I hope to have my Farrs bars fitted by then its just down to wether Blunders uses up all the credits down at SAW
-
oh yeah jase you getting REALLY good at BITCHIN
You should see the large punnet of forest fruits he managed to pick Lard.
Excellent event Russ Thanks very much for the combined efforts of yourself and your marshalls.
I now need some Farrs Bars after a tree went into me. To be honest I think it was down to my bitch, some people will do anything to get there products on the market. With ethics like that I'm suprised they dont come in Orange.

I find the inference that the AWDC in someway cheated to win the Interclub rather insulting.
It was 19 weeks previous that we ran a challenge on the same site, We didn't pick the site the original organiser Nigel Woodhead picked and booked it.
Further, I deliberately allowed each club the opportunity to set out 10 of the 60 punches so there could be no accusation of interference and I especially made sure that the AWDC drivers had no hint from me as to where my 10 punches were.
Still, if JST or anyone else does organise an event this year I'm sure the AWDC will be there to defend their honour.
Perhaps if a British team wins the EuroChallenge they will also be accused of cheating as it will be on 'home ground'.
I didn't mention the AWDC.

Lardy I have a lovely recipe for Jam if you want to borrow it.
The problem you will have is that your driver needs you a bit too much to get him out of trouble.
Myself I chose a driver who can just get on with it thus giving me time to pick blackberries and other soft fruits
-
Entry fee to be be confirmed very shortly.
No Interclub from me, hopefully someone else will take up the gauntlet this year. Bruce Turner from MOC was murmuring about it
I hope someone takes it on as it was a good event
I nominate James ST as his events are consistently good and very challenging.
Maybe it can be held on a site that has not been previously used a couple of weeks before by one of the competing teams so that they cant hide there punches thus allowing mainly there own team to find them??????
-
I imagine that, like with a lot of things, it depends more on who you know than how fast you get your application in.
Chris
Chris surely your not suggesting foul play????????
Next you will be saying the winner has already been chosen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I take it from that reply that you know you've got a place then jim?
I did wonder that myself when I read that last night but then I thought no surely not as the entry list is not being released until today!!
-
Ade, its all about 'leccy jackets. Mmmmmmm.
The only reason I've got the heater is to demist the windscreen. I'll probably ditch it and get a heated one instead.
Ady has me armed with a chamois for demisting
Looks like we all get to have a few beers now, Cant get many cans in the trayback but not to worry Andy Blunsden has a large fridge in his 90,oh and a microwave, shaver socket , hair drier, gps, fish finder , you name it , it`ll proly be in there.Latest is he has an onboard weigher just incase VOSA are about. a Tassimo coffee maker so we will be ok for a morning latte machiato. Vanity mirror, fondu set, cuddly toy, selection of wines and glasses and thick red shag carpet.
-
i was going to buy one but i,m to tight i,ll just borrow cidermans
You'll have to get in before Blunders Lardy
-
Yeh no problem I wouldn't expect you to change the results. I will get the card from the car when I go to the yard on Monday (It's been abandoned)
Anyone know for a good steering box??????????
Or how much a new one is
-
Thanks James.
Great site shame we didnt last long (11:30 to be exact). However we did have about 2hrs of winching to get from where the steering box broke back out to the main track. A big thanks to Steve Gittins for towing us back to the car park(Oh and congrats).
We did get about 7 punches but we didn't get the card taken off before we leave
James I know the points wont count but if I list which punches we got could you give us an idea of how many points we would of got?
-
Google Earth - my arse! In fact i think most of the competitors know the site from CSW or BDB events.
And Lardy - dont go chopping the trees down, you need them to stay upright! (in and out of the vehicle!!!)
But do they know where the punches will be
-
And a pair of waders!!!
How do you know that waders will be needed Jason ?
Have you seen the site?
-
Steering box drop arm nut 1 5/16", no idea what that is in new money.
33mm fits Danny
-
Sounds like a good plan I will tune up so that we can play name that tune to my snoring
-
James
got your message mate thanks for that
-
