Coming home from work this morning up the A12, we passed mini convoy of landies, (and one hilux surf), obviously on their way to a meet. They came off at Eight Ash green, Colchester. Was that you lot? If it was, where were you going? I live in Colchester and would like to come and have a look if I get a bit of time today.

There were loads of groups out today. That wasn't us with the surf.
Keep an eye on the thread Steve, we tend to go laning fairly regularly, your more than welcome to join us.

Is the prop still good?

Great day. Thank for route planning Mikey. Sorry we had to shoot off before the 2nd group caught up.
I have a very muddy Landy

and I have finally lost a step lol.

Sounds like you had a good day, Nick. I didn't have the prop mate, I had the window regulator and its still good, thanks. Had a bit of a problem with home made bio diesel the other day, lol, and have a few jobs to do this week, but I'll keep an eye on the thread and try to join you some time.

Yeah was a good day. Again the standard Disco did me proud. Need to sort my headlights though. Blown bulbs due to water ingress so gonna slap sealant everywhere lol

Looked good from the videos and pictures appearing on Facebook.

Brian S · Dec 30, 2012

I take it last last lane was a bad move then Dan!

Drizz · Dec 30, 2012

No not at all. Was just extremely technical. I got stuck going down what i got stuck on trying to get up, but to be fair, mike was at some extreme angles. I also got through more than i thought i would. Id try it again without a second thought.

Brian S · Dec 30, 2012

So Mikey pulled you off down that byway? :snigger:

wickford90 · Dec 30, 2012

Thanks for a good day everyone, Mikey for the route and Nick for leading. Sorry about bailing out early but got a call my other half and was waiting to be picked up, she was not impressed with having too wait a couple hours for me to get to the hospital.

wickford90 · Dec 30, 2012

Farrar · Dec 30, 2012
