Parkwood - wet, muddy but good fun

Had a bloody good laugh this Sunday at parkwood. Managed to film some clips from an iPhone inside the cab..... As you can appreciate, it wasn't the best idea for smooth camera filming

Will get a proper mounted camera for the next run

Let the verbal abuse begin

P.s you can't tell on the vid but these trenches were about 12" deep, muddy, slippy

Also managed to film someone who loves replacing frontera clutches

Good work brother. Shame the frontera is such a substandard machine! He could have made that with a little left foot braking though, cos they're light enough to pop up.

I think you were going the wrong way in the first video though.

Where abouts was the 1st one i obt recall going in that bit..los good. Uncle tried and failed at yhe step aswell...saw a jeep go down it though..was a good day

nice to c it all muddy mate lol

Muddy !!! There's half a lawns worth on the inside as well,,, a few gallons of muddy water under the hood...

Note to self: when water comes over the bonnet and it drops down to 6 cylinders, don't try dry out the ht leads whilst engine is running otherwise little shocks can be felt whilst stood in a puddle

Superb!. Yeah, that first clip looks VERY familiar!...(tis where I picked up a 'small' dent on the soft alloy RRC bob panel then got wedged against a tree!)

Looks great fun....spurs me on the get mine up n running again....defo the season for mud now

Thought you had the new engine now Joe?

Next open day is sunday 13th Nov

4x4 Events

After my first run in October, I realised the HT leads were crap (a bit of water and down to 6 cylinders) and the axles breather pipes werent long enough. These have now been fixed / replaced / repaired... Wonder what will go wrong this time

Gonna get mine muddy again..... does beg the question though, why did I clean it last time :doh:

Anyone else going?
