Wish I could make it this year, can't believe I have missed all 6 of these. I'll be happy to get the Tdi fired up this weekend. Taking tomorrow off and going to the local Parker store to get that last PAS hose made up. Everyone think positive thoughts for me!
cheers

A Land Rover would never turn up to collect an Oscar. It'd be far too busy doing something important, somewhere, for someone."
My dad and I made it home in one piece and we're in the process of drying and cleaning everything. Thanks to Les, Don, and who ever else helped in anyway for making this weekend possible! Pictures to follow soon.
I sure had a good time at Metal Dash Weekend on Saturday. Is was great to have such good weather, though I guess the guys who stayed over for Sunday were not quite so lucky.
With Don Flye's approval, I've put together a little official web site so that in future years information will be easier to find. I've also posted my photo galleries for the three years I've attended including of course this year:
Jodi and I had a great time, I guess the axle must have been previously strained because it snapped so easily. thanks to Don and anyone who helped out. It was good to catch up with everyone.
Thanks to Don and all who hosted this event. My son and I had a great time. I am sure though that there are no mosquitoes left between Petersham and Salem MA. we made it back just fine. Thanks again for the tech session Les. Looking forward to next year!
I was hoping to go, but since I just got my rover 3 weeks ago, I haven't gotten it fully in order for a long trip from central Maine. went through the fluids this weekend, and found almost no oil in the swivels, and both diffs down almost a quart! Glad I didn't go.
For next year, perhaps Jim and some of the others from Maine would be interested in caravaning down. I get tons of looks driving my IIA, but 3 or more in line at the gas pumps would sure cause some commotion!
Bad gas mileage gets you to some of the greatest places on earth.
Its great to know that the event was well recieved.
I feel such silly fellow in leaving my camera on the computor desk at home, downloaded all my previous pix to a file and ommited to add it to the luggage !!! Silly billy!
Many thanks to Don and Mike Flye for their hospitality and hard work to make this event enjoyable to all.
Saturday night's feast at the church hall was interesting !
