The first event for 2013 will be on the 2nd of March, Werner will be driving Luxter this year and I will co-drive, if he gets the support i did from you guys the last two years, he will do well, so please come and support him.

Zone 7 is an excelent venue, most important, there is shade, they have a fully stocked bar and grill, but you are welcome to braai on the side, it beats watching your rugby team lose.

Ooops sorry Allan, never saw your post, thought you got busy and forgot.....

Sorry Allan to be the bearer of bad news.

Your Robertson event is on the same day as the Maskam challenge this year . . .

Hey Stefan I thought you were driving Extreme challenge this year

It seems to happen like that every year, where the 2 challenges clash...

Guys and girls please come and support Hoppy Junior and co-driver Hoppy senior. The competition is tuff, the trail is tuff, and most often there is only one or two Hiluxes driving the event. Your support will be most welcome. Come and make a day of it... It's dusty, hot or muddy, and slippery, but tons of fun... and we can all be proudly Hilux 4x4 and proudly Hoppy Junior...

Oi Val . . . Time and money . . .

I don't even have time to finish my EFI . . . .

And all my money's going into the wife's Isuzu Frontier 4x4 she just got . . .

On the other hand, maybe it's a good thing. I tend to drive like a hooligan when that 4WD light turns on on the dash

Just a reminder about the 2nd March. Hoppy I imagine Werner must be very excited and looking forward to Saturday...

Hoppy · Post by **Hoppy** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 9:43 am

Yes he is, Luxter's engine is lying on the floor, we are fitting a new clutch an doing some well deserved maintenance.

GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Mon Feb 25, 2013 9:46 am

oops. julle sal moet wikkel...

Camera's ready, batteries charged..

Dit is niks nuuts dat die engin op die vloer le net voor n challenge nie.Wat wel nuut is is dat dieselfde engin terug gesit word en nie n ander een nie.Geniet dit.

So I've checked the weather forecast for Sat. Should be hot, so bring lots of water to drink and hats, and come and enjoy the day... Who is going to join us to support our Hilux 4x4 team of Werner and Allan?

GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Fri Mar 01, 2013 9:40 am

My senuwees is op :!: :!: :!: :!: Luxter se engin le nog op die vloer langs hom.... Hmmm lyk my soos daai eenkeer toe ons besig was om Luxter reg te maak tot 2 of 3 uur die oggend voor die challenge, (ek en Mrs Hoppy het nie eintlik enjin reggemaak, maar wyn gedrink en geselskap gehou...) lyk my vanaand is weer so aand... ai, ai...

hoop ek sal nie net die hele dag die landrowers moet afneem more...

Is van wyn drink en geselskap hou dat die job tot 2 of 3 uur in die more loop...

GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Fri Mar 01, 2013 10:16 am

Nee nie rerig waar nie. Mrs Hoppy het eers na 12 uur daai aand met die parte by die kampplek opgedaag, en Mr Hoppy moes die (wat ookal vout was) na dit regmaak... Baie fun gehad, veral na ons net 3 ure se slaap gehad, en dan die hele dag foto's geneem het en Mr Hoppy en seun gery en gewen het.... Dit was of Luxter regmaak of onttrek.. en onttrek is nie n opsie nie, nie vir Mr en Jong Hoppy nie...

Post by **pietpetoors** » Sat Mar 02, 2013 4:34 pm

Was 'n lekker dag. Werner se eerste dag agter die stuur by 'n kompetisie en hy het baie goed gedoen
Ek het nie tot die einde gebly nie, weet dus nie wat die uiteinde was nie.

Ha ha, nie so goed, hy sê dit voel vreemd om aan die verkeerde kant te sit en nie die stuurwiel in die hand te hê nie.

How come Allan's door never gets dented?????

Hoppy · Post by **Hoppy** » Sun Mar 03, 2013 10:20 am

What a day! The obstacles started off near impossible and stayed that way throughout the day, i am not the co-driver type and Werner made me sweat, shake & grab, guess it was payback? Thanks for the support from the Hilux club & friends, you were awesome, (Check out Luxter's new Bonnet sticker!). O, and some of you might remember how long it took for me to win my first challenge, Werner, at 16, Won his first challenge with 70 points to spare, i am SO proud, you won't believe! ...he still has to fix Luxter's door this holiday, that he won't get away with.

Thunder02 · Post by **Thunder02** » Sun Mar 03, 2013 10:43 am

Well done guys,some of those obstacles look really wicked

Post us a pick of the door.

GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Sun Mar 03, 2013 10:51 am

Yip Allan it was a tough day. Zero was a common score on some of the obstacles. Hot, dusty, windy, and very tough obstacles. Werner you drove like a star, congratulations on entering and winning on your first day.... Allan well done for being an amazing mentor for your son, and Suzette for encouraging and supporting Allan and Werner all the way... Just had to chuckle on the one obstacle, the toughest of the day, Suzette said she could'nt watch it and gave her camera to Werner's friend to take photo's, the next time I looked there she was taking a video, brave girl... Great to see so many faces from the Hilux 4x4 club there in support.. So I am going to clean some of the dust off my camera and see if I can get a few shots on a little later...

GI Jane · Post by **GI Jane** » Sun Mar 03, 2013 10:53 am

Neil the door does'nt look too bad. Think I have a shot of it somewhere. Werner sort of rolled onto it in one of the deep trenches...

Post by **pietpetoors** » Sun Mar 03, 2013 11:06 am

Werner, BAIE geluk, Suzette en Hoppy, julle kan met reg baie trots wees.

The door got dented when Werner reversed in this ditch, I wondered why Allen don't have rock sliders on Hopster

Post by **george** » Sun Mar 03, 2013 11:25 am

BAIE BAIE Geluk.

Okay so a few photo's from the day...

A soft, sandy, very tight turn.... and just a little dent visible on the drivers door from earlier in the day, a small price to pay for the excellent result at the end of it. Maybe a case of the 'end justifies the means'
