Into the Desert

Finally got the Land Cruiser off the tarmac, thanks to Gerry and Mike who planned a trip to Fossil Rock via a quad bike rental place. They have been driving in the desert for 25+ years and have certainly got sweet desert driving skills.

It was heartening to know that while Rod has been racing motorbikes and sidecars off road for over 50 years he binned
the quad after less than 3 minutes, so I don't feel so bad binning mine about 5 seconds later - into his upside down bike.

Rod takes credit for the photos, which were all taken while stationary, it's not easy to snap away while trying to hang on to 3 tonnes of car that has got all four wheels in the air. I think Sherren is going to get a set of heavy duty shocks and springs for her birthday. If she is really good she might get an ARB Safari bumper too. I hope she doesn't get stroppy like the time she got a load of Scuba gear for Christmas.
