr....

Followed by Leo. Note Brian still trying to get his camera into video recording mode. :lol:

Next was Brian followed right behind by me. Sun visor phone cam ftw!
I was moving through with no problems, but I had to use a good bit of power, and doing that for 7km wouldn't be nice on the engine cooling. Yet alone for the automatic guys and their transmission.

And finally, me running away from the bees that the farmers irritated. I think they wanted us to leave. LOL.

After the trail, we went Gulf City to get our munch on and lookie what I came across.

There was a R34 parked up there as well. On the way out of Gulf, people was asking me, "Where they hell allyuh gone?!"

Then there was the ride to James for a wash.

Some guy in his brand new BMW decided to cut between Brian and me going down the highway. He was sticking right up against my bumper wanting to pass (but there wasn't anywhere he could go due to cars in front me). Well, who tell he to do that?? All I hear is a big junk of mud fall off my van, hit the tire, make some noise, then pitch out and hit him square on his front bumper and windshield. He should not have cut between the Black Mamba and me.

Runul....Dat was a best video! I really felt like I was in the van wit u!!! You guys had it in 4lo? Brian cut really good into the trail there IMO....

Dat porsche is owned by the son of the owner of SMJ....And some of you guys know the story between them and myself and wifey.....If I were evil and vindictive and had monster truck tyres I would run over that car in a heartbeat.....

Anyway...I think most or the regulars would make it with ease once they have the proper tyres but we would have decimated that trail easy.....I saw some trailblazers guys down golconda yesterday just after the chicken place on d left working on a Black BT 50 and they had on there jerseys...I thought they were preparing for a run....I will have to check those guys wee....Let them doctor my surf!!!

whats the condition there now?

how abt a retake on Brasso Seco?

lighthammer · Postby **lighthammer** » October 24th, 2011, 10:33 am

Brasso seco is also a tough trail, with little room to maneuver, well at least my big fat navara had little room. When last we scouted it, it was grade 2 in the dry season with a few mountain showers here and there.

However, with all this rain we've been having, it might be a grade 3 or worse.... Only way to know is to scout it.

droppa · Postby **droppa** » October 24th, 2011, 12:17 pm

brasso is a good one, but really little room to move in there, esp if 15 trucks going in and 5 coming out, plus with all the heavy rains we had a scout will definitely have to be done there first.....

i think the SF should be scouted and then decided on how we roll.....

or we cud hit a matelot DRIVE!!!!!!!

Of course, there will still be a Side B Run on the 13th of November! but where you ask? That will remain a secret for now.. Will be reviled on either Tuesday or Wednesday..

Most likely the place we looking at will be far more family friendly.. Stay tuned for further details!

___________________________________________________

Anyone interested in going to see a mud volcano?

I'd like some feedback from everyone concerning the date for the run. We are considering revisiting this trail at the beginning of November, either the 5th / 6th or 12th / 13th.. State all the day(s) that will best fit your schedules and we will pick the day that fits everyone best.

Note that nothing is set in concrete as yet, a scouting run will need to be done to ensure the trail is drivable and only then this run will be confirmed.
