nice vids Rob..

I've been thinking about popping up to one of the 4x4withoutaclub do's up there... didn't know where it was though, but I might have to consider it now. Mind you though, it is a 40min drive from me. ;) But I know a couple of peeps' up there from my days with a Calibra.
Look out for my Green SWB up there sometime.

Nice one rob!

That SJ was well and truley wedged. Does it strike anyone else that the majority of people who go to these so call play days turn up in a batterd ranger or SJ? It hit home at avon dassett when the 1st person i spoke to said, oh your not gonna take that round, looking at my fronty, its to nice. Then proceeded to get into a ranger he said he got for £200 quid.

They trailer them there then thrash them about.
They have no MOT's or tax and are purley for fun :D

Where as if they where to go greenlaning they would need to be road legal, and most likely a bit more reliable :wink:

Good to see you back Si :D

You should do, the next one is on the 10th Dec. I'll more than likely be up there, if you go I'll keep an eye out for you.

I agree Ste, but i can see the benefit of it. You can attempt slopes you woundt try in your frontry and are not worried about damage, and if you break it you dont care cus it only cost you a couple of hundred quid and dont rely on it to get you to work.

I know ive been looking into getting one. The problem isnt getting a cheap 4x4 its buying the trailer. Even old car trailers seem to be fetching a premium. Your also correct its having the space to store it as well.
