A Note From The Editor

I just came back from a Denmark tour. They had a Formula Off Road event in rock mines close to Aarhus. After the weekend I spent a week working on a house I recently bought along with two friends.

There are a bunch of interesting articles for you to enjoy in this issue. R.T. talks with an enthusiastic Land Rover Overlander and his dream and how it has come to live. The first day of the Formula Off Road Hella events is up with the second day coming soon (along with the Danish events). If the gas prices are killing you a brand new section with 4x4 Video Games is up and you can also check out an other low expense sport reading about RC Formula OffRoad event in Finland.

New 4x4 Articles And Off Road Stories

	RC Formula Offroad Event In Finland 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.
	New Section: 4x4 Video Games Enter the world of 4x4 Off Road video games! Race huge V8 powered 4x4s, monster trucks and ATVs around rugged terrain, including islands, massive arenas and volcanoes.
	Off Road Hella 1 2008 The first round in the World Cup also serves as the first in the Icelandic Championship in Formula Off Road. The race takes place at Hella in south Iceland. It is a beautiful day with clear skies and not too much wind.
	An Overlander's Dream Without doubt, everybody who has an off road car, or at least had the occasion to participate in an off road gathering knows there's something more to the bunch than just the cars and the mud. It's an attitude that brings everyone together, whether it's a Toyota owner, a Suzuki lover or a Land Rover racer.
	4x4 T-Shirt from SackWear Tim McGrath from SackWear just sent me a Land Cruiser T-Shirt. Actually they have 3 types so far. The FJ45lv, FJ55 and FJ40 with other models to come in the near future.
	Forum or Social Networking? The next step in the 4x4OffRoads.com development will likely be to make it ever more interactive. If you can please take a minute or two to share your thoughts and feelings about this vital step I would be really grateful. Any other comments you would like to make are also more than welcome.

Readers Rigs Are On!

If you have a 4x4 you feel proud of and want to show others - please don't hesitate to submit pictures and descriptions.

Already there are a number of nice trucks up. My plan is to make these pages high-quality and accessible and I need your help in doing so. Almost all 4x4's are unique and I am sure yours is in some way. Share your experience and allow the rest of the 4 wheeling world to see your truck and how it is used...

Take some time in describing your 4x4 and how you enjoy it. Use as many words as needed. As more rigs are added I get more picky - choosing only the most interesting rigs with lots of information and an unusual story.

Here is the page for submitting your 4x4 and looking at other readers trucks.
