cool, thanks for posting Bruce...
Thanks guys 
I can say without exception, that the 70 series is the most durable vehicle I have ever tested or raced. 100kph+ on dirt roads, technical rock crawling, hood high water, 4 wheel drifts across rock mesas, dune jumps, nose dives off of 3m tall cliffs, high speed desert sections with jumps and severe bottoming.
All of that, and then driving the truck back to France at 100km per hour for nearly 1,200kms. Incredible machine
All of you who own one are a fortunate few

Congrats! Did you modify the PZJ or was it done by another company?
Congrates too !
This should be in the international corner for chat. Perfect thing for it.

maybe if there was tech involved but it is more of a trip report, no?Greg_B said:
In that sense I agree then. It could be moved to trip reports. But then that would defeat the purpose of the post. This was a comment about an event specifically posted into the 7* series by someone to let people in the 7* series section know about this trip.
If you want this one moved, then sure, and I would further suggest all of the trip reports in Intl chat be moved to the Trails/events/expeditions section.
In fact, there is a trip report in the correct section...about this trip: https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=84170

i disagree, i suggested the international chat for the localization of trip reports and other international news. i was tired of seeing interesting threads lost after a couple days.
basic chat is still in chat,
international chat, so far, is above the basic chatter in the chat section.
i was informed that a thread to be kept in 70 series tech had to have tech involved. it is not to be 70 series chat. there have been posts deleated and moved because of a lack of tech involved. since this is the case then just because you like something cool (like this thread) doesn't make it okay to leave it here.
cheers

I cannot move Wayne, I got no modn powers in here.
I like the direction the international chat area is going. I like the reports or trips in there, like the ones you post. I kinda think the internation chat area is anything goes. Like the BC corner.. Tech/forsale/ etc... for specific stuff.... I dunno.
This kinda fits in there. It has no tech. Well you have to read deep for it.
Now some things are just plain interesting and it is related to 7x. But I know Wayneo had a lot of things similar moved.
Lets see what Beanz2 does.
I only can move stuff out of Diesel or classified diesel. If you look down at the bottom of the page you can see who is the forum mod for that section.

My friend...
The trip report in question was in the trip report section on this site. The link was to make people aware of the trip report, and it that it involved a 7* series. In fact, that's the best example of how an international trip report fits into the existing section (Trials-Events-Expeditions). This is recognized and approved practice on Mud I thought.
Using your logic and quoting your comment that you wanted to see a trip report section means all the trip reports in the international section should be moved to the Trials-Events-Expeditions, as it was and is exisiting, alive and well. In fact, that is what I think should happen.
This site is about being inclusive for things like outfitting, trip reports, items for sale, venders, etc, and then branchs out to the general vehicle series to narrow down needs and tech. Club sections cover all ground, as it should...it is local and beholden to the club.
At this time I do not think there is need for an international chat area. It is mainly trip reports, and the chat can filled with in other sections of Mud. I do agree with moving the clubs that are international to highlight them. Maybe...and I hope...we will see more there.
I think having an international chat which is mostly filled with trip reports from various people around the world to be very exclusive, especially seeing as there is a trip report section. To me, participation in this site is not about that.
I think the international crowd would be much better served, hit a larger audience and garner more chat if all these "international" trip reports were in Trails-Events-Expeditions. I would think the USA users would get a kick out of seeing our reports sprinkled in with the reports that are there. Don't get me wrong...I like the reports. I simply believe they belong with all the other reports...unless it is a club report, and in the club section.
The site itself is simply international in scope due to the subject (Land Cruiser) in just about every section.
Further to this train of thought, I agree with Woody. I do not think there is a need for a JDM and diesel section for sale (and if anyone should want one it should be us). I agree that all for sale should be in one section, with JDM, or DIESEL, or AUST SPEC in the heading, if it is such. If you are looking...use the search feature. A new section breakout might be interesting.
Sorry for the detour folks...and thanks to Woody for hosting this site. At the end of the day, it's a great resource and meeting place. Woody will evolve Mud as he sees fit, as he navigates the future. That is as it should be.

i guess what you are suggesting is we start our own world wide JDM club and call it that. then we can post what ever, the same as the coastal cruisers with out having to worry about having our posts modified, deleated or moved on us.
hummm...not a bad idea, i will ask Woody what he thinks...

Not really, as I thought anything below the TLCA line was for TLCA discussions, and below that for TLCA sanctioned clubs (I could well be wrong on this assumption), as a way of promoting membership in the TLCA. This would not fall inside this idea. Why don't you want to play inside the existing sandbox and need to build your own?
