Subject to getting the V6 prepped (only need my coil spring spacers really and a few hours to fit) I'll be there mate. It's only a 10 minute drive from my house so can meet you guy's at the A24 / A27 Junction or Hammerpot and head up from there if that's o.k.? Or your welcome to drop in for a cuppa

Well not the biggest turn out today but I think it's fair to say we all had a bit of laugh

Never been to Slindon before even though it is only a 10 minute drive from my house :oops:

but have to say it's a huge sight with lots of potential for those new to offroading but still with plenty of challenges even for those with purpose built crawlers.

Soon found the burger hut, just so we had a meeting point of course

Then the usual,"right where here so which way now"? chat

Then within 10 minutes of being on sight we began recovering Paul (Mapracing) which actually turned into a bit of a theme of the day

Which Steve threw himself into

Who needs a winch when you've got a Steve ?

Paul managed to snap a drive shaft and there where a few minor scuffs & scrapes but nothing too bad. Unfortuantely my 4 Wheel Drive packed up (think the vacume hoses have had it) so I was a bit limited in what I could do with only rear wheel drive but still managed to scrape most of the paint of that car :shock:

Look like a good day guys....shame that the li'll white leafer wouldnt survive the journey let alone the offroadin...bearing in mind it aint lifted I reckon I would have lost it in some of them ruts you pictured!

How did Stevie 2muchs new axle do? and gutting about your 4wd Mark, but hopefully its just a simple hose replacement job...

Did Pete find some different trees to get up close and personal with???

So Paul suffered his first breakage with the Gregster special front diff...how did it do though with its locker up front???

Gutted I couldnt join ya, but see you all soon...
