Disco Spares - what do you carry when you go laning?

Bastid.

It takes about 3 weeks to get to the stuff at the back of my landy.

It's filled to at least level with the back seats at all times. There aint a lot of room in the back of a 110. I might need to get a 130 next time.

hahah I went to Peterborough last night with a lad, to collect a moggy minor with an Aframe. When we got there the fooking thing was 3 6ft scaffold tubes held together with scaffold clamps and a shackle bolted to the end of one of them

Attached it to the front bumper of the moggy and ripped the front bumper mounts straight out of the car. :hysterically_laughi Got to go back tomorrow with a trailer . Just to finish his night off he got flashed by a speed camera.


Got to do a bit of greenlaning though when we arrived at a bad accident that had blocked the A15. road was closed right next to the entrance to a green lane.

I was wondering about spares but seeing as its a kit list... here's the rest... which lives mostly in the motor and generally always comes with me on laning trips.

Si's borrowed my A frame. If you wanna negotiate with him for a time when you can pick it up, You can use it if you want. It secures to the lower arms so should still be able tow it even with the damge that's already done.
