Jos Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hi, I'm Jos and am new to the South West and the off road scene. I've got a RR Classic / SWB Land Rover hybrid (which isn't a total shed!) and am keen to get it dirty - laning or on play days. If there's anyone in the local area who wouldn't mind me tagging along with them I'd be really grateful if they'd get in touch. Similarly, if there's anyone local who fancies meeting up for a beer please drop me a line. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hi Jos and welcome to the forum. I suggest you get along to Wellington on Saturday (X-eng challenge event) and meet some of the local guys - there are quite a number of us from the SW area.

Jos Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hi Chris, Thanks for that. I'd heard about the event but can't make it as I have a job interview. Please let me know if there's anything else going on soon. Thanks, Jos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hi Jos glad to hear things are going well did OEC sort the viscous? Come along on Sat if you can spare the time and watch the event. i will be around all day if you want a chat you will get to meet a fair few from the area then and some some from much further afield, some even come from Bristol but we try to keep away from them......

Projectblue Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Hello and welcome Jos. Hi Jos, Welcome. I need to do some lanes around here myself. If Honiton Hobbit hasn't become a dad yet, we could arrange something. I work in Exeter so you might see the 90 bobbing around. If you can't make Wellington, then check the dates for JST drive around days. He has some good days out. Good luck with the interview btw Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pugwash Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 and suitable for all vehicles too- completely bog standard ones can find some interesting non damaging routes too. it's always a good laugh socially and you're pretty much guaranteed to have fun- if you have money to burn i'd buy a CB for the truck as social events are so much more fun when you can take the tiddle out of JST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 thanks Jim - hes right though and when you get bored of that you can ask Jim when his trucks likely to be finished and what still needs to be done. this will help you sleep as well.

JST Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 forgot to say - Jos has a very smart hybrid. Rangie chassis with series and def body running 200tdi, very well put together. it may need some more protection from those campsite midges though!
