Think I saw the disco in the picture today in enfield. Has it got a tiger print cover over the spare wheel

Only met him the once for that laning session so dont really know.

I dont really take in the bits and pieces on any of the Rover models out there.

I'm a Hilux buff I'm afraid.

If it was a Hilux in front of me that day I would have been able to tell you where the mud stains were.

Great day out Saturday and looking forward to going again.

(If only to get some pics of a possible recovery....!

)

No point being at the back, cos every one gets in your way !
I'm surprised hilux got to the other end, with all that bobbing about on the top of the water !
Did you get your exhaust done in the end G man. I'm thinking of making a pipe with no boxes on it, now all i need is the pipe and the time.

Got the bits for my snorkle now.
Just got to wait for the bloomin rain to stop to fit the thing.
With the amount of rain today the fords will be flooded.

Have seen a couple of fords on Youtube, nearby, that look good.

Little baddow, Terling & Puckeridge.

Next meet lets go fording.

G-man · Nov 1, 2008

that ford was 3 feeet deep when that vid was taken, i have driven it at 4 feet but got a wet arse lol the normal depth it just over a foot deep, and about 30 yards long when its 4 foot deep it is about 70 yards long and up level witht the bridge on the right hand side

Ryder · Nov 1, 2008

Hey we drove violets lane last weekend and it was a little disappointing. Some work seems to be going on to the side.. wondering whether if it providing extra drainage. Went to Standon afterward... now that was a different story... challenge getting into the water with a muddy drop and I wouldn't have driven it without a snorkel!
