I agree that is the reason why! I bloody was having fun and only had it 2 weeks and just got carried away! Learn te hard way Lucky it's a toy and didnt pay much for it ah! Hopefully it's fine and not a too tricky fix

For those that know my MPG has been falling thou the floor lately.
Been adding lots of sunflower oil and its running lovely now (dodgy start 2 weeks ago when cold). Worked out my MPG for the past 600 miles (which included 40 ltrs of veg) and its increased to 24!!!!
Happy days

We had to go to lakeside yesterday but i took a short cut via Baddow.
As you say, just under two foot and the best bit no houses nearby.

Thomas thought it was great fun, maybe I can get him into Landys yet?

Over to Mum's today so I'll be checking Debenham ford on the way, its been bone dry for the last twelve months, fingers crossed.

Feb 2011 was the last time i found water there:

Baddow was 6ft 2day!!!
Danbury was just under 4ft

The fords must have got a lot deeper overnight, all the ones we did were around the 2ft level, and that was around midnight.

As I was on my own i decided not to do either.

The roads around Baddow were great fun though

Had a great day at Tye Green as well

Just typical got a break in the weather so I thought I would try and finish of rebuilding the front of me chassis, half way through me mig decides to play silly buggers think I need to put a new linner in it, so it's beer time will hopefully get sorted in the week, mikey think we need to arrange a days lanning soon then with all this rain we has had, think nick was planning a day out would be good to all meet up again, matt who's 90 is that looks nice.

Definitely may be the last change to have a decent laining day before everything drys out

Drizz · Apr 30, 2012
