sure we can sort out a sat or sun outing soon, I fancy starting around Stansted and working back towards Braintree area, taking in Terling ford.
Any one else up for it.

Yep that sounds good.

Keep in touch & hopefully a few more will join in for a day out, within the next couple of weeks.

Also up for that but doubt mine will be on the road for a few days yet.

You working this weekend Chris?

I'll see ya at 9:30am Copdock Tesco's Bottle Bank, to show you the way, you never know a couple of the others might meet us there as well... . we'll get you to go around the white course first so dont panic, you'll be supprised what a Disco will do.

I spoke to Nick (Discodad) this morning, and it looks like his coming, and I have had a text from Geoff (Wickford90) and has offered me a ride as well, so going to have a fun day, going to take my camera get some good pics as well hopefully. Also Brian (BrianS) may come for a watch and a ride.

I wanted to get the BMW front discs and pads changed today but was too wet.

If it dont look like tomorrow will be dry I may come along to watch.

Need to get the brakes done before next month though so I can retax it and sorn the Landy.

Yeah ****ed it down here as well.

You sound like Guy there saying you going to SORN it,, have you heard much from him? hows he doing.

Bit of a sod how your Disco is going... hope you sort it.

I went over for a coffee today, hes fine.

My engine smoke is getting worse so keeping on using it after the tax runs out will be silly. I will take the head off and hope its just a head gasket gone.

Am off work but will be working on the barn all weekend I reckon.

Lol mine is too wide for the trailer and don't fancy towing it with the passat!

I'm good for tomorrow. My brother is getting to mine for 08:15 so i will be very early, may need to go the long way

I need to be away before 14:30 so will go straight there and get scrutinised and sort out my membership.

Still no CB so I'll take my 2 way radio's (charging now).

See you in the morning.

Had a great day at SLROC course, thanks for the ride Geoff,

Shame about the knock Nick, hope you get it sorted with very little mucking about.

Just a few pics for you guys

looking forward to gettoing my Bearings sorted for a nights drive out, and perhaps a dip in Terling as well.

Yup. It was a good day.

Got stuck once. Thought it was pretty good considering it is a road standard(ish) Disco. Amazed at how capable it is. Has opened my eyes as to how powerful these actually are!!!!!!!!

Deffo got to get a steering guard, remove my much mangled towbar step and sort new front bumper out.

Would like to block it up a few inches but it won't be until the summer.

Going to do WildTracks on Thursday as I've got friends coming over and want to give them a taste of sore asses

Good to hear you enjoyed it, nice to meet you as well, its all down to practice and confidence in the end, and also totaly differnat to green laning.... you done well today.

Catch up soon.

Well a fun day, bit ****ed off with the re-arranged nose, but driver error:doh:
Should have walked the course first and used a little less gas.
Double hill, needed momentum to get over the first and second, but didn't know about the sharp left turn after the hill

Anyway It'll get sorted, but timing could have been better.
A few of the photo's attached + 3 clips (see links below):
