Hi all, just entered my first competition here in Spain. Just to set the scene....I arrived about 10.00 am along with about 60 other modded vehicles of which about 45 were well lifted Nissans. After the various drivers took a look around the course only 13 decided to sign up! I looked at my modded 200tdi Discovery with its AT BF's and looking everyone else running 'muds' I thought I would give it ago.
Although not a 'proper' club member of the club that organised the competition I knew the club president so regardles of my position on the track at the end I would not be allowed a trophy. I was however allowed to be included in 'non track' areas of the competition as the winner is decided by other drivers ect.
So after watching drivers in the Nissan group break lockers/front hubs ect and a Range Rover rip the teeth off his transfer box cogs I had ago...low and behold I came FIRST with only one foul on the entire course. This has proved that a fifteen year old Discovery with sensible mods can really cut it.
As my 'truck' is not as wild as the other entries you can gather it got a lot of interest, I took the award for best equipped vehicle.
This was held at the industrial estate in Lorca right next to the Land Rover dealers............no I'm afraid no one came over with a sponsorship deal, better luck next time.
Now to wash the car as I have 3 airport trips to do this week!
I have uploaded some photo's, I have been told a camera puts on about ten pounds.....I must have had five cameras on me at the time of this photo 8>)
