Default Fun alright!

Thanks everyone, it certainly was a lot of fun! As you can imagine thats only a small taste of what we got up too, we were too busy driving to film the rest. It is great to have that sort of terrain at our doorstep.

Jordan, yeah the brakes do get a bit warm. The brake pedal goes too the floor pretty early as the drums get hot and expand but the steering remains fine, just with a little more freeplay. Definitely 1st gear on long downhills for max engine braking and as little brake use as possible. And I'm sure you're all aware that a series of "lock" skid turns seem better than dragging the steering brake around on long turns.

David, what do you mean "tweeked" flathead? Its original as! haha. Yeah it certainly goes good and runs sweet all day long with no dramas. Those small "tweeks" were well worth the effort. What do you reckon, part 2 video with several more carriers soon?
