  3. have a landrover sat in my yard with a dyna 60 in the front and a 14 bolt ford in the back i see if i can get some photos up
  4. ccda is the oz way of doing it but they just change the rules to suit who’s in vogue at the time take the 2006 outback the winning car was on tyres to big so they changed the rules!!!! as for a rule book I am all for it but there the problem lies if the MSA get hold of it my cars will be up for sale and I will build a ladoga car As for UK comps I have never seen a tyre gauge at an event you take CSW in the rules it states 36" tyre max yet we all know the fedima is 36.5" on a 16x8 rim but the tyre is £90 cheaper than a simex!! (this is not a dig at CWS) now we get to the root of the problem in that different people have different budgets and some have to buy and bolt on some produce there own an some pay for others to build none of these options are wrong there just choice. I was lucky enough to spend a few days driving the Bathtub an it’s fantastic and I would love to own it (Pete are you there) and there are other wonderful cars out there been used and produced at this very moment. the way I see it is the our sport is evolving quickly at the moment and I don’t see where it is going to end up but the debate of what we should be building will be open until a organisation is developed and signed up to. Out of interest how many cars compete in the UK?

  17. but my team mate 4 MT may not agree if rummers are to be belived
  18. "i am a driving god" he repeated today on the phone and lets be honest no one is as fast as pod
  19. the story with these bulkheads is that some cleaver people search landrover parts book for brackets/washers/screws in the bulkheads case order a certan bracket on the bulkhead this part cost's a £10 and hay presto you recive the hole bulkhead for free!!!!!!!! it also happened with 4 pin diffs brand new complete diff form landrover £30 you just pay for some small part of it lots of people where having a good time out of these parts you just find a helpfull parts man in landrover dealership and at the end of the day he's doing no wong
  20. Well said jim Being lucky enough to compete in events in Malaysia and Australia and knowing how to hold a car together for more than a day smashing it around trees and fitting new panels as a weekly occurrence I choose not to enter scorpion challenge events and to be honest hunt the punch has never really had much interest to me ether Nor aerial runways!!!! (join the TA if you fancy assault courses) As Jim say’s adventure is the way forward for me the bulldog was a out standing event GPS, speed across open ground, and importantly work as a team and enjoy the event. Muddy Truckers is another fine event though I have not competed there myself all you here is praise from a field of formidable competitors. Argyle (well done bath tub and bryn) is the other event I will get around to doing same again a good entry and a strong event long may it stand. Three peaks in Ireland you will not find better off roading although not a comp its very competitive in the teams and I would put the off roading up there with Malaysia. CSW put on some great events and anyone who wants a good 1day/2day comp should try it But as for a class system it don’t bother me I will happily compete against portal axles I have and I don’t see a advantage but big tyres is a different problem 36/37 inch tyres are fine and you can fit them under a standard 90 (for arguments sake) without big mods to body work Personally pod has the right ideal a armoured TOM CAT its light it has a good set up and a good driver that knows his car he can also hit/rub trees with out re panelling his car He can to scorpion events or the adventure type events and he doesn’t have silly damage every week I just wanted to do scorpion type challenge events I would by a old modified trailer and stick some winches on it dumper tyres and watch the complaints roll in. On a lighter note I think MOG light is fantastic and I can’t wait to watch it compete Yes its great to win and great to support others in wining But remember we do this for fun Regards Andy

  22. just had a chat with some guys who where there and yes pete and bryn came 1st we are never going to shut him up now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! those 42" tyres must work
  23. i went on saturday i new the people who where crewing for ian rosselle he was leading the fia class by 8mins on sat night but dont no how they finished it wasnt very well attended but lets hope it comes back next year
  24. Yes Jim that’s a gods winch [as in spirit ] Its amazing people have lost limbs and just the other week a co driver had his leg broken when he didn’t get out of the way fast enough aloo a Malaysian guy who developed it has the use of this winch down to a fine art now dann on here has seen it and him in action pod has the video clips of this winch you have to watch it 3 times to believe what you are seeing
