  1. ive snapped my chassis so will be going over to a 100" disco one then i can faff to my hearts content
  2. good approach and departure angles are vital do abit of co driving and you will see why. rocks, trees ditches infact anything to do with challenges the less infront of the wheels the better. on my new build i will be moving the body back 2" as thats all it needs to get good approach angle without moving axles ect as your then into altering steering box and panhard rod positions. will it be a road going car as thats your biggest issue. if not the go for it and do what you think is best for you and your car dan
  3. i really really really hope paul isnt evil enough to put us in nobbys bog !! have you been down to see how deep it is ?
  4. bob are we ok to drive onto the field and unload or do you want us to unload on the hardcore then park up ?
  5. not long now hows the ground looking bob ? lucy my co driver will be Damon Tomkinson. barry gee will have alan web and jon hoole will have rhys hardy see you sunday dan
  6. just makesure you stay off the grass with the bus, the site is a nightmare to get on and off in the dry let alone if its abit wet. bob has put a hardcore track in uptop so your best to stay on that. the road and entrance is pretty narrow but you should be fine as its not as tight as it was at tuff terrains to get in and out. pm bob (treebloke) for instructions though as it is a working field still. see you there
  7. well its not going to be mr slim " twiggy " booth is it bob if you pair are together then im following you all day just to laugh at you it'll be just like watching the chuckle brothers to me, to you ...
  8. give me a shout if you struggle ill nip around to help you
  9. ive got that much spare time with the car that ive sinned and joined team " show n shine " ffs whats the world coming too !! boothy even washed his with a sponge ! cant picture it being a wet t-shirt comp though with him leaning over the bonnet more like re float the whale competition ......
  10. are you coming saturday for the social crack j did you sort your 24v out ? my headsets are all sorted now cheers for lending me yours :-)
  11. well the car is all ready to be loaded up a whole week before the event which is unusual for me twiggy can you please change my co driver to damon tomkinson please will we have the pleasure of you camping or will you be taking the nancie route to a hotel ? see you at the weekend dan
  12. god help us if he can get lost on the motorway heading towards glasgow then we are certainly b******* if he has got to find his way through welsh country lanes
  13. come on guys, the event is just over a week away and its silent on here !! whos going then ? whos still got there car in bits ? biggest question of them all though..... can boothy make it without running out of kin fuel !! or without filling up with petrol instead of diesel. see you all there dan
  14. did you, or did you not return home with a trophy after that day at kirton with me ? thats more than you normally achieve, usually you can only manage to send smoke signals for the in coming rescue party to put you back onto your ******g wheels as usual . mike, them sheep really are nailing you too hard, its made your sense of humour go from bad to worse. you need to retire back to scotland, mainly to attract all the midges down to dumfries to save me being bitten this weekend, because lets face it, theres less off me but they arnt going to go after twiggy are they, he will be too busy gyrating back onto his wheels. anyway, im off to my nice bed.....hows the settee twiggy ? sniffle, cough , cough
  15. twiggy, i think you'll find its you that needs educating not james
  16. bob, do you want us to leave trailers and tow cars on the top field next to the gate ? or are we ok once unloaded to drive down ? do you want us to use the bottom entrance to the camping field instead of the top one which will be a nightmare with this weather. for people that have never been, its a mare in the dry let alone wet see you saturday dan
  17. at least you havent set me up with my comp no boothy i was expecting the worst
  18. shoot me down but the best solution i came up with was auto. transformed my car and i'd never go back
  19. also the car doesnt have anti roll bars its a 200tdi converted to td5
  20. it does no offroading what so ever, thats what my challenge truck is for. this car is simply my daily drive and tows my comp truck some times what spring colours are best to go for ? as daft as it sounds i was going to fit some fox bypass shocks or similar
  21. its my std road car so dont really play with it much. the suspension was fitted when i braught it but its driving me nuts now as to the bone shaking ride. im just after other peoples opinions as to what works. doesnt matter on price i just want a better ride and to feel more confident with it at speed
  22. i know its most likely been done to death but what can people reccomend spring wise to give descent ride quality aswel as good handling its a td5 but has no arb's fitted its currently on either a +2 or hd springs which id good for towing and good at shaking you apart cheers dan
  23. its just a plug james remove it as d/d said and work it until its free hardest part is getting the throttle arm back on whilst keeping the plastic spacers located right along with the return spring
  24. the problem these days though si is people just love to crack stuff. you stand the chance of spending hours devaloping a good idea only for someone to buy it, find out how it works, crack it then it gets leaked out and its game over. the best bet is to add your own device's or security features that only you, the owner knows about. thats what i have done.....and its nothing above theres still other things to cheat. its still the age old problem, if there going to take it, its going no matter what, all you can do is slow them down with mechanical devices where they have to make a noise to crack it. or, electric fence the bugger....they will only touch it once.
