Well everyone im sorry to say i have no pics for you this time, the reason for this will be aparently clear when the rest of the guy's end up putting theirs on. Hope all that came enjoyed yourself's we did and the Beast made it home. Now all i have to do is get a new alternator, starter and dry the old beast out inside. It was a challenge to say the least!!!!
Another good meet. Mr Mucker Sir Could you arrange a greenlane day that you can attend for the near future with some nice dry weather ???? :dance: :dance:

I must say that Buildwas is a tough site when wet.

Unlike, say Farley, the most comprises of lanes or tracks and woe betide you if you meet someone coming the other way. That said, I am very pleased with how the Sport performed.

Quite a lot of winching this time, which was a change, both self recovery and the recovery of others - the wet weather meant the recovering vehicle had to be anchored - all good experience.

Yes, it was a bit moist, but wear a hat and coat and you don't seem to notice much - until you get in the car with two inches of mud on the soles of your feet.

Nice to meet up with the regulars again and meet a few new faces.

Piccies and maybe a short video in a bit.

I'm not quite sure - looks like Mark has been a little ill perhaps, but I think he was actually getting up from looking underneath his truck.

Well Bobby did it again approximately 3 minutes into the mornings play time with my daughters boyfriends parents in tow we were nose down, arse up, hanging in the seat belts like puppets(bill, ben and weed), its only a little drop says the driver, then manny where are you goes out over the air waves with amazing amounts of laughter as we need winching out. Everyone bails out through the window on the passenger side and its raining so we were wet as well. That was just the start of it hopefully there will be pics on site at some point.
regards chrissy
