white90 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 the first one is always the worst..... on my defender it was a winch training day in an Exeter wood a short drive in a branch jumped up and dented the side panel. after that it has all been a blur the worst so far was the winch challenge at Hawkchurch where a wayward stump punched the headlight out taking the wing with it... I'm left with a 90 that only has a drivers side wing dent free. Wales/Exmoor/France/West Sussex have been the main causes for the demise. any intresting stories and even better pics???? below is my latest addition: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Where's Will? I bet he could write a book, assuming he can remember where all the dents came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exmoor Beast Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 I am here, risk of RSI prevents a comprehensive reply I will stick to Roof damage: worst damage at some forestry land in Somerset setting up sections for the Exmoor Challenge, a bit of red mist saw me reverse too fast and I hit a tree even though Tony was screaming at me to stop. DOH. N/S damage near the alpine light was reversing out from actually driving to a punch at Slindon then sliding against a stubborn tree. This was the birth of my rollcage design. Several other miscellaneous dents on the roof are due to me walking on it for all manner of reasons. Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 (check my avatar) ehhh... roof damage? Just a bit, after landing on its roof 3 times it was not too bad actually! And I go through s3 wings about once a year, but these were only one week old! Anyway, She is now back together now, looking like a landy again, but with about 5 colours.

Jon White Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Sir put full right hand lock on whilst going off a steep drop off.............he claims the ground broke away........but I blame the driver........... Only good thing about it was the fact that we looked at each other and said "better do the harnesses up i suppose" shortly before going over it........... Good job too!

jules Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Dents mmmmmmmmmmm I winched the 90 along a gully on its drivers side at the Inch by Inch challange last year. at the Slindon challange My now Wife was my co-driver and I was under orders that I was to follow her between a bunch of tree's my radio comments that the 90 would not fit didn't work with her competitive spirit so after the odd tree gave way I managed to follow her.

Will's truck is a shiny anyway, what are you on about so is Tony's I'm lost Tony I can sell you a roof with a matching dent on the other side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chalkie52 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 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?
