Debenham ford was a slightly higher than the last time I drove it.
Hopefully got all of last weekends mud off!
I have put a few clips together - sorry about the editing, my first ever attempt.

Stu, hope the rain didn't put a stop to getting your bearing sorted.

Its concrete under the water and I have driven it before - even a freelan.... no scape that idea:doh:.
Anyway its about 12" shallower than Terling which is a slit bottom and my Disco coped with that (albeit that was probably the limit
)

You sure it's a slit bottom, i think that is something completely different.

Like the look of that ford, will have a go next time i'm up your way.
I understand hollywood are looking for young film making talent, shame you fail on both counts.

Yeah I am ok, no one hurt, just my pride and got a hell of dent in the front of the pug,
bonent bent, drivers headlight smashed, front bumper and valance in bits, think that may cost too much to repair so insurance may wite i off, but you never know.
Country lane + corner + mud + someone coming in other direction = BANG.
All in all untill I get the Disco back on the road, no transport.
Hey thats life.

Sounds like the insurance company may write it off. I know you havent had it long, but if its a sound car (apart from the dent) might be worth buying it back and putting it back on the road using parts from breakers? I know you need to be back on the road ASAP for work, so not sure how this would work for you?
Good luck. let me know if theres anything I can do to help.

Stu how you doing on the motor front, sorted your bearings out, are they that bad so you can't use the disco for work. I know you said they would'nt insure a modded disco, but don't you need to get back to work asap.
On a happier note whose up for some lanes, or whens next slroc drive day. Some one throw some dates into the hat. I can do any weekend after this one. Or maybe a few evening ones. If your still without wheels Stu you can come with me, and while your being bounced about you can sort out that pda and maps for me.
