Maybe DIM and early might have been better put...

lets face it, most sensible people would still be in bed,
and avoid situations in their cars where they might get stuck...

wheras, we get up stupidly early,travel for miles to try and find something to get stuck on or in!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Dont belive it im not a happy person at min. :(

Just be dropped home on a low loader had few probs last weekend with track rod ends needing replacing and could not get them to budge. :evil:

So as a quick temp fix i put a spare steering rod on which is not heavy duty so while out tonight thought ill try a local byway just to check alls ok as had to repair propshaft last weekend after it snaped off the uj.

Unsure what i did or if i hit anything but lets just say thefront wheels dont point the same way at the moment :(

So as you can guess i got to drop out for tommorrow yet again. Im now thinking of going back to a fronty as never had so many problems

Sorry guys/gals hope you all have a great day and take plenty of pics
Cheers Phil

Sorry to hear that mate...you will be missed 2moz...

you seem to be suffering it with your landy, been there matey, that why my 90 is still sitting in the workshop! :axe:

I seemed to break something everytime I used it, granted it was brilliant offroad, but the frequency of breakage took all the fun out of it, and then I was almost scared to use it as I kinda knew something would break and it would be another midnight arrival back at home on a recovery truck!

On the plus side though mate, you must have changed most of the usual breakable bits, so you should be in for a bit of trouble free use in the future...I hope! 8) 8)

Sorry you cant make it mate,
will stick some mud from tommorow in a jiffy bag and post it to you if you like....
...just add it to a couple of inches of water in a bucket,
then apply liberally to your 90,
and it will be just like you were there! :wink:

See ya next time mate...will get that tyre sorted for you for then... 8)

I wish it was an excuse would be about £70 cheaper.

Greg if you can send some mud that will be great :D

And as for replacing most bits i hope so dont know how much longer i can keep throwing money at it

Hope to see you all soon
