Exmoor Beast Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Thought you might be interested in seeing the damage so far. Caused in the mayhem that is 'The Riphay Scuffle' (hillbilly freeforall that will get someone killed before too long). Some muppet reversed into us, then someone else (presumably) rammed the n/s front door whilst it was parked up. The ole bus performed faultlessly though, several sections of deep mud which I would have thought twice about in the 110 on MTs and she just cruised through on new BFG ATs. Only one steep climb we couldn't do (so steep the oil light came on), we were within 6' of the top but the dumper tyred specials had ripped a deep hole at the lip. Dame is nearly repaired, lights were £35 from Exeter4x4 and the door dent has pushed out pretty well Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exmoor Beast Posted August 10, 2006 Author Share Posted August 10, 2006 Annual event run by D&S Staghounds, held at Riphay Barton near Exebridge. First week in August. It is totally and utterly irresponsible and a complete miracle that noboby has been killed. I real two fingers to the PC/H&S crowd. I love it. This year was very crowded and certainly the last time I use a road car for the event. I am on the look out for a cheap/free RR for next year Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exmoor Beast Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 The Riphay scuffle has got too popular now, there are so many vehicles its just an offroad traffic jam most of the time. We were supposed to be there today but I ended up working instead Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Some muppet reversed into us, then someone else (presumably) rammed the n/s front door whilst it was parked up. sounds like they just don't care about other peoples vehicles either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreePointFive Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I made sure I had something else to today, I wouldn't even go to spectate as I wouldn't trust my vehicle to be safe from drunk hillbillys who don't know where the off road course ends and pikeys who nick anything they can off your car (I haven't heard of that but it can't be far away from happening with the numbers drawn to the event). Last year you could walk along the site faster than it was driven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
