    Well the visuals were a bit boring :p but the soundtrack is something else! Is it just me or can anyone else hear the wicked beat going on between the knackered engine and your phone's crappy mic?!

    Wahoo!! Better get on to that lane list... So not Monday on the Bank Holiday weekend? And are you thinking 1st May Bank holiday? (fine with me)? If Mon not an option, Sat would suit us better

    hi everyone

    Nice one mate, hope you get a better run than some with the Freelander. I hear the TD4's the pick of the bunch. Hope you can get it all running in tip top condition

    You mean April don't you? Not march - March is nearly over!! (that Easter weekend is when we go away) Either May bank holiday though sounds good for a trip - or both?? :D I need to go back through the thread (240-something pages now!) and find the lanes I haven't done

    Flip we've done it again! Timed our trip away (to Germany) to clash with an epic looking LZ trip :-( Might have to convince you to do a local pre-run a 1-2 weekends prior, just to make sure everything is ready for the weekend :D
