Just got home now after being out night laning up Alton/Petersfield way... Went under a pikey bar slowly as it looked quite low... Heard a slight scrape and thought "Ah well, I'll make it under" Un-beknown to me there was no padlock holding it locked shut... so the bar swung, pivoting on the roof and pulled the vertical padlocky bit straight through the front screen narrowly missing me little 'bro... Gonna take the the disc cutter + metal blade up there tommorow and get some PAYBACK!!! Anyone got a spare 90 front screen in the Hampshire area? (for sale) Dave

Hmmm, Completley forgot to post... and did'nt honestly think that we got that much interest from here.. Many apologies!!! - Should be a good day for any that make it tho... and will try and make it a couple of weeks in the future... Dave

...Should have pushed the "Check post" button... .......Sunday the 16th of October...... Is it too late to edit me post/title? Cheers Post amended as above, cheers..

Playday on Sunday 16th October Solent and District Landrover Club have organised a playday at Brick Kiln Farm on the A31 between Alton and Peterfield. Grid ref. is SU690367. The site is open from 1000am and will stay open to 1600pm'ish. There will be a burger van on site.

All new members must adhere to the existing club rules that they must be in a rangerover/landrover and the vehicle must be road legal. (tax, insurance, etc..) The site itself is quite a good one and there is guaranteed to be lots of mud following the recent rain. Half the site is set on an old motorbike scrambling track with lumps, bumps, and puddles.. and the other half is set in a wooded area that has two large "bomb-holes" deep-rutted tracks, and some hilly-droppy bits... The site can be used by all.. Damage may/can be possible.. It just depends on how far you take it.. Any queries/directions/problems pls call me, Dave White on 07974202742
