My ute is only single cab with bucket seats but does have a full size flat deck, also have choice of covered in single axle trailer or single axle cage trailer. Not much space for extra bums on seats but could be handy as tool/gear/food carrier in a tail end charlie type role to take care of any on-road issues

I was thinking more along the lines of a couple of swapper crates filled with ice cold amber liquid.

Won't really know till a couple weeks before probably. Providing people actually get a decent 100km or so at least on their bikes beforehand to niggle out the wiggly bits (especially the 2T crew) then it should be okay with one. 

What date are you back from the states?

I will be back in time for this, Was telling the boss all about it and he practically insisted that I go. I will catch up with you in the next few days and discuss. Would prob be ute and trailer if needed. Can carry gas,food,luggage etc and maybe throw in a bbq for grazing.

So how many bikes are going this year? Is one support ute enough?

Got yourself a genuine kiwi classic there. These were the bees knees when they came out, hauling A-trains ans self steer 40 footers all over the country. I hope you're doing a build thread?

It's a work of art 

Where is that car?

I didn't spot this IRL so no idea when it was taken, but was google mapping an address when I saw this proper OS Holden chugging down the street view...

Big test will be when you plug the jug in for smoko.

Few years back had a mk1 escort 1600 with twin dellortos,extractors,cam, celica 5speed. Maximum dooorts and maximum smiles. I had a Hillman hunter brake booster mounted down in the passenger foot well/under dash area. Worked very well. Although this in the days before certs.

Thoes auger type log splitters suck they get stuck in a knotty bit of wood and can be a mission to get out the spear ones work well you just retract the ram and the wood falls off

They are also quite good at smashing gearboxes, would not recommend, from experience.

Hi guys and girls, remember the bad old days when 2 doors or even 2 seats was one more than you actually needed? What did you drive? I am keen to hear about rides from back in the day (whenever that was for you) and if you have any old photos that would be awesome.

In the late 90's this was my chosen mode of transport. I purchased it as a rolling shell when I was about 18 and with the help of my mates put it together in a neighbors shed. I have been told that the car is still alive and well and living in Rangoria somewhere although I haven't seen it myself in years.

Snap! had a red one 

My pick is the Tridents with eagers, can understand the appeal of the os turbos but they never floated my boat, even back in the day.
