white90 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 thanks All who were involved we had a great day the highlight being a certain co-driver not calling out stop when I reversed towards a 10FT DROP! I realized things weren't going well when I saw some spectators horrified faces at what was about to happen to me, I had a view normally kept for space shuttle passengers when all I could see was Sky, convinced I was about to back flip I pressed the accelerator to the floor to aid the reversing procedure, But I was in underdrive and not a lot of movement was attained, enough to save a large accident as the front wheel came down from space to Terra firma. Cheers again the the Forum team, I must get the sodding winch sorted (brake fell apart) and a few dents to sort Nice to meet a few more of the forums many members Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

najw Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 Glad you all had a great day. The weather was just perfect in all respects and the marshals and punch setters did a fantastic job with no major incidents (that we heard about all day) I am still having IT problems and although I have the results am unable to post them at the moment. Will do my damndest to get them up first thing tomorrow. Huge thanks to my regular AWDC crew for devoting another weekend to the cause and well done to all the drivers for tackling a wide range of challenges. Oh, and we won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Freak Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Very well done everyone.. A well deserved third place.. Great to meet some of you in person and I'll definitely be coming to more events in the future... I'll be sorting through the pictures taken today and will post a link off this thread for all to follow and see just how good the team were...

Petergg Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Well done to Neil and the AWDC a brilliant event, I lost all but 1 of our team by the end, we lost front winch about 13.30, and had no diff locks fitted which made it a very interesting PM. Torn a valve fron front wheel and a few dings and scratches and 1 broken rear light not too bad. Nice to catch up with some forum members too, Just got home a long day. If any one took photos of Green S1 look a like with a fat old bloke driving , and a youngish bald runner I would like to see them please. Well done to the winners.

Divster Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Had an excellent weekend. Well done to Neil and crew for another superb event. I think the team performed excellently (a better result than I thought we'd have). Nice to meet some other faces from the forum. A bit a baptism of fire for Top90 (even got his truck on it's side) but performed brilliantly. It's a shame your biatch didn't have more stamina. I particularly want to see the photos of magic's truck on it's side. What a way to finish the day. We got in at 2230 and back at work for 0600. I'm thoroughly knackered. I think I'm more suited to the drivers seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top90 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Thanks guys for a great day. Truck performed well and I am well happy with it. It ended up on its side once but not a single dent due to the cage. Also thanks to dave for co-driving. I get out and help when I could. See some of you on the 7th October.

Gnomeranger Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Had a great day, still not sure how I ended running round infront of my own motor and not driving,(note to self, take large bottle of RadianB to next event.) I think it was the confusion of only being told I was doing the event on friday. Bigger tyres and some diff lock for the next one I think. Well done to the organisers, a great day was had by all.

Top90 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Impressed we did so well on the wheel change, with eight nuts per rim. Divster now knows how heavy those Volvo wheels are. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark90 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Interesting results. Was Paul Bass running his truck in the same 'standard' class spec as he does in the AWDC challenge events? I don't wanna say I told you so, but.... Should have got Rob on board, he seems to do well at that site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigster Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 nope - -he had a 8274 just kicking about so he put that on the rear -- but he still didn't have lockers fitted. Interesting results.Was Paul Bass running his truck in the same 'standard' class spec as he does in the AWDC challenge events? I don't wanna say I told you so, but.... Just seen the results - good job Adrian - not a bad score for us.. only need one more punch and we would of been 6th bugger should of stuck it out on that last one in the woods... never mind.

Mark90 Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 nope - -he had a 8274 just kicking about so he put that on the rear -- but he still didn't have lockers fitted. Fair play, a pretty good result then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JST Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 hey 7th overall, happy with that, come on Pigster you beat us overall so you didnt even need that last punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Fair enough. 18th was about right. Both were a bit knackered and sporting headaches all day! I reckon we lost at least 4 punches changing the drag link which would have put us up in 12th place. Sumo bar is on the to-do list. Might have got better score on wheel change if we'd had the rattle gun! White 90 didn't seem to have his CB on though, we called for it for a good 10 minutes. All good experience though. For our second event twas OK and quite a bit more physical than seven sisters. I am aching in places I never knew could ache. Bring on the4 next one PS Great photo on the challenger site of me holding the back end of Lenny down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But well pleased if only we had pulled SS1 I think that we could have driven round picked up a few extra points Oh well that's live full of if's and butts. Thanks to those that did help winch us out, when we managed to get in Nice to see the Cheque go to the Air Ambulance very well done. KBE yes thank's we are on the "Muddy Road" Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Sounds like you guys had a good day. Was it anyone from here that I saw heading north on the A46 near Bath about 1845 as I came south with my caravan on heading back from 7Sisters? We did some waving. Pretty sure I spotted Neil in his Dacia heading that way too, too late to wave sadly. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
