Great trip report and photos. Many thanks for posting them. I can't wait for Diana to see them tonight. Allen R.

Hey, you guys. In between all your partying and having a good time check out the SCORE table. They're supposed to be passing out course maps for the B1K. Will someone, please, see if the course is, indeed, coming south from Puertecitos to El Crucero. SCORE may get the map posted on their...

Sorry, I meant to tag these photos by Lee Ames onto the above post. This is the Class 10 that Andy and Kevin Curtis (his partner in Curtis-Grider Motorsports) drove in the '06 Baja 500. As far as I know they will race the same car in the up-coming 1K. Allen R

NOOOOO, I'm not going to change my Avatar and Name to SpudTruckDriver...but :confused: OTOH, who knows??? THE Andy Grider did DNF in a Class 10 in the '06 Baja 500. He had been "Driver of Record" with the Class 7, but that team, hummmmm, how shall I put this?...collapsed earlier in the season...

[Disclaimer: I re-read this post, and it's so long that if you wish to skip to the next post, I'll not be offended. A.R.] Welcome to ExPo, Carlisle. You'll find a bunch of die-hard, stimulating, off-highway travelers here. You'll not regret having initiated this thread, as controversial as...

Guess I missed that thread. Just as well I suppose. I did read all the posts up to this point on this thread. I came to this forum just a year ago searching for information on bio-diesel and found interesting, thoughtful, courteous dialog covering topics that Diana and I love. I've found no...

Many thanks, Roseann. Allen R

Isn't that simply a classic? It's no wonder they are the "Land Yachts". We owned an Airstream for a while. I never figured out why they persisted in putting "suicide" doors on them. Ours was an older one and I made certain that we had a safety strap as well as the regular door latch. We...

Great, BM- I trust that you'll put it to test on 'our' road before they pave the whole thing. I think that we even have some spare XR parts/tires at Bufeo left over from Andy's Honda days. Have fun! Allen R

Pete, Welcome to ExPo. Years ago we tried a pop-up (Palomino Colt) tent trailer. The first mod that was required was changing out the pathetic little wheels/tires that came stock. I inverted the springs and went to a 14" wheel. The trailer lasted a few trips. Finally after the second...

This is a good thread. Thanks, Gary, for posting your notes. Since we have just acquired 'Harry' Horizon (w/Chaser suspension) we've not taken it on any long trek yet. I'll make notes of the tent mount, water outlet, and seals before tackling the silt beds of Baja California--or anywhere else...

This will be a tough act to follow. Many thanks KC. This narrative has been a real treat. We'll all look forward to seeing it in hardcover form. :bowdown: Allen R

Great! It'll be a grand adventure. Allen R

Maybe I'm just obtuse, but your clarification has not convinced me that the logistics of this endeavor, however worthy, are well-planned. You say that the team will be leaving Tampa on Nov 9. The race starts 0630h on Nov 16th (I corrected my earlier post in which I wrote the 17th.) with the...

Let's see now....ummmmm. Remind me again just what the Taco's GVWR is. :) :) Allen R

Oh man, how you whet our appetite for an adventure to Oz! Many thanks for posting this. Allen R. PS I'll have to get out my Australia Atlas again. It's already dog-eared from xxxpedition's trip. :)

Well, I have to say, Nullifier, that I'm a bit confused, also. The Baja Mil Start will be a.m. of the 16th. Most, if not all, of the serious contenders will have done their pre-running before the 13th. If you're leaving Tampa on the 9th, you'll miss nearly all of the pre-running. Are you...

Baz, I couldn't get your link to your site to work, but the mfgs link was okay. I had no idea that there were that many camper-trailers-manufacturers in Australia. Are those all outback-type trailer manufacturers? Allen R

Aaaaiiiii, chihuahua, that tent is bigger than the first house we lived in! No kidding! That's neat! Welcome, Redback. BTW, since I'm closer, I just drank the 'virtual beer' BT shouted, but I'm sure he's good for two. :beer: :beer: ... or more. That's some rig. You guys Down Under are way...

I don't have the Xterra figured out yet, but -F250, it's mounted on the left rail inside the bed (bed has canopy); -'93 Toy (in Baja), it's mounted inside the bed behind the cab (no canopy); -'98 Volvo XC is Diana's. :smiley_drive: Allen R PS- Wilman, have you ordered your cover?
