Report: The Rise of Frankenstein... 19/10/2012

Post by desert_hawk »

All were on time except 3 who apologised of not being able to attend, thanks for informing me in advance.

With higher level drivers and smaller group, this meant FASTER pace trip with nice spicy challenges, we started the trip easy to test Frankenstein and check its response, and as the response is good, we increased the level.

We continued that till we reached the main break area where we met Urs's group, nice chat and great company indeed with all of you.

Then we moved again, encouraged by the skills and confidence built, and the fact that Franki is in a perfect shape, we started to head out in a different style :twisted:

Couple of stucks, and a pop out, few self recoveries... were the main events of the whole trip but everyone was great indeed and working as a team.

As we reached our final point, the group was thirsty for more, and more was what they got, to stop again after 40-50 min to inflate, again someone :twisted: asked for more, and we headed out this time without Franki who was already started inflating, a 30 minutes of everything :devill: to stop at the end and start the inflation.

Thank you all for this wonderful trip
Frankenstein, you did very well, I was expecting some hiccups but you proved me wrong, a monster car.
DesertDawg, great driving and perfect keeping up, remember that you have a monster when you start to move on the sand ;)
The_Kraken, great driving and perfect keeping up
Ihab, great driving and perfect keeping up
Grizzly, great driving and perfect keeping up, thanks for clean sweep

You guys were just great yesterday, now, having said that, who got the pics of my stuck :lol:

Till next time, drive safe

Thanks DH for organising the trip in Frankie's honour!!

Indeed I am satisfied that Frankie is coming along nicely after a bout of recent serious hiccups!! There are still some issues: the engine is not delivering its potential and the scanner codes indicate some misfiring, 02 sensor issues and crank sensor issue - all probably because I disturbed the wiring when I removed the head.

The trip was really good: Mo you are an ace marshal, you seem to have the knack of pitching the level just ahead of the weakest link (me!) - I learnt a lot.

Cheers

Guys, I know we had lots of fun, and you all were great, but we should never let the adrenaline (hormone for action) and endorphins (hormone for happiness) to control :mrgreen:
Anyway, we didn't reach that level, but we were close :twisted: :lol:
Keep it safe and enjoy, you were great group.
