The time finally came for Chris's moment of glory. The envy of all, in his little "Thumper". Yes, Virgil is no longer...it's now "Thumper". Chris got to have his bit of fun. He went up Big Red, and a few other hills, but this,....THIS....was his moment of glory.
Some of the guys in the group now want one, and somebody from another group came over and offered to buy it.
I overheard somebody saying in the Birdsville camp site, "I love the sound of that engine". With four Scouts in the group, the rumble of engines could be heard from far and near.
Below is the video of Chris's moment of glory......

But alas, it wasn't to be for too long. As he made his last climb up the hill, his front tail shaft twisted beyond repair, leaving him back to a normal 2WD.
