No no no no no - A TYRO is a totally different type of event, where you drive short sections between canes, the aim being to get to the end of the section without stopping or touching a cane.

This Punch Event was like a treasure hunt, with the clues hidden in difficult places to get to - a winch being one of the tools use to exticate the vehicle once you's visited the punch.

Cheers Ste, and welcome back :D

Need to locate a box first, then arrange some man power to help me fit it.

Whilst it is out, I'd like to change the rear crank seal and might as well change the clutch.

Someone has found me a spare 2.0 Sport in Coventry, with a failed clutch - I'm waiting on a price for the whole truck - it would be nice, if I had the space, to strip it for spares (or even re-shell mine) but that just can't happen - would be good to have a spare engine, sterring components etc - shame the diffs will be wrong.

Need to get a box first, then start motivating the troops.

Was a cracking day out though.
