[Robecq]

maybe it was all those lollies you ate on the way up? somehow affected you centre of gravity? hehe :lol:

[schmik]

dude u ate just as many lollies, call me during the day tomorrow if u want as i am not going to school, so i can tell you where our caravan is.. ok

[bear]

if only IF ONLY one of you guys could have done as well with my video camera as you did with the stills we'd have a decent Video up by now....

[Robecq]

If you give enough monkeys enough keyboards (or Video cameras).....

p.s that was edited on a mac, maybe thats why you're taking your time? is old bill wasting your time with his latest patch?

[bear]

DUDE i hate bill as much as you but.....you can't run vegas video or DVD architect on a mac, nor can you run half the other software i need!!!!! now amiga os (new one out now) THAT's an OS.

[bear]

grab a cheapo UV or polarising filter before your next trip, even if you have to fix it by some dodgy method (hot glue works well and peels off clean later) it's worth it......unless someone leaves a big black dot on it for an entire trip to the snow (jas and gosh take note)

[nigel]

A UV filter is cheap too, secondhand from a camera shop $10??
Photos look good though!!
Makes me want to get some skis for the buggy

Hit the ultimate buggy topic.....These guys are visiting this year (maybe).

[schultzie]

NIgel i think i know what u will be buying next.. am i correct... that is a beast of a thing though... uv lens hey... hmmm

[kaboom]

Thats one crazy mamma, but the wheels arent that wide

[nigel]

That is a photo of the ice buggy they took to the South pole.
It only went down the run way before they gave up, light winds and it sank in the soft snow
It was being tested behind a car on the beach for its high speed handling qualities. Hence the wheels.
Made by Kiren from the Williams F1 team. He does the Parastorm buggies too. They look good to.
Would be nice to have, but saving for buggy trip in the UAE. Have to get full big foots to. $300 each???
So who is coming out here????
The designer or the pilots???
If its Kiren then I want to know if my cars are still being used at Williams.

"Thanks for the notes Bear. I?ll ask Kieron (Parastorm boss) to ship a Typhoon buggy to you at Gelong to arrive at approximately the same time as we get there. We can have some fun with it .................................................. ...................... As I said in an earlier note, my main objective in Gelong is to have a go at kite surfing. However, I?d love to get out in the buggy on some of your fabulous beaches. I was in Donegal (Ireland) a couple of weeks ago ? nice beaches there also."

From Brian Cunningham. Confidential bits removed. :)

Feb 10th to March 17th I think Brian mentioned.

Better cover the buggy in plastic, I might drool over it.

[schultzie]

and if they get it dirty they can just send it to nigel and he will have it cleaned up in a jiffy.... he does have the shinyest and fastest buggy in the fleet
