Some great footage there Symon. Every time I see your bullbar I think you're off to a B&S ball :)

Isn't it amazing how its changed. I see Symon took the same line we did last year at Nolans as well. Good to see the big truck power through.

Nice footage Symon. A few things that need to be mentioned:

I did arrive on time at the shopping centre  ;D

It's great to see you get up Palm Creek, which means the highly publicised photos of you stuck last year will now have to be re done. M :D
