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:

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 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
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
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
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. |

The 4x4OffRoads Forums Are ON!

taken a while to get it started but with your help it will grow and become
extremely valuable for all 4 wheelers....And now it's here!

internet :)

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
