  1. againist the speed bans, Jim Bet you are take that away & you are Proper F***ed just like DE Germans
  2. I run an under drive with mine & just run in high range with the under drive engaged it gives me roughly the same speed as a standard LR in low box & **** me about 1 mph in low & low !!But that does depend on what size tyres you run really. For what its worth ive got a modified LT230 ,a 3 speed 350HP & 44 Boggers & it semms to hold up ok but then i am a careful technical driver I am still looking at having a set of ring & pinions made for mine they are quoting approx £1500 a full set for 10 sets if we can get enough people interested i will have 2 sets. Also spoke to Atlas Requesting a box to fit my truck & they advised me if i did the mods to the LT230 i have then it would be comparible strenght to the Atlas?? Peter
  3. Three peaks should be good, can you book the bridal penthouse for me and Coral so i have something to do when i get back early and your still playing in the woods Jim COME on Jim dont give in so quick your truck might make it though the day if we leave the Kenetic on
  4. As it happens i do carry a spare now ok its a 42" Irok space saver & a 44 in the Van Cant wait for later this year Tay August Proper **** Jim about 3 times as we lap him September CSW Proper **** Jim as a waffle board October 3 peaks Team Portal have a given Jim a special license to compete .The wifes are driving so he should be able to keep up if not cant wait for the talk in the pub each night Baskils Well hopefuly hes bringing the wife so a bit like TAY & CSW we should all get a proper ****
  5. Hope the trees are 8ft apart or we will be making Devon look like Tay Bonus Jimbo the Waffle board is going Is there anything in the rules that states we cant drive on another team if they are in the way ??? As long as we dont drive on there winch rope I have looked & cant see it in the rule book.
  6. Ring Alfred Murray the R-Type bloke he sold me the uprated ZF pump for my V8 {5.0l TVR but its the same front as a 3.9 i believe} that was a direct {almost} swap for the original . I have full hydro & 44s & it works fine. Peter
  7. Chris can you mail an entry form / put us down for it Thanks Peter
  8. Glad to see team waffle board is on it Alan I do love Marsden
  9. However IMHO there is no excuse for going out laning on Simex's. They casue unacceptable damage to the ground, and if the terrain of the lanes are such that you need simex to get through the lane, then quite frankly you shouldnt be driving them! The anti's have more than enough ammunation to use against us at the moment! Jon Must agree if you ahve a truck with lockers ,Simex [ ] etc then why would you want to green lane it other than sight seeing ?????? If its sight seeing then a standard 90 on ATs will do it if its for play then pay & play at the right place!!!! Personally i used to love laning & to be honest because it was at the time challenging Since i started comps the idea of laning is laughable in anything other than my wifes Hummer .In a well sorted {ok that excludes the Tub} challenge truck i would even need to engage the lockers on any lane i have driven in the UK let along winch it . Plus as its been said if you do need to then you shouldnt be there HOWEVER In Surrey in general the only lanes that are clear are the ones that a driven regularly ,stop driving them &n they soon become unpassable even to walk & then the only truck capable of driving them is a challenge truck unless the council clear the lane
  10. Makes me laugh So SATs are ok then ?????? What about TSL Swampers they are the same pattern as a MT almost. Boggers ?????? Surely if they are going to make rules then the EXACT pattern should be specified not just ban Diamond for instance. Same here Adrian if one group want to restict themselves to Ats let them that why we mainly complete abroad now. Look at COR events one minute anything other than a 90 on Mts would be allowed & we where all a bit worried about our trucks ! Know most people arnt interest in them type of events .Which to me shows people want bigger ,louder, less pc trucks !!Horses for course really But whatever
  11. [permit the loading of the next round from the magazine which enables fully automatic fire. It is surprising how much damage can be caused (at close range) with a blank round though! Yer thats bad i never removed them when i was in the Army Chris you where lucky we used to just sling a Thunder flash in the back as you went passed
  12. Yes the speedo is as well ???? i thought it strange .But saying that when it got delivered it had LH drive mirrors on a RH drive car Mind you it has beaten BMW ,Mercs ,LR & porsches record with us it hasnt broken down yet
  13. So do the wind ups !!!!Anyone with Jims mobile please text him thanking for the invite to his for a BBQ on sataurday ;D I love winding him up !!!!!!!!
  14. Latest update They are all setup at the camp site & enjoying a spit roast with Fiona whilst watching all the other competitor come.
  15. Ok then so its only 4K klimoteres under not too bad then .But it is a full Uk spec Rh drive car .Why it says miles in the manual when you can only read KM on the speedo i dont know Guess i should mention the light came on at 10k to them should i Its is still 6 months early & 1/3 under the miles due though !!!!!
  16. Just a quick question for all you legally minded bods. The wife has a Hummer H3 its 6 months old & done 12k Kilometeres The manual says 1 year or 10k MILES for service Approx 20k kilometers??? I have spoken to Hummer & basically it tough i have to pay for a service now Anybody got a comment on that . Landrover a fast enough to get slatted !!! Thanks Bathtub
  17. Firstly i would like to wish Jim & Stefan best of luck out there !!! Spoke to them yesterday & they had just arrived. But you must bare with me on this one but my Geography isn't too good but i just spoke to Jim & Stefan had rolled his 90 in a gully in Germany ??? I thought the event was in Croatia? Plus apparently last night he got his back wheels stuck in Fiona ??Where is Fiona Thanks Team Bath Tub
  18. Just got this mail from Andy Chaplin. I am driving the Tomcat & Charlie is co driving ?????? {dont know what has happened there Andy was co-driving for Alloy sport in his Tom Cat & charlie was co-driving for Simon Walton}. The Waltons rolled there car 3 days ago we have 4 blown shocks but are doing well . Thats all ive heard . Peter
  19. The 1st Video is how we did it Well sort of put the piccy up ZAV!!
  20. Alan, Jimbo has been invited For a good reason ! Imagine this End of day 1 the girls are in the bar {they are driving we are co-driving} Coral ------ That section we drove was challenging & quite technical Becky !!! Becky---- Which 1 was that ???? THe 1 Jim had to winch Cant wait LOL
  21. Andy & i will make her come if you like On her 3 peaks !!!
  22. Whats the easiest way to enter then ??? cant be bothered with all the entry stuffy the Wookie normaly does it but the lucky person I'm not that keen on is in Morocco at the Mo
  23. Best ask me nicely about next year as Andy & i have been asked to choose the 5 UK cars Cherry picked the Ultimate you mean as we wernt there Croatia is a definate next year you???? Portugal ummmmm !!!! Tay ,3 peaks ,Baskill all between August & October you met the wife I know you met the sister
  24. No it was a spectator that got stuck in the Bogger Lug & flicked up on the Arch Sorry yes. Each vehicle had a marshal 30 Odd i think. There where 5 groups of sections which had its own cheif marshal & then there was a Master Marshal controlling them all . This meant no queing or waiting plus after day 2 the top 3 trucks got priority on section choice cool if you where top 3 but a bit of a ****ter if you where just in 4th. Croatia next year got it in writing from the missus as well !!!
