Today I’m on trip with a lot of other Jimnys, it’s clear that Jungle Green is by far the most popular colour in this group (and a very wise choice)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We all met in Springfield and the vague plan is to drive towards the Lake Lyndon area and have some fun somewhere, because Porter’s Pass was closed we went via Glentunnel and Windwhistle<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Some people have funny registrations on their car (IDKLOL)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

I’m thoroughly enjoying the beautiful scenery, it’s been a while since I saw this area fully covered with snow<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Adam’s Jimny, he runs the jimny.co.nz<\/a> website and organised today<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Normally I fly over these mountains<\/p><\/div>\n

But it’s so awesome to be driving my Jimny here now<\/p><\/div>\n

Adam returning from what turned out to be a dead-end<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And off we go again<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Someone didn’t take the corner the correct way and is now stuck<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Adam with the help of the winch on his Jimny pulled the Jimny that was stuck out of the sludge<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Off to the westernmost point of Lake Lyndon<\/p><\/div>\n

We’re at Lake Lyndon, Porter’s Pass is open now so there’s heaps of people visiting this winter wonderland<\/p><\/div>\n
