Hello lovely people.

We now stand on the middle of September and we wait with the lanterns in our hands for you-know-what.

What do you mean by "huh"?

You know, 29 - 30 September 2001 (last weekend of the month) is the time for JeepNation to have fun, in the name of the Mid-Autumn Festival. We have sourced for the place and got a caterer excited to whip up some serious feast for the buffeting boffin. The plan remains to be, get there by last light and eat till we pop the first shirt button, and then we'll do the Bongo dance with our lanterns... (Provided!)

You have not signed up yet?

For YOUR personal benefit, to be part of this, sign up before 19 Septermber 2001. We have just under 20 vehicles loaded with party people primed to go. You get your spouse and kids signed up this instance!

(If you need the application form, it is available on the website)

Next in the calendar, our Basic 4x4 Handling Course scheduled to be held on 13 -14 October 2001.

The opportunity to know your vehicle, yourself and your co-driver better as JeepNation takes you for a 2 day theory + practical off-road course. Designed to expose the rookie to the basics of 4x4, you are not expected to possess any prior off-road driving experience. Just sign yourself up.

The usual rules applies, we will not push off the course with anything less than 5 vehicles. If you or a rookie friend is interested to know more about the 4x4 machine and what it and the driver can do together, drop us a mail. Applications closes on 14 September 2001.

And there is more happening in the 4x4 scene in this part of the world. The world gathers in Genting Highlands on 25 November 2001 for the 2002 International Rainforest Challenge. We have a couple of arrangements for anyone who likes to tag along or just be there for the opening event... brace yourself to witness the world's best off-road machines...