The problem is the obvious person to drive the get away bus would be Blunders but he cant drive his finger up his **s
-
Jas.
You, me and steve could do a remake of the Italian job with our colour coded traybacks
-
we could tell you from the locals as they all sound like Jethro
-
Brilliant event, thanks to Russell and Lewis.
We had trouble with someone trying to push in aswell he was in a white trayback and he talked like a farmer.
He had a portly chap bitching for him I think his name was Roland. They should be banned from the next event to teach them a lesson
-
all excuses... And you guys wont change either because say europe union and shedloads of people are start to shout again ending up in 3 pages of banter, very off topic. Sometimes I wonder why I made the trip to your country; you guys complain but wont change. sorry, Thought its my turn for a rant.
Anyway, Malaysia is 13 hours from heathrow, to ship the car out there takes about 3 weeks. the event is 10 days, so with a bit of jetlagging and looking around in KL -A beer tastes so good with the temperatures over there- you've had a nice two weeks away with some great holiday pics (if your camera is resistant to 100%humidity), while the people back home are in the middle of some snowstorm in the uk.
Daan
Well said my Dutch friend.
The easiest thing to do is find 3 teams, share a 13.6m container get orf yur arses and go it is awesome but the event changes from year to year depending on weather conditions so even though there is a plan anything can happen.
Even though there is no rainforest as such in Portugal the event is ran along the same lines as Malaysia you travel a route marked at intersections by tape, clearing obstacles as you go, we didn't have to build bridges on the routes but we did build the bridge shown in the RFC Portugal thread going down into the river so that we could run the SS, we also had an SS on a building site in the centre of Villa De Rai which was a 20 min DNF and half way around the course you had to build a bridge and dismantle it after the car was accross there are timed SS along the route during the day and you camp at night.
One main differance in Portugal is that due to the fire hazard we had food brought to us at night as we couldn't have fires.
Both events are very tiring but thats what its all about. One day in Malaysia we had a night SS that finished around 4 in the morning we left the camp about 9am on a transport stage through the jungle which included winching for hours on end we eventually reached camp 7am the following morning and had an SS down a river at 9
The same in Portugal we started Saturday morning ran a speed SS during the day had a couple of hours at the camp then drove to Villa De Rai for the SS in the town which started about 10pm and went on until about 5am then started again at 9am had 2 SS during the day (one included the winchman running about 400m down a rocky hill followed by the car around a marker then back up to the start/finish box) at the end of the day we had prize giving which went on until after midnight then we left the hotel at 1:30am and drove to Santander almost non stop (Which side of the road should I be driving on
)Like it says on the label CHALLENGE.
and as this is a Landrover forum 1 life Live it

What is all the fuss about? Looks just like driving Strata Florida to me!
Ah, my coat, thanks.
Chris
Chris have you ever tried running up strata florida being chased by a Mad (but not crazy) Englishman with nearly 300 horses under his right foot Believe me you are praying for the rocks to get big enough to stop him.
What you didn't see is that after the video clip finished and I was putting the strap around a rock to pull the car forward Adrian pulled a fish out of the car and the crowd gave an almighty roar I looked around to see what was going on and fell into the river again to great delight of the crowd. I spoke to Adrian today and he said they found another fish this morning under the drivers seat.
Thanks to everyone for all the congrats and to D-90 you say we were a success with the Portuguese I would like to tell you that the Portuguese are a real success with us. We were unsure at first how we would get on but the competitors and spectators were very welcoming, friendly and very helpful
The event was brilliant and I would advise anyone who wishes to do an event allong the lines of the RFC to enter RFCPortugal It has transport stages, bridge building, team spirit stages and it's alot cheaper.
We will definatley be back to enter other events in Portugal
There will be an officiall dvd out soon plus you can view photos at the following link http://maxtt17.photosite.com/Album2/?page=17
