Originally
a short wheel base GQ Nissan Patrol, converted to a mid based vehicle
with laminated chassis. Holding numerous first places at countless
events, Pete's vehicle combined with his animal like driving style
is definitely not something you want to challenge in competition.

Originally
a long wheel base GQ Nissan Patrol, converted to a space cab with
laminated chassis.
Holding first place at almost ever single event competed in, Adam's
bashful nature, graceful and technical driving style combined with
the brute power under the bonnet is the reason crowds will always
hold 'Birdie' number one in their hearts.

Originally
and still (amazingly) a long wheel base GQ Nissan Patrol single
cab chassis. Holding numerous placings, Andrew has been at the forefront
of offroad racing as a competitor, mechanic and event contributor
since the very beginning. Boasting a tree hugging driving technique
with a vehicle with such power it can only be called animalistic,
you truly don't want to be standing in front of 'Shrek' as it comes
flying up a track.

A
humble street legal Nissan Patrol driven by Evan (Driver) and Rick
(Navigator), this vehicle is designed for long distance navigational
events, and boast a surprising amount of Nm grunt, agility and sensational
handling.
