Jealous.. Looks like alot of fun.
Frontera heaven, right there!

[Red Oktober]

so you took your fronty offroad then.............


good fun or what

[jond66uk]

yes carl and it really does change the way you look at your fronty. Even in it's poor crippled state it performed well

[marlbororman]

Excellent day out everyone, cheers for making it happen to all involved

[jond66uk]

A certain Ian and Lawrence seem to have NO FEAR. They just went for everything that was put in front of them

[marlbororman]

I love my fronty!!!

[jond66uk]

:lol: I love my fronty!!!

And so you should, it was awsome mate

[I Live For FOG]

Glad everyone had a good time and no faults .

like it well impressed with you Jon

[marlbororman]

I just got back in now,from my local quarry!!! was off to strip parts off a burnt out fronty, but its been recovered

Instead spent the rest of the day playing, and had my fronty balanced on front nearside and rear offside wheels Still managed to reverse out though

Problem i have now is finding tracks to go down,where noone else has been!!!

So my baby has had two jet washes in 24 hours!!!!

[fuzion]

Well once again, what can i say.

A fantastic weekend with exceptional company, and lots and lots of fun

Thanks to everyone who attended, it was great to meet you all and look forward to meeting you all again very soon.

But a massive thanks must go to Andrea, Steve and Andreas mum and dad for organising the meet, and providing food and wonderfull hospitality.

Thank you all.

I have too many photos to process tonight, its been a long day. But here are a few of the 77 i took, some of the high and low lights of Saturday and Sunday morning

In total, 13 Frontereas were in attendance (Marco and his dad joined us later) :





Ian, in his great 2.2 petrol SWB, you have yet to be stopped, well almost, you nutter



Jond66uk, well and truly stuck

Jon, it was great to meet you. Im really gald you joined us and had the nerve to have a go, well done mate. (i secretly think you were trying to get stuck, so i would get covered in mud attaching recovery gear and pulling you out )



2 nutters in a 2l Sport, who i forget the names of
Hope the fuel relay lasted till you got home. Next time, dont forget the cable ties



Solihullsteve in a water splash



Trugga showing off



The three amigos

Sherman, SS2 and my muddy Fronty



A very dirty Fronty



And now for the out takes.

Ill let Trugga explain this one



And finally spare a thought for Sherman

A pully on the aux drive belt seized, so had to be stretcherd home



Sorry Andrea

Hope its sorted soon, and doesnt cost too much. At least Sherman is clean again now

Steve cant get online tonight, but also relays his thanks to everyone.

He has some great pics, and a fantastic vid of the (all be it abriged due to technical problems ) fording run.... you guys know who you are, thanks for baring with us

All in all, a great weekend.

Lets do it again soon

Looking good folks
Ste

[Trugga]

Excellent pic's Mat, and nice comments as well - I recon you must have walked further than you drove

I'd just like to point out that I got stuck in that ditch having towed out the SWB - the favour was then returned

Glad everyone had a good time and no faults...

Hmm:
Bent rear number plate holder and cracked number plate
Possible broken rear exhaust pipe (again)
Broken bull bar mounted CB arial bracket.

See my vids of the day in this thread.

'twas a good day out.

Lawrence

[fuzion]

It was a great weekend

Much imbibing was partaken of at the Boat House on both nights (eh, Steve / Andrea )

As for damage, not too bad. Lost my front number plate in the 'big' water splash , the mount for my CB aerial broke

On a later run through the warter SS managed to 'retrieve' a 3" section of my numberplate on his bullbar

And after all the recoveries, i managed to wrap my tow rope round my front wheel, whilst it was attached my light bar

Its pulled the light bar forward a bit, and it no longer works

Never mind, could have been worse

I recon you must have walked further than you drove

Probably true

Aching a little now

But i was unlucky to get a pic of you falling in your a$$, Lawrence. Cant beleve Doggy cam was off, Ian wasnt filming, and everyone else wes laughing too much to take a pic

sorry

[Marko]

Sorry folks, I forgot to mention removing the front number plate before doing the splash, At least 2 of mine, one of my dads, and one belonging to haps is under there somewhere LOL

Its the reason mine is secured on the front grill...



All I broke was my alternator (Again) which is why I dashed off before dark... Picked one up on the way home and swapped it. I suspect its water thats killing them...

[jond66uk]

Marko, was that your dad driving like top gears stig ? so cool , that guy can really drive and the stig is just as good lol

[haplessboylard]

Ive just noticed how mine was the only petrol that hasnt broken down over the weekend.

Co-incidentaly, i was the only one who stayed out of that frotting big puddle....

There is a lesson in there, somewhere.

It was me driving the blue one, My dad just borrowed it to play on the hill there a couple of times, its got better tyres on than the LWB one, He does drive like a man possesed though
