Rangerover run to the mountain

So a while ago I was invited along on a road trip with the ‘New Zealand Range Rover and Land Rover Discovery’ club, after following their Facebook page.  I thought I would pop up a few of the pics that appeared on FB.

Was great to be a part of the convoy of Wellington Rangies. We had a meet up in Paraparaumu, as I was a newbie I got to meet the group and as it turned out I new a couple of the vehicles and drivers. (Scarey when I remember regos…)

From here we convoyed through to Sanson where we picked up a couple more and made our way through to the army museum in Waiouru. We had a great line up of range rovers and a landy. Not sure I’ve seen so many in one spot outside of the workshop.

I had other plans from here and had to leave the group.. Looks like a great time had up in the snow off the dessert road.

For me coming home to Wellington on Sunday I encountered a lot of snow, grateful to be in my 4wd.

P38 getting some guidance through this mess. As it turned out I may as well have let the wheel go… Got to the other end though…

Umm, Bellied, long wheel base wasn’t working for me!! Some actual off road tyres might help too, All terrains not cutting it in here..

P38 Range Rover, looks great but sadly not viable to repair…

The latest purchase, this is what my current one looked like before I started 4wdriving, now covered in scratches and a nasty dent.
This one, destination unknown, couldn’t turn it down!!!
