Cup Weekend 2006, just before bushfires destroyed much of the area. The trip started in Licola and went over the top to Mt Hotham - taking in the iconic Blue Rag on the way.
The RRCV, along with many other 4WD clubs, helped local farmers clean up after devastating bushfires in early 2007.
RRCV members Maggie Pinder & Donald Mc Gann, aka Bushducks, sent these pics of their recent "European Wanderings" from their Celtic winter hideout in western Ireland. Rumor has it they may be back in Australia nearer the middle of the year. For more info check out their website at bushducks.com. Great pics Donald & Maggie - hope we see you soon!
A Ross Dean led Cup Weekend trip into the High Country is almost an annual event... Starting at Licola, the highlights of the 2008 trip included Mt Wellington, Lake Tarli Karng, Billy Goat's Bluff, Basalt Knob Track and Mt Blue Rag. These spectacular pics are by Robert Ross...

This was the first major dismantling session. The objective was to remove the right side (that had rust in the floor) so it could be sent off for repair. This all happened very quickly - in about four hours we were enjoying a BBQ lunch with the job done!
With the right side repair completed, in this session we refitted the right side of the vehicle and reassembled the body so it was a (mostly) complete shell. We then disconnected and removed the body from the chassis. This was so we could properly incpect and clean any mechanical and chassis components needing attention.
In this session we went all the way to the bare chassis - engine and transmission out, suspension off and all dismantled.
Still in the dismantling phase, brakes and suspension componenets were stripped and cleaned and the chassis, fuel tank and shocker towers were painted.
