These are all the cars we went with, which was fun for Pepper, because she normally only plays with Space: The Final Frontier, and other Landy's.
We drove up to a mud hole which challenge vehicles had gotten stuck in the week before. Pepper sniffed at the hole but decided to turn around and drive back to the trail. There was a little mud hole on the track which Pepper couldn't resist jumping into, only problem is she couldn't jump out. Charl and his "Jeep" Kaas had to pull Pepper out, which provided a couple of exciting pictures:
Charl looking rather freaked out as his brother-in-law Thomas attempts the next obstacle looking far too relaxed! Pepper decided to follow (push) Kaas into all the obstacles, which presented one or two problems occasionally. Kaas has a brutal-sounding 3.0l Ford V6, front and rear lockers and some decent suspension and tyres. Which means that he is a far more capable vehicle than Pepper, but Pepper being the Landy she is couldn't resist following Kaas everywhere. Which meant that the snatch straps, tow rope and recovery points were well used by the end of the weekend.
Here are Molly (Kaas's mommy) and Andrew playing in the sand
There were a few tricky obstacles where ground clearange and a big engine (and crazy driver) helped!
The manne relaxing after a hard days driving:
As usual, there is a cost associated with playing and this time was no different. Pepper decided to attack an obstacle far too fast, due to the fact that her carb-tappet-crankrod is not working too well. The obstacle won, and Pepper limped off with a cracked chassis. Chassis! But all is well now, and Pepper (the still dirty little girl) is ready and waiting for Sunday's points event.
