Not sure if i'm going yet......

I have a Mike Wolfe challenge sticker on the back of my truck from Si's ownership. Is there anywhere that gives a bit of history?
I have 3 x 1st place (xtreme) Trophy's sitting on my cupboard.... is that History!
-
I'D love to take part but .... 1, all cars here are fitted with winter/snow tyre's 2, i'll be out on my Quad in the snow....... 3, i don't own (thank god) a land rover!
i will send a picture of me Towing one out with my quad if i can find one stuck!!! -

Ill be there if theres no minimum weight limit
Dont see why there should be a "minimum" weight limit? if the other entry's can get there weight down thats there problem! i dont see why you should be worried about your weight as your happy to go up against what enters!!!
:lol:

I case any ones interested from their blog...
Cant see myself being there this time....
I'm not planning on going in 2011 either!

I personally do not believe for a moment the prize will motivate anyone to do it. The commitment required to compete in the RFC is very great, and whether the entry is free wont be a deal breaker or maker.
Talking numbers: you are going to spend at least 5k doing it, and having free entry saves you 1k. Do all of a sudden hordes of people think were doing it? no.
It is a bit of a pet hate of me, that people say: were doing it without really thinking it through. In the beginning of 2003, there were 6 teams going. There was a plan to have 2 40 feet containers loaded up with 6 cars, and the whole thing would actually be quite affordable. The week before the ship was about to leave, there were me and Bucky left who were going. Then Bucky decided he couldnt make it, and yes there we were: me and my mate mark in our landy were going.
I do wonder whether all these people were ever really planning to go?
It is a big undertaking and I made the decission with christmas 2002, to go in november 2003. This gave me 10 months to organize it (I had to prepare the car as well). It happenned eventually, but in the end it was still the usual chaos (to get ready).
Still, It is by far the best thing I ever did, and all uk events put together quite frankly cant hold a candle to it, and as a result I can say: it was worth every penny.
Daan
Daan, Mate YES we would have gone! i took part in the Borneo safari event last year.... yes i was only with the recoverey team. I know the RFC event and i'd liked to have tried it! and i know we would not have turned it down if offered! But i would NOT pay to eneter the Borneo Safari as there is not enough comp driving time for me! but if people want a great adventure then they SHOULD GO as you will never forget the trip!!!
-
Time-wise it was still okay, but the expense we can all appreciate. Just wondered if those down the line were ever given the choice?
in all fairness its a bit late to be wondering about it
Dont think it was ever passed down the line??? as Dan and i would have gone! Free entry to a very big over sea's event is not to be over looked!
-
This is the first year i won't be able to make it! i've entered for the last 4 years! still one 2nd place and three 1st place's are enough!
i let somebody else win this year! :P -
Is that green Disco in the 1st pic the one that used to be owned by a Bryn someone? On 101 axles I think?
I think it's Chris Jones old Disco? Simon... I remember it from Mamby and Tay teamed up with Bathtub!

teslo,
We will also be taking the event very seriously, well for the first five minutes after which we will get lost, charge about the Romanian woods until stupid o'clock in the morning, then break some thing, hit a tree, roll etc and then repeat this process for the next five days... so looking forward to it
That sounds about right!
it's all good fun tho! 
-
good point... still a good laugh though.
Horses for corses i suppose
But ur right about it being samey, bin to watch 3 now, by the third i new exactly where to look, mind u i still an't bin to all the sites, Personally cant see the point of all the road traveling, You get enough towing ur car around to and from events, cant see the point of paying somebody ££££ for the privalage 
, must admit the social bit at the end is nice!!Both event's are only about "the social"...... as th event's are all the same!
-
Would someone be so kind as to add J.Johnson and J.Jacques to the list. D4x4 wont let me reg. for a login. This was one of the main events I really wanted to hit before I went back stateside.
All done for you...
-
It's not as if YOU had to do anything other than sit there for just over a minute.
It is a bit offputting though, I guess that's the price of fame.
What.... James is famous!!!
-
Alex mate, the reason some of us are not there is because we are going to the Croatia challenge! Plus you will see the "Ultimate Challenge" is only Santa's with a different name....... Now if it was "the" ultimate challenge then that would be worth entering! but it's not!!! it will be the same site's with the punch's in the same place's!!!!
So why do i want to enter that? been there done that! now go out and "Win it" and move on mate!
-
well.........
What A day cracking event and a great bunch of competitors! the weather could of been a lot worse but wasn't! Thank god!
Well dont to all involved with setting the comp up! and every one who had a go at finding the punches!
Cheers Adrian! for finding the punches
and for keeping me the right way up! Also well done on your hatrick! won it 3 years on the trot now! Can you put my name down for next year?
Dan
Well Dan, as you've now entered it again......... i'll have to come over and try for another win with you mate, your only get lost on your own!!
