How are you geting on with these tyres ? What do they handle like (in the wet) and have they worn much ?

This should be true, but the DVLA wouldn't give me my Q plate until an MOT certificate had been provdided, then they changed the certificate to include the new reg number

Strange, mine did

Glad to here you got it sorted, enjoy the rest of your trip ? I did see you parked outside Lewis' place, but was too busy to come over and chat

Number 14 is Nick and Darren (IIRC) , Les B is just out of sight too Number 15 is Bish being towed out (again ) by Milli Graham in his snow cat B)

I'm sitting here waiting for some glue to dry on the 50" landy, better than watching it

Number 2 is JST at 7S, J33P July 2006 Number 8 is Tim Jones going up Lane from hell, i think that was the weekend of the Forum Wales bash which was in Feb IIRC Number 13 Is Fruity and me at 7S J33P July 2006 Number 14 is Nick Walker at 7S J33P July 2006 Number 15 is Bish at 7S J33P I'm guesing Nov 2004 ? Number 16 is Rouge at 7S J33P July 2006

But you were sensible enough not to go under here Glad you got going ok James

yeah I've just worked out why it decided not to give any more as the evening went on, the irregular power supply has fried it's brain Good excuse to upgrade and do another pimping job

I've got a hybrid defender which i built to incorporate some of the best features of the land rover range. 1)Range Rover chassis for a stable on road ride, and a good compromise between the 90 and 110 off road 2)The defender bodywork as this doesn't rot (apart from the bulhead and door frame ) like the disco/rangy 3)Discovery TDi engine and transmision for reliablity/strength/enconomy 4)More loadbed space than a 90 (those extra few inches make a big difference) It suits my needs perfectly, a resonably comfortable road car, economical, capable off road, plenty of load space and it should last a few years.

Well i had a great weekend, nice to meet up with a load of friends, and see some fantastic machinery in action. A few of the piccies i took over the weekend Open to captions for the last one

Done a very tidy job there B) I bet it doesn't leak as much as my newly installed on board air system though

I've just finished fitting my MK2 temporary dash ready for this weekend, plenty of room for more switches and dials though

Same here, BBC weather forecast reckons 40mph

Starting here in Wales too, not had a good storm in a while now, can't wait

Some cracking pics there lads, looks like fun was had by all B)

I've run them on LWB 5.5" for a couple of years, no problems

The more i think about it, the more i realise i've still got a load of stuff i want/need to get done on the landy before the weekend not helped by the rain outside

a ton each end

I think i'll have to get one, the one they gave me in work is held together with duck tape and needs a good clout to work ocasionally

I've mounted my compressor for the ARB in the roof On the pasengers side, right at the rear corner of the hard top, in the radius of the roof line, It's fixed onto a bit of 12mm ply, and bolted to the underside of the gutter using 4 bolts. If it gets wet / muddy up there i'm in big trouble

Another way to hold the two rear bolts is to use a pair of clothes pegs

Just about
