yea its actually a bit made up taken from various pics most from when I trialled a few years ago he then put it together in that pic. Well I think its a cool prezzi
Jai,
Very cool picture.
Took my newbie mates out last night, Carol came too, which is a first. We known them as a couple for more than 20 years, plus we had the dogs along for a walk too.
Started at putteridge, so really gentle. Then Offley, when we arrived there were cars blocking the road. An X5 in front of me, so I got out for a look, there was a Mitsubishi L200 stuck in the entrance to the lane not going anywhere just spinning. Then I looked down the lane a bit further, there's a Vivaro van well stuck. WTF was he trying to do. The slitty driver's eyes lit up when he saw me. I got the stupid X5 out of the way and hooked the L200 up, dragged him back onto the road, not realising that the van was attached to him too. 2 for the price of 1.
Land Rover 1 - Mitsubishi 0
Then did Lilley and let the dogs have a run.
They then asked for something a bit more challenging, just to see if the difflock worked OK, so off we went to Steppingley. Thought if would give them a good mix of terrain, as they haven't done anything ever. Well the inevitable happened, way too slow into the water at the top end and they ground to a halt, the diffs were grounding out slightly. Hooked them up, quick tug and off we went. Turned around at the top and came back the way we came. Faster though it the second time and no problem.
They need to sort front recovery points out, I told them to pick some up when they picked up the Landy from Craddocks. They told the guy what I'd told them to buy, he'd talked them out of it, saying they didn't need them as Defenders don't get stuck Muppet.
He's now ordered some.
Dinner back at their place, very nice.

i'm selling the broncos for offroad only, one is like new one is fecked and the rest are cut up badly not really suitable for the road although I did use them for some time. Wouldn't be right to selling them knowing they were going on a vehicle for the road. They will be priced accordingly.
Well aslong as I have The disco chassis and body down the scrapper asap like this week, I should have a Rangie coming my way pretty soon to be broken.

Spyderman Re Jate rings.
Not got any at the moment will have to get some in cos I'v had 3 people ask me for a pair this week.
I gotta get my recovery gear in order last recover was a bit hap hazzard compared to our usual slickness. Highlift is in need of a service and more shackels required and they need to be painted diff colours. Bugsy Sandglow yellow.
