"convoy" ?

does this mean parked on the dunes like the Hiluxes OR does this mean one LOOOOOONG line 2 or 3 wide, as in a driving convoy ?

at 10m per landy (landy plus a gap to the next), 100 landys means 1km long line !! realistically you are looking at nearly 3km worth of convoy IF they manage to line them up 2 aside ......

Okay dis miskien 'n stupid vraag, maar wie het die vorige rekord van 348 voertuie opgestel?
If you still have blank pages in your passport, it's probably time for a road trip.

What exactly is the Hilux record. It's NOT for the biggest convoy is it?

So what would it take to get 360 Hilux'e together one day after the Landies tried it. I think it might be the quickest that any record has ever been broken in history :thumbup: :laugh2: :thumbup: :thumbup: :laugh2:

We currently hold the record for the most 4x4 Hilux's in the World, convoy will not be a problem either:

Ek het vertroulik verneem dat die organiseerders eers 'n 'Environmental Impact Assessment' moet indien voordat die ssamtrek kan plaasvind en grond rehabilitasie van alle oliekolle moet waarborg.

Die plaaslike munisipaliteit het ook verdere vereistes gestel t.o.v. spesiale waarborge vir die verwydering van alle gebreekte Landies op al die toegangsroetes, dat alle deelnemers vooraf bewys van versekering vir emergency recovery en repatriasie moet voorsien en, dat elke Landie deur of 'n Hilux of 'n insleepwa vergesel moet word....

I guess the Landy follk need to do something.
The Toyota guys have done both the north and south poles and more.
So i guess it not much of a record breaker to have a few landys in a row.... VERY BORING

The LR record attempt is going to happen on the 3-4 of March 2012 at Malonjeni Guest Farm which is situated on the R42 between Vereeniging and Heidelberg in the Vaal Triangle.

GPS Co-ordinates:
S 26 36.159 E 28 09.689

Just thought we might need this info as seeing that they will need lots of tow vehicles to tow them around the route!!! :twisted:
