tuko Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I have no idea who's landy this is. BUT, it's got me thinking, this forum should have a "Members Ride" section. Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landi41 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 A clue just incase ...He competed at Slindon on sunday... in the AWDC Scorpian Winch Challenge. I'd guess that winch hook came flying back rather quickly What were the circumstances ? (for future reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigster Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 nope - nothing to do with the winch hook, More a case of driving down a slippery slope a little faster than expected.. and hitting a tree rather hard at the bottom , which in turn dented the snorkel and twisted it round a little, smashing the windscreen surround and screen.

Les Brock Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Mmmmmm Lets see.....ermmm and just who was driving when all this happened...... Bearing in mind I was at the top of the hill, recovering from the H14 managing to snap a 8 inch thick tree which managed to hit me on the way down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigster Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 Ahhh yes, the tree - very amusing that was... along with you being the winch bitch for the special stage... very amusing... get a little out of breath did you...

VeryDisco Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hey Les - I never damaged your truck when I drove it! I must be a better driver than Pigster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigster Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 The scary part is that he wanted me to drive the special stage as well (directly after this incident) - so I did, and got a few extra points Luckily I had spares for Les to have, so no one is having to spend a fortune to fix the issues, apart from the extra army lights required, reverse light, steering bash guard and tracking bar and two new arials (never noticed them go) and er... new wing... (well should bash out to something slightly less inverted) Other than that I didn't break anything. IT WAS HIM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Brock Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Nige, Sorry just noticed the question about the engine.. Yep in ran superbly well, and is continuing to do so...thankfully Fitted the new screen and surround today.....and I dont want to be fitting another one, you name it, it was in the way, (old frame is well and truly stuffed) The wing can stay as it is, the lights...er well..the lights.. all I need to do now is weld some brackets to stop the snorkle swinging round and taking this screen out as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Turner Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Hi Les, I did warn you about Pigster's driving style You now know why I do all the driving Do you want him for Slab or do Iget him back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 scorpion racing gloves for best newcomer ROTFLMFAO He'd be so thrilled, or is it speechless Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 and who was driving when it went wrong... spot the problems... Les I think I have some spare lamps like the one you've bust here. I only needed the glass lamp piece when mine got smashed. I'll look them out if you want one. I can post it to you this week Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigster Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 Hi Les,I did warn you about Pigster's driving style You now know why I do all the driving Do you want him for Slab or do Iget him back I blame the vehicle setup... low ratio first gear was rather quicker than I thought it should be... my motor wouldn't of sped off like that... mental note : next time use the winch to lower us down - -slightly more control that way, and less damage At least the windscreen is now in, thats good news.. time for slab then Les I promise I will just run around this time... like Adrian makes me do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
