These are some pics of the guys who turned up for Saturdays day on the dunes at Stockton.

But firstly i want to thank the guys who turned up on saturday and i am sorry i missed you on the sunday.
I would also like to give Mike Sharp a big THANK YOU for providing the trophies for the weekend. And although QLD lost the State of origin I was happy to suport the QLD side.

We started with 12 buggies all up, with one heading off fairly early to attend another event.
Peter with the purple Austrum buggy was the only buggy that had a few probs through out the day, with a bent tie-rod and a flat tyre.

NSW were the victors in the hill climb chalange, with mick in his turbo charged 1600 manx taking the win.
with Mike Sharp a close second.

Some of the newcastle lads left the group to take a spin up to anna bay for a feed.
This little trip upto anna bay ended my weekend on the dunes, as i burnt the alternator out on the way home.

The Bronze will post some more eventfull pics of the weekend when he arrives home.

Oh and Sorry manxed69 . I failed to get a shot of you when i had the camera out, as you were off boiling water. 😎

Sorry you missed out Brian. Heard about your knee operation, hope your recovery goes well.

Was great to meet the guys from around Newcastle. We lost a few buggies from the Saturday but picked up a buggy and a beetle on the Sunday.

Heres some pics - but sorry TwoGuns only one action photo. Combination of old camera and incompetent photographer!!

Hey Jas, you missed this one from Sunday !!!

We found this lovely J&S 4 seater ripoff as well !!

On Sunday Kevin and Barb turned up in there GS Limo.

And Graham and Andrew turned up in there Beetle !!
This has been "heavily modified" for off road use !! Well actually they put on some off road rear tyres, cut the back guards away to give some clearance and that was it. This thing was amazing - it went places that 4WD's just dream about.

They did get stuck a couple of times but in general it went really well. Even managed to get some "air" - Bronze has the pictures to prove it :bounce:bounce

This is everyone from the Sunday run.

My only action shot. Mike getting air :thumb:bounce

its a 1500cc single port running a a ball joint swingaxel pan.

James's green manx is a linkpin swin axle pan with a beetle box.

My green manx you would think would be IRS but it also is a swinger.

Given that we had had so much rain the sand was pretty hard and so hardly anyone got bogged. If they did all it required was a bit of a push and they were out. It is the least amount of pushing I have ever done at Stockton.

Sorry Mick H, I have posted all the pics that I have and that have been sent to me.....actually I do have a small video, I will see if I can get that up.

Mark.
