I have to say that my limited experience of sandrails etc at Glamis left me wanting more! I never believed anything could accelerate so fast on sand, climb such ridiculous slopes and take such punishment. Screaming flat-out up Competition Hill in an alcohol-burning injected rail remains a highlight of my life. And as for flipping over the top from one bowl into another... Better than sex. I envy you! :D

That looks like some serious fun! I'm hoping to be on some dunes in around three or so weeks time, unfortunately though not with that kind of power.

(Unless I pick up a Northstar at the same time as the Parrot).

That's on a private ground I think.
But you can't go in the wood to have a ride with you car, bike or anything else with an engine.
There is lot's of ecological restrictions.  :-\
I love off roading too. I have an old 4x4 in my garage that's almost ready to go, but no place to play with   :(

Sarge, those are some great pics in the sand. Nicely executed.

Tony, looks like fun.

Those are Halibrand wheels, Fabs.  Still got mine stashed under the workbench.  A friend loaned me a set of full polished American twelve spokes for a few years for a change of pace.  Both are magnesium wheels and wore me out keeping them up.

Thanks, Mark.  Everybody needs to experience Glamis.  The only place you can race to your hearts content, enjoy the vastness of the desert, drink beer and piss foam, burn magnesium engine cases in the fire (in the old days) and drive around all day with a big grin on your face.  Highly reccomended! ;D

Off roading is just the BEST fun you can have in a VW - Just my 2 cents  ;) :)
