    Well, these are the special tracks Insaturbo 4x4 Pretty aggressive and 95% off road, so I'd imagine going down the motorway would sound like you were in a plane about to take off but I think I know the tyre you're talking about. Going to try and find it now!

    What happens when your buddy gets called away and you're stuck!

    At the moment LRMilfer, I think they're fab. Bought them on off the paddocks website and a set of four was £228 incl. delivery. Got them all fitted and balanced for £40 too so all in all not bad. Got to get another one for the spare, but using one of the old ones for now and saving money for...

    How not to right a rollover!

    Yep! Otherwise known as Cheryl and my other half Stretchie is otherwise known as Dan. Was a member a few years back with an '86 90 and just joined again last year with the disco. Went out in December with the club, but not been since. Just fitted new tyres though so will recify that soon!

    What happens when your buddy gets called away and you're stuck!

    No.....that's my boyfriend (Stretchies) mate from up north. It was his first time off road and he was a bit worried it was going to roll!

    How not to right a rollover!

    Me and Stretchie had to get rescued, along with most of our club in some really bad mud before Christmas and although we were glad of the help.....the guys that towed us were not sticking to the actual byway and were wrecking the farmers tracks and edge of the field. No idea why when the byway...

    What happens when your buddy gets called away and you're stuck!

    I know.........I could have waited for a freeloader to get me out (I quite like the new ones) but that would have been a tough pill to swallow and my boyfriend would have enjoyed that far too much...lol. Actually, the guy with the Freelander went up there later with a friend to try and prove...

    What happens when your buddy gets called away and you're stuck!

    You should have heard him when I got him to stand on the rear corner and bounce it while I tried to get traction.........nearly wet myself laughing! Yeah......the guy we were with has been a great partner in the past, but after speaking on the phone last night he tried to justify it by saying...

    Bought my first Disco yesterday... today I striped the back end, guess what?

    JP....for years now I've had a guy that run a company called BEAST motorsport do all the work I can't do on my various landies. He bases his reputation on doing really good work, has all the equipment needed and charges really decent rates for work. He's in Wick, about 15 mins from Bath and...

    What happens when your buddy gets called away and you're stuck!

    Pics in next post... Sooooo, took a mate for an interview in Devizes yesterday and arranged to meet up with a fellow landie owner who was in the area for the day to go off road playing at lunch time. Went up this little track (just off the road) and my inexperienced passenger sh*t himself and...

    help getting in to car

    A 67 year old, wheelchair bound lady with MS used to ride my horse every week so that she could still compete side saddle (where legs aren't really needed as much). Obviously getting on and off the horse provided many challanges and as this was a long term arrangement, her husband found a step...
