Not so off topic as you'd think.

Just a bit of shameless promotion for Scouts. Oh this is in Australia, SE Qld.

This weekend is Bannana BASH at landcrusier Park near Gympie, Qld. And the
27th (Sunday) will be visitors day, cost $5. Come along and have a laugh at these
tortured stock cars, trying to offroad.

Oh just wait you don't have a clue what BASH is!
have a read here

go here for more detail

In a nutshell:
Its shoestring budget offroad racing for Rover Scouts (18-26 yr old).
In short its ####loads of fun. all vechiles only allowed 2wd to make it
more fun. Lots of VW's, few pipeframes, I've seen one crews KE30 corolla
(too bad it was out the back of their den rotting), Don't know about datsuns, Think there'd be a couple at least. People like going bigger for some reason.

Events include Hillclimbs, Wormdig(lots of MUD), longcourse (car's
generally blow something on this), Night course, obstacle course
etc. drinki.. ehh, that later for the Rovers.

BASH is incurring insurance issues like everyone else, so come along and
suport it on vistitors day to secure it for the future.

hope to seeya ~ there

sounds a lot like mudmoot,i can remember seeing video of a v8 powered mini minor in deep mud.pity i'm in the wrong state,or i'd come out for a laugh.have fun.

hah cool, another Rover! and I was too afraid to admit being one myself on this forum!

yea its pretty cool, let people think we are daggy scouts , but they dont know all the fun things they are missing out on!

unfortunately I won't get to see a Bush Baja (as we sandgropers call them) silly insurance companies either won't cover us or want to charge silly amounts like 30G .. when they start losing all their customers maybe they will wake up to themselves and tell the government to pull their finger out.

wanna trade emails dude? some insight into interstate rovering would be cool.
