pigster Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 i could probably squeeze a few seconds off if i get fit.... and learn to drink a few beers without being sick... but at least we all know that you can go for a p*ss and throw up in one go and not get anything on your boots. that takes practise. bet carrys over to west harptree. since you're too chicken to come to kirton!!! good good, as harptree last time I rolled him over 4 times..

alan kemp Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Typical, Everyone else drives it without fuss but Turner has to make hard work of it ! Drove that backwards, not intentionally mind, finished in the box after the rope snapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathtub Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Great Weekend for us again, we loved the mud run and the special stages were good fun, the highlight for me has got to be watching Bathtub rolling before he gets to the mud run Can we have more speed next year i want to go faster Bigger jump into the mud run would be nice Got a very nice looking paper weight on my desk at the moment I would just like to say a big thanks to Jim Marsden for letting me have the honours’ of testing the new Gigglepin bottom housing with FREESPOOL it’s an awesome bit of kit and has got to be 25% faster under load than a Gigglepin winch with +40 gears!! See Chris thats where you dont understand a technical driver like me The reason i got further on the Mud run & had to resort to Electric power was i had to put the car on the passengers side so Darren could eye through the course to see the best line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, it was lucky for us the gearbox broke on the very last SS on saturday if it went earlier i dont think we would have been quite so lucky. im not sure what price jim has in mind for it yet, but im sure its very comparible on price when compared to a full Hydraulic setup Lets not start the hydro v electric debate again Alan you had any more luck trying to upload those video clip onto youtube?

alan kemp Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Alan you had any more luck trying to upload those video clip onto youtube? No, I have spent a couple of hours trying but have given up.

Just shame it couldnt stay on its wheels You got that dent out yet I thought you deliberately parked it on its roof. Landed neatly in the box! The dent stays, filler just doesn't stick to that nylon coating. Next ones will all be 3mm in the key areas! Unless you can source me some of that tough pipe you use? Biggest problem is getting some weird looking sticker off the bonnet. God knows what it is stuck on with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
