Late pull out I'm afraid. Sierra won't even make it to 80kph. Think it's a blockage in the cat. Hope it is a simple as that. Will look forward to seeing the pics.

Split the exhaust at the two bolt flange, smash the guts of the cat out, bolt back together.
Job Done.

That's my plan of sorts. Might just remove it all and just wear earmuffs

Hi Fellas.
Another fun weekend in the High Country. Weather was fine and mild, a bit windy.
Thanks Richard for organising this trip and all who came for great company.
Regards Wayne.

My thanks to all who came on the trip, It was a great weekend of driving the high country. Thanks Luigi & Steve 125 for collecting wood for the essential fire as it was bloody freezing overnight. Nice that Steve made the effort to drive up for the camp-over in his new truck. Met Mike57 & Tony at Langwarry on the trip home & pleased to report Mike had recovered from his early illness. Luigi demonstrated his ingenuity and effectiveness of his spring repair kit & gave it a good test on the Cheynes Bridge track on day 2. Have to reclassify some of the tracks driven!
Also good to see some young ones on the trip again.
Cheers Richard
PS: home about 1630 hrs.

Thanks for organising the trip Richard. I had the car unpacked and everything put away by about 5.30 pm but the cleaning will need to wait for next weekend.

The exit from Valencia Ck track on day 1 was quite challenging and I continue to learn with every experience (I won't think that i have 35 inch wheels again). Sorry I had to pull out of Day 2. I have not had a migraine for years and did not carry the right drugs with me, lesson learned for next time. Tony and I took a look at the Licola caravan park cabins while we were having lunch and we both thought that might have been a better place to camp this time of year? I too appreciated the efforts of Wayne and Steve in finding the firewood.

Thanks also to Tony for staying with me. (not that he reads this forum)
