plasticbadger Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I'll be there - first outing for the new Range Rover, it's not even had a shake down run yet Some of the Marshals are bringing their trucks prepped up for the Transylvania Trophy in a few weeks time - should be interesting to see them in action, if they get them finished Dave, are you setting up on Friday? I can't make it until Friday night due to family commitments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasticbadger Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 And the good news is that Mrs Plasticbadger may be able to attend after some last minute haggling over child care with the grand-plasticbadgers, so there'll be someone to make our bacon butties Moose. We should have a 4 car convoy coming up from Swindon on Friday with Mrs PB in the Disco, Ashley in Marek's 90, me in the Toy Rover and the Landi-mog in tow. I think Marek will still be working on the Landi-mog on the trailer! Anybody else going from the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landrover598 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 What a fantastic weekend, stunning weather, and loads of interesting trucks to watch in action. Some of my pictures for those who couldn't make it. Video of the above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Some great pics there, very jealous of all who went Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Two things - where is that? It certainly isn't 7 sisters - the sun is out and there are shadows and everything!!! Secondly, who's the marshal that didn't read the rules? That is of course unless it was his own truck that was stuck!! Tut tut, getting wet for the riff raff! Bringing the tone of marshalling right down I can tell you!! Nice pics though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticbadger Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Great pics Dave, I'll pop some of mine on later too. And what great weather we had Secondly, who's the marshal that didn't read the rules? That is of course unless it was his own truck that was stuck!! Tut tut, getting wet for the riff raff! Bringing the tone of marshalling right down I can tell you!! I quite agree - the truck I recovered from the pond with a hydraulic-ed engine I made it's driver connect my winch rope (you know who you are - how's it running?) Breakage tally for us from the weekend was as follows: Toy Rover (green Rangy in the pics): Mud filled ECU Sheared tie bar ball joint Bent radius arm Bent rear cross member The Shrew (orange 110 in the pics): Bent trailing arm Stripped thread on radius arm rose joint hole in sump (due to diff nose rotating when above failed) Leaking injector pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will4x4 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 looks excellent heading there with jeep club in july. is that the deepest water, or could you quickly sink it there easily? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 There are deeper, softer bits in the main lake, as i found out last year But you can see the general depth in the video in my post above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
