Nice one Stu.
great nights laning. Apart from my brakes shuddering now, will try and have a look later today, hopefully just pads or crapped up, if it's more serious then, actually don't want to think about it just yet,

Big Stu 12 · Feb 4, 2011

Great night last night, 5 lanes one way, two of them in both directions, three fords, one only six inches deep, lol, Terling @2' and Badow at 10". Thanks for your company guys.

For anyone doing Terling beware of the step at the village end of the ford thats the north side of the ford, it gives a nasty thump, my discos hazzard lights came on for a few min's and could not turn them off....

Thanks for the coffee Geoff,

I've now got grinding rear pads, just ordered from the local factors, will pick up later, hopefully will get them done today or it will have to be tomorrow need the Disco for sunday's TRYO. Knew they where near but with the amount of miles we get with them and off roading try to push my luck, lol.

Nick you got to get a CB, trying to work two radios at the same time is a pain, lol, then the phone ringing.....arhhhhh

, you miss out on so much of the chat.

Some pics but not many, ok we need to co-ordinate pics with action more, lol, and do More during the day.

warned ya about the step at terling.Its better to drop down it than to drive up it.

Brian S · Feb 4, 2011

If you know its there then it not too bad as the water is only a few inches deep that end so you can slow right down to get out.

Well I did anyway

Stu thats a crash indicator thats fitted to a lot of Disco's, everytime I go laning a set mine off every few minutes. :lol:
Ended up finishing at 7pm last night, so ****ed i didn't come along. Who's is the TD5?

Looks more like a river than a ford lol. Would love to go down it after a few days heavy rain.

Heading down the workshop to fit my replacment cd i got off guy and put my washer bottle back together so i can clean my windscreen for the first time lol.

Cheers, i did remember reading this before we got there. When i went UP the step I put my drivers wheel on the right hand side, edge of bank. Seemed to work, no grounding out on the step.

Brian, thanks for testing the depth with your standard air intake, I had been a little concerned.

Geoff, thanks for coffee.

Hoping to get out one evening next week. Should know for sure on Monday.

Co-Pang-Yang · Feb 4, 2011

Think i've only got monday night off next week.

Discodad · Feb 4, 2011

Sorry guys, Monday no good for me, if anyone is going out on Wednesday I maybe able to make it. Should know by Monday lunchtime.
Photos attached (not very good and only 2).
And link to the only video clip i took:

Once you have ur MT's I'm sure it will be a different story!
I'm still amazed what these do just on road tyre's.
I must admit, if i could go back in time i would have picked MT's rather than the AT's, still I've only been stuck twice.

So far

Big Stu 12 · Feb 5, 2011

MT's will have to wait for a few weeks untill I get work sorted, but it dont do too bad on a small set of AT's
