Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

I think for our next party trick, we need to organize a skidpan-day at the big Z...

Marnus, will you post the results please? Particularly the idle test? I never saw the results of that. Just for interest's sake, as we all know that anybody who drives a Trollie is a winner!

Man it looks like you guys had a ball - sorry I was too late to take part. But I still managed to find you all just in time to share a cold one and to hear the action stories first hand! It was good to see everyone, and a big thank you for inviting us to share lunch with you ( I never intended to bum off anyone) but thanks all the same, the chow was great.

Ag no man I had to leave early and missed two of you guys......

Thanks to everybody there - it was a blast.

I left last, and somebody picked up my tab! Thanks, I have a slight suspicion who it may be, thanks a lot.

It was good fun and an amazing spirit on the day. Thanks to Graham for sponsoring the prize.

The results: on the idle test, if the car did not surpass the reference mark, there was just a -0.00 awarded.
Tinus's 2nd run was a calculated guess, but we gave him the benefit of the doubt - time awarded in line with his time and position ±25 seconds from the finish.

I did not record results for the patrol train tests.
Thanks once again!

Well done to everyone (Yes including the oilburners!!! ) Very upset that I missed it

Average rally times:

4.8 Petrol 04:26.8
4.5 GU 04:23.2
4.5 GQ 04:15.2
4.2 TD 04:27.9
3.0 TD 04:37.9

O must say again it was great fun.....that poor rally track .....it looked like moz sand after the spinning ect .....I did a round with greg piet Micheal and christo .....must say they all go great and if you look at the times not much between the different models.....but those 4.5 GQ s are like rockets on a rally track.....

Now, everyone had a look at the results - the conclusion is fairly shocking:

CARBURETTOR IS KING!

haha.... yeah .... Old school technology wins.....

Go GQ
