Mr Kong, congrats on your wedding! Seems to be a few of these on the forum at the moment!

All the best, keep the good times rolling.

Cheers

Bennie

Nice one Barbs and congrats again - Tassie wedding too! I bet some roads were torn up that week…

Thanks for the update and photo drop!

Our RX Liberty is dirtier than your Lib, but yours would whip the pants off ours easy!

Cheers

Bennie

Congrats on getting hitched mate! Mrs El_Freddo and I are nudging 15yrs of marriage!

I’ll be patient for your non-work posted updates when they come

Cheers

Bennie

Whoops, I forgot about this thread!!

This was a pic from my car club’s run probably around 2019/2020 from memory. This is in Guildford, the Vortex is another member’s who is a “hard core” subi nut - he’s got an SVX and a rally vortex too. Recently he picked up his first brumby!



This vortex apparently started life as a 2wd NA. Now it’s got a factory turbo setup under the bonnet and some day it’ll be AWD too - that’ll basically bring it up to XT4 spec - turbo AWD Vortex!

This was probably the last 4wd trip Ruby Scoo did - fire track no2 in the Lerderderg area. Wicked track!



^ this was the most gnarly section. I snatched a foz up this rock later in the day. Was a good experience. This is the same track as pics earlier in this thread - the one with Subyruby in the Biege wagon and Brummbee in the white brumby, just about a decade or more between pics!

Here’s a video of the climb:

The rear storage setup mk15 or something. It’s near completion, I still need to add some things to it but it’s very functional now (finally!):



I’ll leave off here with Bennie’s version of the “Italian job” line up:



^ Redback, Sunnie the Brumby and Ruby Scoo out the front of our old rental in benders.

Ruby Scoo was “resurrected” - I pulled the whole column out, from memory I removed the ignition barrel from the column, then tapped it on a block of cement and another piece of a set of scissors fell out. Slipped my key back in and what do you know? It still works.

I reassembled the whole thing, put the column back in the car and moved her off the street. Now she’s living in the backyard waiting patiently for a better exhaust and her long anticipated 5 stud conversion.

Then a big clean out of the filthy interior. I’ll probably drive her like that for a while until I work out what to do about the rough as guts original paint work that copped a heap of shit from the tarp it Im was living under for several years. Not proud of that time of my ownership of her…

Cheers
