Hi all,
With all the talk of fords recently, i decided to check one out.
I went to Caughton ford in Warwickshire
There wasnt that much water in it. But there were two kids on trials bikes messing about in it. I drove nice abd calmley through the ford so as not to soak them.
Got back in the truck to check the map, and a Landy with wide tyres comes down the road at about 40mph, straight through the ford, water everywhare and two very drenched bikers.
If it had happend five minutes earlier, i would have caught it on camera
Never mind, was a nice run out
Mat

As little as possible, or to be more accurate, if i work really hard at the beginning of the week, i have more time to tinker with the Fronty towards the end of the week.
Was a slack week this week. Had a day and a half of tinkering
