well what a nice wet muddy day it was....and I did not get stuck

lots of new faces and a lot of "old" faces.........

lots and lots of landrovers.......being TOWED out

and even a landrover coming IN on the back of a fronty

i did my little bit and "help'd" an old seris landy with its timing......he did not bring ANY tools with him
so an 11mm spanner later it was running again

look for the FIAT PANDA it was so

and the l200 "02/03" plate jacked up and on 35" bulldog tyres ...shame his clutch went

so here we go.....................

[alex]

That zook was mad.

Was a great day, hope everyone got back ok, there were a few sick Fronties at the end. Hopefully none serious. I dint take a single piccy but hey, you can tell from Barnies that it was a mud packed session.

Role on next meet.

p.s. Mrs Mucker aint gonna be happy with the new look RIP Mr Mucker it was nice knowing you....

[andyniagra]

Yeah it was a good day first time meeting you all and i dont think it will be the last

[Red Oktober]

Farley quarry is a good site ........ suitable for all types of 4x4

[john boy]

Cracking day out and the kids loved it just got to staem clean the truck inside and out then ready for the next one

[FUDDY MUCKER]

Super day out.

The only word to discribe todays was ........ EXTREME.

A lot of changes seem to have happened since last time we where there. A combination of a lot of rain, some obvious ground work using large earthmoving machines and us lot playing alot rougher than usual.

Just managed to limp home on 10.4 volts from the alternator at an average rev range of 4000 rpm and a top speed of 95 MPH.

Also, as BikerBarney kindly pointed out, minus a Cobra A bar, 2 Ring Spot lights and a number plate.

Oh well, The black eye will soon go down.

And it seems I was not the only casualty, just got a text message from Bobbinsjob which reads ........

" Broken Down at Milton Kenes, Alternator Dead !!!!, sent a reply back saying " Its not the only thing DEAD when it gets home !!!"

Then to top the day off, I also got a text message and phone call from Trugga, asking what time we will be arriving at the pub as he was waiting on the Car Park for us .........

Unfortunately, by this time we were mostly already at home, leaving Trugga all alone on the Car Park.

A few piccys and a Few Videos to come later, especially the 2 of KYLE, driving the truck.

[Red Oktober]

so ....all in all then ...not a very good finish to the day then ....

hope the swelling goes down soon

[alex]

Looks a very interesting day and Jay welcome to the bullbarless club

[brachunky]

Another fab day with a great bunch of peeps Most importantly,thanks guys for the collection towards Brandons people lift You guys are stars!!
What also made my day was the 'ol fronty ran perfectly even though I gave her the hardest workout yet Tried things I've never done before & even (stupidly!) went down a steep decline in second and gathered a bit too much speed Brought an old school mate with who really enjoyed the experience of being tossed around for a few hours Im amazed at how much confidence I have in me 'ol fronty
Cheers guys,great day out!....a few pics to follow

good piccys tho ....

[brachunky]

I nearly did the same as the one on its side, came up the slope to its right, as you crest its blind. Left hand side of the car tries to drop down to the left where he rolled and the right tries to go straight on towards the top right 3 cars. If you carry too much up it you fall into the hole, it wasnt like that last time, as Jase said someones been playing with a digger.

The one half way up a slope failed to climb and rolled back, one wheel lodged in a hole. Very nearly went over.

There were a lot of broken cars today, the last hour there werent more than a handful of cars still playing. The tracks were very rutted with a good inch of slime on top, lots of climb fails on relatively easy stuff and a group of players desperately trying to break cars. One pick up jumps to mind, litterally.

That said, everyone seemed very respectful of the others around them and there werent any near misses with others that I saw.

[bikerbarney]

got home ok(had to leave early-due to "guest" with me)....he was to see what we all get up to....and i WAS a good boy( )
and didn't get up to my "normal" things/stunts...but its all about having fun!!! and we all did

the normal "farley-mud" stopped my charging system....but i only live 20 miles away and i live 2 miles from work
so "hopefully" there should be a bit of charge to get me to work in the morning

glad that "we" didn't have and landrover-itus problems ......and just think BUILDWAS is a lot more EXTREAM
