Whereabouts are you in sweden? I might be able to get up to you tomorrow if you're in the south?

Are you stuck in a forest or a florist by the way?

Thats something you should have maybe looked into before you went off-roading.

And got stuck.

Alone.

Been a bit of a muppet haven't you?

I did hear rumours that if you were caught off roading in Sweden they took yer car... burned it in front of you and mde yer walk home afterwards -

'Course that might be just the slittys!!

Ooops that's me well and truly told off then. Managed to cross places like the Simpson desert as a solo vehicle. Must remember to read the rule book before I go abroad again

Anyway the lads in the SLRK are a friendly helpful bunch. Just got back from a trip to Sweden. Have been invited out to join the SLRK autumn safari at the end of September. Am very tempted

Solo expeditioning is fine, that's how real men do it.

I think off roading just for the sake of it probably makes more sense in a group, unless of course you are "training" for a solo expedition....

Afterthought - off roading in a country where it is totally illegal should probably not be done at all, or if you absolutely have to do it, you need a posse...

wilkj91 · Aug 28, 2010

got it out but its a bit broken from my bump with the tree trunk. staring arm, front diff, electrics and something els is rattling allot.

storm99 · Aug 28, 2010

The rattling noise will be the money pouring out of your bank account if you get it fixed in sweden...

Did you join the swedish landy club?
