Didn't hear that

Anyone know?

read it on D4x4

I best get busy in workshop then you'll have some stuff to Finnish your truck with,
Carl.

Just need the wheels splitting, dont worry about radius arms, I am using disco 2 now.

Busy in the workshop Carl ?

Just got to rewire the full injection sysyem and get the Megasquirt running, rebuild the back suspension and paint the new doors (which have'nt arrived yet),

rewire the lights and winches

fit the new hockey sticks and all new brakes, including changing some flat brake pipes,

drill the wheels for the beadlockers and get them zinc dipped,

talk her into letting me have new tyres instead of carpets (that's the hard one),

See you in September

John you are the second person to ask me that but i have to say its not me as my journey home trouble free. The Disco is in with Gwyn Lewis till the weekend (thanks for the effort Gwyn) then time for a quick MOT and i will be back after my "short summer break " from last year. Thanks for the concern. JF.

Best of luck there Twiggy........

Just waiting for the paint to dry Not that my carefully handpainted bodywork is going to last long

Well added the wheel spacer's to the front, much better now i've got some steering lock back quick blast around the road to bed the brake's in and then a quick handbrake adjust. All ready now for action

Adrian recheck those wheel nuts

good point Tony

Whey hey....

Megasquirt now up and running (just a lot rich at the mo but we can sort that),

How deeps this water ????????????

Watch out boys this duck can swim,,,, or should swim,,,,,or may swim ,,,,, just watch out,,,, it could sink!!!

We may see the tip of your aerial if you drive in the wrong place

Well at least we will know where to send the air/sea rescue helicopter

Just found this photo from a cople of years ago. I think he was in that hole for 2 hours

That he was....

What a fantastic looking entry list

This really is going to be one hell of a year

Can't wait for it to start

Jim

Whats happend to Chris & Nick Bolt? I thought they would be back again this year.
Ive cleaned my truck, just got to strip the old wiring loom out and make a new one other than that im ready

They're building a new truck for Modified class....

With all this nice weather we're having Ok, a bit of rain i bet all you V8 boy's can't wait to get stuck into Slab, as it's quite a dry place at the best of time's

Job's left to do remove old sticker's

Water!,

V8,

who cares?

does it make a difference?

NEW Simex (and no new carpet),

whats all the fuss about?

Jobs left

see if this Megasquirt will run?

and will it stand water?

I quite like being a marshall anyway

How'd you work that one Must have forgot about burning the washing Don't forget your tent

Can you spectate at these events?

almost forgot where is round 2?

Dave

Yes and round 2 is at Corwen North Wales

I should have gone to slab its only down the road from my place!

Dave.

And R3 is in Wales too

Im not sure if were gona let you over the border yet Mr Turner ! Then again, If your map reading for the Travel lodge is anything to go by you'll never find us!!!!

Can we have some events over the other side of the country, I know it is flat over here but the ditches are deep

Gladly, you find me the sites, I'll organise the events.

I did just as well at the JST event's special stage

Well the snow has melted so i thought i had better get out on the drive to do a bit of repairing and i have noticed that i am missing a double bright yellow 10mm back to back hook joined with a 10mm figure of eight jointer. Has anyone picked it up from the top end of Slab? It was conspicuous by the brightness of the yellow hooks as they were new spares only recently put together. Thanks
John Fair
