Khanafari 2009
As a member of the Suzuki 4WD Club of NSW, I’m fortunate enough to be able to engage in a wide scope of activities. One of these became available on the of the 16th & 17th May. Our club was invited by the Sydney branch of the Land Drover Owners Club (LROC) of Australia to attend their yearly ‘Khanafari’ event. It had been a while since I had participated in some friendly 4WD competition, so I decided to pack the swag and go along.
The Khanafari was held on private property near Bathurst and included some basic 4WD events, as well as a couple of more challenging courses to navigate. Unfortunately I did not take my camera, so I have no pictures, however I did find this video of the event on YouTube as posted by a member of LROC.
I had a lot of fun on the weekend… catching up with Suzuki Club members and well as making new acquaintances with LROC members. The banter around the camp fire was particularly humerus 
After completing the fun events on each day, I decided to take the Zook through the ‘difficult’ courses. As the courses were designed to be ‘more challenging’ for the larger Land Rover vehicles, it was a stroll in the park for the little red Zook!!! However I was amazed at the amount of comments I received about how surprised people were that the little stock Vitara conquered the 2 difficult courses with ease.
The only down side to the weekend…. on the way home crossing the mountains, the clutch decided to die. So it was a very slow drive the rest of the way home.
On a positive note, at the following club meeting I was presented a trophy… First Place Suzuki @ Khanafari 2009…. nice!
First Place @ LROC Khanafari.
I put Coopers on my Rocky years ago. At the time they were unknown to me, cheaper than anything else, and lasted three times as long as previous sets. I now have them on Ivy, but they weren’t cheap!
