Maramures Off Road Fest
The outskirts of the Ignis mountains in Romania were home to yet
another extraordinary festival. Five editions in, each better than
the last, the MMOF has become a tradition for off roaders from
hundreds (this year, thousands) of kilometers away. 42 off road
trucks answered the invitation.
Romanian Tuning Show
I rarely go to car shows. Although I love seeing them, going to these events is something different. However, I had an invitation to check out the tuning show in Bucharest and decided to RSVP it.
June 2011 Offroad Events
A few of the more interesting 4x4 Events and Off Road Competitions taking place in the United States this June.
Every off road brand has it's own group of admirers. Friendships have been
made and broken by owning a model from the same car manufacturer. We had the chance
to participate in the third and most entertaining (so far) edition of the Suzuki Fest..
There is an entire culture for celebrating things. Some people
write them in big red letters, some send postcards or write
songs, but for Land Rover owners it's an entirely different
thing altogether. Those people remember everything and celebrate
it accordingly!
The task of selecting a birthday gift for someone in your family
is one that should be planned in advance. This year, why not
give your child a birthday gift with a twist - one that offers
adventure and education?
At the end of April, one of the most important off road clubs in Romania organized
an unlikely weekend with an interesting humanitarian action. Club 4x4 Baia Mare chose the
last weekend of the month to give back to Mother Nature by planting ten thousand trees in
two forests in the northern part of the country.
As we've already been accustomed, the end of the
summer brought a new and improved edition of the Suzuki Festival in the
heart of Transylvania. To prove that size does not necessarily matter,
28 Suzuki trucks sporting various modifications (from almost standard
Jimnyes to a tray back Vitara with Volvo portals and an impressive
vacuum - cleaner - hose - type snorkel).
In the hearts of off road lovers, summer has always had a special place.
It's the time when we lay back, relax and choose adventure instead of
routine. And there's few things more exciting than to set off in your
car towards a national or international off road meeting.
Peter Phillpotts got the idea that the most fantastic off
road race could be organised in Iceland, something like the Baja 1000:
an A to B race; no laps, just the one run. With the 24 hour summer
daylight and rough interior roads this could be big.
When you say Suzuki, you think Grand Vitara, going out on
the weekend to the family home which is on a road that's slightly rough,
or a barbecue in the forest. But among the few off road lovers, a
Suzuki, be it a Samurai, a Vitara or a Jimny is a treasure if modified
and cared for properly.
The biggest 4x4 show in Iceland to date - and in fact the show with the
most vehicles of any kind - is to celebrate the 25 year anniversary of
the Icelandic 4x4 Club. Like you probably guess I am there the whole
weekend and have a great time. The 130 4x4 trucks or so are arranged in
an way to make you enjoy each vehicle on its own terms. A real treat for
the eye!
For those who own a Land Rover or like the legendary vehicles knows that
the Billing Show is the place to go. Every year, in the summer, Land
Rover Monthly organizes a huge meeting where all the Landy enthusiasts
gather to chat, buy Land Rover parts, gear, fill their cars with
stickers or just admire other cars.
There was another round of RC Formula Offroad Finland Cup here in
Finland last weekend. Meaning of this sport is quite same as the big
ones. Try to get to the top without touching those markers.
American 4x4 lovers come from far and wide to the annual
4 Wheel Jamboree Nationals in Lima, Ohio. This year, the 3-day event
began on May 16th and attracted supped-up trucks big and small. In 2008,
the Jamboree Nationals will be hosted by eight separate events in seven
states across the U.S.
Summer is fast approaching and, for Land Rover enthusiasts all over
Europe this can only mean one thing. It's what all Landy forums have
been talking about since the beginning of the year.
Land Rover is celebrating 60 years of production. Land
Rover was originally just one vehicle; an all-terrain, utility machine,
styled after a military vehicle, but aimed at civilian operation.
Several drivers came to the final round
of the Matador MSA British Off Road Championship at Driffield with a
mathematical chance of walking away with the title...
It was an event that realizes every 6 months here in
Guadalajara. The competition in this case, were done in La Primavera
forest, near to the city. There were competitions of 4x4 modified cars,
stock cars and motocross.

come in many shapes and forms. Members of
the Icelandic 4x4 club in cooperation with Bilabud Benna showed their
rigs for other wheelers to admire, talk about and give ideas for own
future projects.
Here are some nice pictures from the 2003 Texas
Truck and SUV show in June 2003.

I really enjoy seeing real 4WD
vehicles in real situations where they are needed. There
are so many highway bound posers that never go off the
pavement here that seeing life or death 4 wheeling in
Iceland is really refreshing.
