Hi Leon,

Yeah she lapped it up!

After you had left, we went to an area along side the new bridge- the hill we found there out of a creek was quite short and steep with out much run up- that VW lapped it up- quite amazing!

I think Jeff got some pics of it out there? Jeff... what you got?

Cheers,
Ian.
