weeeeee!

i don't do a lot of buggying just a bit here and there.

went buggying today with Alan, he wanted to break 60km/h at the moosemeet next month, but we both broke 70!

i got 72.2km/h and he did just a wee bit less

weird thing was the runs in the 70's were the nicest smoothest runs we had

i couldn't figure out why i couldnt get over about 35km/h in the first three runs when i felt like i was flying!!! but then i realised i had left the gps on knots!!!!! hahahaha

well i was flying a ~12m something or other arc I've been loaned to see what I think....

the wind? I'd say maybe a good 20kts from the the nne which is like 30 deg more cross than straight onshore,

this was low tide at warrington beach...
