pigster Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'll put me feet up and have a drink when I can.. probably no longer than about 30 mins in to the event.. I reckon the transfer box will let go... its make a horrible sound when you drive it.. (or am I getting confused with the noise of Adrian...) no point wishing you were coming - -its only work holding you back... get your butt out here...

alan kemp Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Cowm eats chocolate axles, diffs, steering, and anything else that is weak. suggest a pnumatic drill as weel as a ground anchor, or maybe one of those bolt guns that Stalone always has in his back pocket!!!

Chris Abel Posted September 6, 2006 Author Share Posted September 6, 2006 sounds interesting!! im just happy ive only got half a ton to hang of my ground anchor rather than 2.5 ton! but my little rhino does not like big rocks and it does not look like im going to get the 6" lift kit in time it wont come until monday now because UPS miss placed my parcel in the USA. Im really looking forward to this weekend, is there a burger van on saturday night or have i got to bring some Pot Noodles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to fend for yourself I'm afraid but Pot Noodles They're not going to give you the energy (actually they're not going to give you anything) you need for Sunday. You need to be thinking like a marathon runner now - 6 hours non-stop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divster Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 oi...that's put the price up That's the reason I'm not coming up to watch on Sunday. I've got to stay home and earn some brownie points before the new , scratch-free , event winning truck arrives. I've worked out that if I get the house finished by then, SWMBO will only break both of my legs when she finds out I've not told her about the new addition to the fleet yet, I think I'll wait until she's had one too many glasses of wine. Dave P.S. She's coming down to watch the interclub challenge. Not a word to her or I may end up on life support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Turner Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 DaveP.S. She's coming down to watch the interclub challenge.

Divster Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 I was/AM going to bring it down now as a surprise let the blood run No room on my trailer, I'll already have a rolling series chassis on it (if SWMBO's got enough muscles to push it up the ramps ) and my little picnic basket of a trailer which JST has repaired for me after a little mishap with losing a wheel on the M5 after last time I was down south. Mind you, I could get her to drive it home. 300ish miles in the hybrid..... I don't think she 'd speak to me again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least it'll be quirt while you do the mod's on it Drive it 300 odd mile's your brave mostly back together now, just can't be arsed to finish it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigster Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Any food van on sunday Neil ...I don't work without coffee at all, Pigster does the work for me How true - - how true... I am not sure the truck would make that far to be honest.. 300 mile.. and it would cost you a large fortune to keep filling it up and get the RAC to give you a lift as well. you would probably drive further on the rolling chassis.

Chris Abel Posted September 8, 2006 Author Share Posted September 8, 2006 Got the trangia out, so we wont be having pot noodles, Spaghetti carbonara tomorrow night. It reminds me of Gold Duke of Edinborough days!! I spent 6 hours this afternoon fitting a 6" lift to the rhino so with 18" of ground clearance we might be driving over the rocks a bit better. See you all tomorrow we should get there about 4.30 ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
