got in to off roaders about 12 months ago so still learning, must admit the disco is a money pit ,but does have the power, and also likes to brake the axles. i have also spent the first 6 months welding it up but now is solid . i would have a fronty but only the 2.8 diesel but they seem to be rare car these days :crazy:

Hi Paul you found us then, this is the place where we have proper 4x4 vehicles driving them is much more fun than fixing them, Sunday should be good fun just remind rick to bring his tow rope for when you get stuck :D

Hi guys
Another new Manchester member here, in fact should be picking up my new Fronty on Saturday and probably getting ahead of myself but really fancy having a go a P&P either at Ince or Cowm, do a few of you guys go together sometimes as I'd prefer to tag along with some fellow Frontys if possible on my first outings and not let the side down getting stuck on my own straight away! :lol:
How will a completely standard LWB V6 cope with these P&P sites or should I wait till I've raised the suspension and put some better tyres on?
Cheers
Mike

hi your welcome to tag along,and just drive to your level and take it easy ,and if you get stuck we will pull you out ,with off roading its all in the tyres so in some places you will struggle ,but for £20 its a good way of finding out what way you want to modify your truck ,and my brother rick will be there and he will give you plenty of advice good luck in your new venture thanks paul

Put us on the list Paul. Theres no going back now. Hope the Discovery last until then :D

PS can somebody bring a dustpan and brush to the annual and follow Paul on any lanes he goes on. We don't want to be accused of littering the lanes.
