Some of the pics show some challenging bits. Is there some easier stuff for us less experienced ones who have 4hr drive back home?

When I spoke to the organisers earlier I got the impression they were pretty chilled, if it sound nice but throaty I reckon it would probably be fine, but if it sounds like its running open headers then they might have an issue with it...
Road legal exhaust does cover a fair amount I suppose...lets face it a TVR is road legal! 8) 8) 8)
I guess it could also depend how you drive it to....If you were to drive round revving it unnecessarily it would be more of an issue than if you tried to be discrete and only opened it up when you needed to...
At my old offroad site we used to quieten cars by wedging some cunningly shaped lumps of wood in the tailpipes...sounded a bit farty, but worked and quietened them down enough, and meant that really fruity V8's were able to join in with all the fun, sooner than have to sit it out and have a day of misery when everyone else is enjoying themselves.. :(

Have heard a bit about your truck...would be interesting to see how it does in the mud...
...if all else fails the Li'll white locked up leafer will pull you out if you get stuck! :lol:
Check out the index thread below where pics/reviews from all our past meets can be found!!!!
click here for the SE Events Index/links Thread...see all the reviews and whats coming up soon!

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!

Errr, eh?? I'm not following you there bud.
Besides, as it's only just the other side of Rugby, I will be there for the Friday night, come hell or high water, as I can do that in 2 hours no problems. It was only cos Bala's a 3.5 hour drive that I did the Saturday run.

OOOooooh, THAT. <mutter, grumble, offensive gesture, swear> Yeah, if there's a separate shower block, at least you'll not be able to do that again.

Tip for anyone using a portaloo if Bernie's about and has been drinking... DON'T!! Heard the distinctive rattle of a DTi starting as soon as I got in, the sod drove up and wedged the door :axe: Tactical error on my part, sadly. My stealth skills were lacking that morning.

it depends on what wattage the urn is and the 2 light if you have then all running together
say
2x lights 300w
tea urn 1200w

then you would need 1kw at least :drink:
