BogMonster Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 So were is the engine front or back Doesn't need an engine it is so light it just has a big set of pedals Think that is the only vehicle I have ever seen with an approach AND departure angle both about 120 degrees...

Your right there. he must have modeled it on one of those cars you used to get when I was a kid that could drive up to a wall then clime the wall roll over back onto it's wheels and the do the same on the next wall.

MogLite Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Just got an SMS from the man himself "We are swamp gods, but now stuck in stage with fkd T.R.End. Towed a tr3 car 8km through a level 6 protostage- we are superheros" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MogLite Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 If he can't get a track rod end in camp tonight - it will be game over Seems a lot of built trucks are breaking He seems pretty up-beat though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Looks like Dan's trailer may get abused again for the journey home from the ferry They're all mentalists, the lot of them - and that green thing looks like something we need to know a lot more about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtydiesel Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Any news on whether jez managed to fix the tre? Carn't find any pics of him further on in the comp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull Bar Cowboy Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I had a text from the man today…………… Jez went out on the penultimate Stage with a broken TRE ……… it was his last spare. So close yet so far …………. there’s always next year. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 News from the front that I got via text message was that they're out at the penultimate stage after busting the last TRE. Jez did suspect the TRE's may be the weak link - mainly 'cos the steering ram was sooo powerful (2 ton force) I'm just glad it wasn't the wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 What a shame [whisper] JU, I'm going to put George on the trailer - see if you can swap them without him noticeing [/whisper] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Where's that yellow paint gone. there is nothing so gutting that losing out at the final stage but all good experiance. does make you feel any better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR90 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Wow, but so close, that's tough. Epic effort and terrific creation though, man's a hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbeaumont Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I get the impression that there is no shame at all in dropping out of the Ladoga at that stage... Must be gutting, all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
