Andrew’s a professional writer, so I hate to scribble on his paper. He’s busy though and I’m on a break. This will be brief.  I’ve wondered sometime now, about building a truck or SUV for going fast off road.  The parts off-roaders need to creep through washouts and bog through mud holes are pretty similar to the parts a good […]

Rally Raid


This is a tease.  I finally made it to RallyX.  Event #1 was cancelled due to 140km/h winds.  Event #2 came and went while I was at home loading up tools and doing a mechanical once over… but I wasn’t going to let anything keep me from #3.  Andrew came out as well, and his story is probably infinitely more […]
