Ivan, Kyle and Shaun gave us an action-packed trip down and back up the Poutu Peninsula over Anzac weekend taking in miles of open surf beach, troublesome twists, twerky turns, crazy climbs and devilish decents ..

Andrew's Kahn does the stuff!
key words: cyclone pam, category 5 , maratoto, landrover, mud!
We had 4 trucks initially. But by the time I had mucked about figuring whether to go ahead we were down to two . Craig in his new Disco 1 Tdi with recently fitted side under and front protection and the my white open ( to the weather and rain) Defender.
Ray Wong & Bruce Gibson sent in some great photos and Ivan his video for the Motu Safari 2015
An epic Waitangi weekend with club members :)
Approx. 130 trucks + a dozen marshals!
Arrived @ about 10pm on the Wednesday nite in the rain @ Motu with Ray's truck making funny noises & mine with an overheating auto tranny.
20 trucks had fun in the sun..
What a cracker day! - and we did manage to get off-road... Eighteen trucks gathered at Cornwall Park, some fully dressed, some overdressed and some with just their proper LR finery showing 
. Stand outs were the Hickeys and the Smiths who also got themselves dressed up all fancy too.

A good show once again for the Land Rover Club supporting Auckland Council and the NZFWDA (via The Auckland 4WD Club) for this annual event. 12 LRs! (but we may have missed one or two). Wild and windy with 6m swells and a SW'ly keeping the high tide, high.
No exciting trash finds but plenty of fish-smelly stuff and the usual bottles, plastic, rope, jandals, car seats etc.
Best bits:
Heading Southwards - Four "boxes" in a row: Photo!
Slippery, slidey, scarily!
Warren wasn't expecting something like this to jump out in front of him!
Well done to all our brave souls who put their vehicles on display at Queen's Wharf, over the damp Queen's Birthaday Weekend. A good show of Land Rover's best!
Thanks to Graeme for introducing us to this neat playpen for Land Rovers! A great time was had by all. There was something for everyone on a beautiful Autumn day.
