A Note From The Editor

The forums are slowly growing. There are now 51 registered members on the forum and they have written 122  posts on 54 topics. Head on over to the 4x4 Off Road Forum - read what others are saying and share your stories. I would appreciate your help in starting the ball rolling - so just go to the forums and find some interesting posts to comment on.

There have been a few spam robots posting. As soon as I see something like that, they are zapped, with IP banning and the posts deleted. The PHPBB that runs the forums are a little bit more complicated to control than the WordPress that I use for my blog (thrandur.net). I just try and learn as I go. If you have some hints how to best fight the spammers I would be glad if you made a post about it on the forum:

New 4x4 Articles And Off Road Stories

Iceland Adventure Tour on local TV Iceland Adventure Tour on local TV
From the N4 TV station in Akureyri, Iceland.
"Iceland is a very exciting country in the eyes of many foreigners and they often see things that we the locals don't. Among these are two American motorcycle guys that we met."
Garmin Nüvi 710 GPS Garmin Nüvi 710 GPS Review
The Garmin Nüvi 7xx line is currently the top of the line in the Nüvi line of GPS systems from Garmin. I got the opportunity to give it a real world test on a recent tour around Iceland. When you open the box you see the Nüvi itself of course and a tiny booklet with all the instructions you need.
Transylvania Adventure Trophy Transylvania Adventure Trophy
Like every year, off road lovers from all over Europe gathered in the Romanian city of Deva, in the western part of the Transylvania Plateau to take part in one of the most prestigious competitions of the year. The competition spirit was left aside in favor of a more friendly, fairplay relationship between contestants.
The Cluj Cup The Cluj Cup
Between 7 and 10 of August 2008, Transylvania Off Road Club organised the sixth stage of the National Championship in the Baisorii Mountain resort. The Cluj Cup is, as are all the competitions in the race calendar, a Trophy/Trial competition.
Mt. Disappointment - Australia Mt. Disappointment - Australia
Michael had a great trip to Mt. Disappointment last weekend. It was eventful and fun. Numerous deep bog holes had them in and out of the vehicles checking the depth. Most, although deep, had firm bases and didn't present to much difficulty.

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 you can see a great selection of readers trucks

I recently started to write a blog about various things that are on my mind. I got the domain thrandur.net and you are most welcome to drop by and make comments to the posts I make there.

Most of the content on that site is business related and the theme is: digital technology, dream business and design success. In particular I talk about the ideas and products I am trying out and how well they work for me in practice.
