iTi Doors – You Need Them in the Mud

Shannon Bushman – XXXoffroad aka Borneo Man
I knew there would be mud, plenty of mud.  It was monsoon season after all and that is exactly why the Indonesian Offroad Federation picked December, to make the Boreno Equator Expedition as tough as possible.  A true test of man and machine.  I am a desert rat so [...]

Just Got an Email from Shannon… “I’m Out”

Just got out, stole a computer for a few minutes.
