Do you have to be a member of Invicta 4x4 to get it at the reduced entry fee?
Have you been to Slindon before James? Some of us went down there in the summer when it was dry and still mud could be found. Apparently, it used to be an old sand quarry so you can image how hard the mud sets. We were knocking brick like blocks off our motors, so watch your rad if you go through silty water. You would need to flush out the rad before you drive home or the rad could turn into a brick.

nope you dont i asked the organiser he said more the merrier. and aint been there before probly wont be going through to much water as i still got these a/t's on

[Retro Pedro]

James - it's a big site, I think about 150 acres so you'll probably find plenty of water free play areas if you do want to go.
There are some real extreme places to, one being named 'The Outback'. We done a wrongun venturing in there in the summer so defo a no no this time of year.
This is the link to the post when we went down there.

yeah i think i am going, £20 is a good price i think, how much did it cost you?

[Retro Pedro]

£30 per car. They had a burger hut selling stuff but no hosing facilities to flush the rad out should you need to.
Quite fancy it myself but I know it's wishful thinking cos I've got the pressure on to finish the decorating before I can go playing

[jamez2]

get it done before sunday and come along, at least ill know someone there then.

Got invited by them to 4x4live at brands hatch tommorow its free but i aint risking driving up there the way my rad hose is, its getting very fat and i aint risking it, not worth it.

[Retro Pedro]

What's 4x4live all about James?
Also, what's making your hose expand like that, as the head gasket gone?
Normal circumstances I might have had a look at Brands, but know I can't make it.

[jamez2]

na compression came back fine, its the hose its gone soft and flexible its like dough. £15 from vauxhall but gotta wait till tuesday

[jamez2]

4x4 live is part of the brandshatch racing car live, rally live and karting live event.
free use of the 4x4 track and free access to the site shame i couldnt go
