Had a great night up the hill untill by fordy.1984 on Sun Jan 09, 2011 5:49 pm
We dicided to do a track that we hadnt done in about a year or so, this was about 11pm last night. Got half way down and the track has changed rather alot, there was abit i didnt want to do as it would have dented all the sills and so on.

2 people in my truck decided they would watch me back and forward as i turned around. The person at the back with the best torch and bright reverse light, said yeah back back back come on loads of room smash!! There was a tree there.

Smashed the back window and the spare wheel holder ripped the metal, dented and creased the rear door.

After that he said " ooops i wasnt really looking "

Now thinking of maybe making the truck into a comercail van type and take the side windows out aswell. But leave all the seats in.

These are some pics of the truck in the garage before we did the track. Nice and muddy.

1. did you make your "navigator" walk home??

2. might be cheaper to spray your windows mud brown seeing you're practiced at driving with them like that! :D :D

This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here
