2009/2010 Winter Stories of VX Awesome-ness

[nfpgasmask]

Hey guys (and gals) I don't have one of my VX (have only had it a few months) in the snow but will share one of my Sami (hope no one minds) - don't have a lot of snow in Alabama but plan to get the VX wet if and when it does this year.

Ed

Hey Ed, love the Samis. I wouldn't mind owning one someday. I but I need a Trooper RS, and a Defender 90 first.

Not much of a story,




Saw this guy at Sushi Moto. I am sure he is a member here but not very active. BBBEAST is the plates.

Yeah, I've talked to that guy before. I see him down in our area all the time.

Thanks Bart, I really love it but due to health problems it has to go so if you know somebody looking send them my way. If I was rich I would keep the Sami and VX then I could go anywhere under any conditions. It has a great motor and solid body, unlike some I have seen.

Photos from yesterday. Got the Trooper running again with the rebuilt 3.4. Took her for a test drive in the mountains behind my neighborhood. The fog was insane. You can normally see the whole city from up there, but once we broke out of mist and into the sun we looked back and the city was nothing but a blanket. Reno looked more like a lake!

That's my friend Tom driving the Troop and having a blast hammering through the snow drifts.




My VX. We took both vehicles just in case the Trooper farted out.


This is scary. I came really close to sliding off this cliff. I know you can't tell from the photo, but trust me that this spot scared the crap outta me. My rear end just kept sliding toward the cliff and I made the dumb mistake of stopping as it was happening. Slowly I got out of it with Tom spotting. After I pulled out of it, he looked at me and said, "dude, that was way to close". My heart was pounding for like 15 minutes after that. This was the closest I have come to rolling my VX. Yikes.












We also sent a little lead downrange while we were out there.


Wild horses.

Nice pics Bart, that fog does make it look like a lake! So I take it by the last photos and comments you were sending "a little lead downrange" at the "wild horses." ?

[JAMAS]

I wish that was in MY backyard. Looks like a blast!

Bart,
Thanks for the shots! Makes me want to go out and have a little fun with my VX. That one picture really shows how close you came from rolling down the cliff. I agree 100% - SCAREY!!!!!
Peace.

No way, thats big trouble in little reno. Plus Bart wouldnt hurt an animal unless they were the last two creatures on earth and even then he would have a hard time.

Congrats Bart! You guys make winter look fun.

My friend recorded a bit of our snow fun around Wendover this last weekend. The 3 vids pretty much suck, but they are here. Video and pics never do justice.

Absolutely not. All my guns are people guns. I like the horses. There are a lot of red neck douche-bags here however that hate them. I heard on NPR the other day that the Dept of Fish and Game is investigating a wild horse slaughter near the NV/Cali border. I really don't understand man's desire to pointlessly kill animals. I like animals better than most people, so....
