Will have I reckon, shortly. I'm occurring more bonus than salary at the moment so might be on the hunt for a td5 again.

Some guys from our club did Violets last night

Not as deep as expected though, about 4ft apparently.

Did he get through it looks like he started floating then the vid ends

Is it supposed to be really jumpy or is that my youtube playing up lol

its jumpy for the first 20-30 secs then evens out. Yer i think he made it through just a bit soggy. Unfortunatly I didnt go

Looks very entertaining

Looks good fun... really need to get this head on, got all my bits today so hopefully by the weekend...

Youre lucky! mine needs a touch more lol

That's more like it, who's free at the weekend.........................violet's lane here we come. It's been a couple of years since I've seen it that deep.

I wanna no if he made it also! You guys must of been SOOO Soggy!!

What happened? Did they get out? Some of us with petrol 4x4 s have been keeping our heads down this week, don't like it too deep :0(

Floating is the word I'm thinking of Geoff.:rofl:
If you've never done violets when it's this deep you're missing out, it don't get no better than this.
Any days good with me, so it's "what day everybody can do".
We can start of in Braintree or Harlow, what ever is easiest for everybody.

I know whats going to happen, my alternator will pack up, and ECU probably. But bollox let me know what day.
Dan you can get in with me, eat plenty of pies, i think we will need weighing down so we don't float away, if tuskens vid is anything to go by.
