Muddy piccies will be put up by Fatboy later today. Glad you got sorted WLM. Shame you missed it, t'was good fun, not too busy plenty wet enough, but everything was very do-able.

Fatboy11 · Jul 8, 2012

Already put up !

Trouble was it has been too wet the mud was just washing straight off.

As Sprogthedog said everything was very do-able, couldn't do the black sections as no roll cage.

I was impressed at the ability of his rangie on all terrains. Only ended up with 1 dent !

sprogthedog · Jul 8, 2012

Yeah, only one dent. But 2 only partially seated rear springs!

Fatboy11 · Jul 8, 2012

Think that probably happened on that axle twister descent. My relocation cones were making a right racket going down their !

Pikey · Jul 8, 2012

I has got a very nice Plastering/screeding level. after Robint did a great job of distracting WLM, by pretending to get his wallet out..

See, people often under-rate the RRC off road.

Yes the approach and departure angles are less than a 90, yes the majority of them are V8's, which don't like water. And yes again most of them are auto's.

But in the right hands (and I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination) they are pretty-much as good as anything else.

Today we saw "sorted" TD5 discos and stuff trailing body-work as they came out of the woods.

As an entry-level offroader they're as good as you can get. A RRC is pretty cheap to buy, cheap to insure, good enough offroad to have fun in, relativly easy to fix when you break them and comfortable to drive everyday... Whats not to like?

For £500 what other Landy can you buy that does all that?

sprogthedog · Jul 8, 2012

I only had mine in Lo 1st on one descent. The axle-twister wotsit that Fatboy mentioned earlier.

Other than that I was in Diff-lock, Hi-range and Drive all day

I believe i do.

Ill get the wife to have a look in the garage.

sprogthedog · Jul 8, 2012

Cheers BGB.

Let me know if you have, and how much. Via pm if you want.

Jason, let me know if he wants to go as my daughter has had a right go at me for not being included today.

Her exact words were "I had to go to Mad-grandma's, and watch the little mermaid. I don't like mermaids, I like dinosaurs and Landrovers!"

thanks to pikey n robin t
