We had three Jeeps for today's run up to Wheeny Creek...... Terry in his TJ, Jim and Aly in their JK and myself in my TJ..... We left Richmond Macca's by 8.15am and were at the track and on our way by 9.00am........... We were the first on the track with some other arrivals arriving at the first decent as we were heading off, still to air down ( a Landcruiser and a Maverick)............ We all smashed each of the climbs with ease, no winching, no snatching...........We reached the end of the track by 11.15am to have a break for lunch and a chat.... On our way out we passed the two young guys at the second last climb on the way in then another guy and his son in a Hilux getting nowhere due to an slipping and over heating clutch so he turned around to follow us out........... Only minor issue we had was Terry's left front spring popping out from the spring perch x2...... Terry fixed it easily using his hi lift jack to return the spring into position............ We finished the run by 2.30pm..... Pic's to follow when Aly whom was the photographer for the day will post her pic's up................ Stephen T...........

Will do..... Needed to stretch it's legs before the Mallee run the following week...... I did not know if the TJ was going to be ready by the weekend as stated so it was a possible run which eventuated in the end.......
