now what you have to remember is that the pic was taken with the car above the able top jump, so it doesn't look as high 😉
and due to the bad landing, this is what the car left on the track

Unfortunately I had too many things going on, and didn't really have the time. I did finally get my old motorbike sold though🙂
Oh well, maybe next time. Looks like you guys had heaps of fun 😀

I only hope that there is NEVER an injury at these events as as far as i know i don,t believe there is any insurance .Now being an orginized event some body MUST except recponceibility for such an event and this stage i would consider this to fall back onthe land owner .Now i know this is all fun but please be carefull with running this event as if there is an accident it could endanger alot mre than a few egCar Events Aus Wide

this is the attitude that is screwing up events australia wide...time people took responsability for their own actions instead of trying to sue anyone that happened to be around them when they did dumb stuff.
Looks like a great day! Someone should host one in NSW!
😀If it aint broke,
Make it go faster!!
Nic thats was my jump, john did a larger one earlier on, but we didn't get a photo on my camera. he landed right infront of the berm in the background and just straight over that too!!!!!!
I agree with secoh here. We did this at our own risk, if i injured myself that is my fault, and i hope that most ppl in the vw community are like that.

😉 that wasn't stalling, It was a compulsary time handicap, to give the others a fighting chance.....yyyyyeeeeaaahhhhhh! whooohoo! Just saving petrol for twip home??? *$2 realises she is clutching at straws here!*lol
clutching? I think that is a overstatement, more like trying to hang on to them with a pole and nothing on the end:P

:cry my first run round wasn't too-oo bad...... Just can't cope with an audience in the car... or the shame of the wire falling off,, or the giggles, or realising ur brakes were on a smoko, or a plug getting drowned in muddy water.....and, and,,,,,, look gotta go soak mah dentures now......😉
no it was good, I never made it to the middle bog hole. First time round drowned in the big bog hole, then second run tried a big jump amd killed the sump :o u did better than me!!!
you know ur car was going really well until thor got in for a ride, mmmmmmmm :alien

Yes.... was impressed with the whole jumping thing.... even though i did not get out of first gear once around the track..... to scared of the trees.
If you go to an event like this run by someone that has opened up and let you onto the property to have some fun like this.... i would not even consider any legal action.... we are all adults and in it for fun to to beat each other and do damage..... got to remember that its all fun and its your own fault if something happens and you should be a big enough person to take your own responsibility....
