I'm hearing other people developing that attitude with 4x4's. Basically we have tried being nice, we have tried discussing it but now enough is enough - coming through! You can obviously see that I'm big into making films and I'm always very conscious of doing the right thing but it does get...

Yeah sorry I wasn't saying that. I was making the point that's how most 4x4 drivers approach horses and lanes as opposed to the popular myths the people in the Peaks like to put out

All sounds reasonable. Maybe a hand signal to us in the cars would have been reasonable do you think? Just wondering me not being a horsey person.

After driving in the Peaks the other weekend and getting the usual abuse from walkers and horse riders I had some footage of a couple of numpties I thought I’d share. In fact I was so irritated by the attitudes of the other lane users in comparison to our own I thought it was about time I showed...

Haha!! He made out like it had just happened!! Numpty!

This is the full film of the recent lane we did at Hollinsclough. You might have already seen the lead car’s ‘driver’s eye view’ film. Makes for some interesting watching as a Defender 90 nearly overbalances end over end coming down on the steepest step and then a spring seat snaps on a DISCO...

I know what you mean. To say I was annoyed with the people there is an understatement. In fact in a moody moment I made this. I wasn't going to bother publishing it but as you have mentioned it! A group of 4x4 Land Rovers meeting horse riders on a legal byway in the Peak District - YouTube

I didn't realise it was only the TDCi. Don't TD5's have ECU's and stuff?

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D If it aint got those gauges already then its unlikely to be ODB I would guess. If it has got an ODB port I read this yesterday that interested me. Very cool and very cheap diagnostic tool it seems! Geek & Dummy Review: Bluetooth OBDII OBD2 Diagnostic Scanner

We were out for one last trip at the weekend. The Peaks was the most central point for us all although I've gone right off the place with the amount of sour faces you drive past. I mean we wave and smile to everyone, split into smaller groups and drive respectfully and we still cop flack...

Are all the turbo hoses connected correctly? I've had one blow off and the jubilee clip attached to it rattles against the engine and would explain loss of power!

No mate. I'm a forum member but that's it. I try to get to as many places as I can to stretch myself and learn more but I'm really a green laner with the odd bit of pay and play thrown in now and again!

Lol. Or a superwinch a britpart winch bumper and plasma rope for under £700 delivered to your door! You can dramatically overspec a winch really easily. If you want something that's reliable and powerful enough to pull a 90 out of the **** then you don't need to spend massive cash...

There are some new ones out there at very good prices right now. Whats your budget?

One thing that bugs me about not just Adrian Flux but most insurance companies is renewal premiums. Every time renewal comes around I phone to say its too expensive and would you believe every time I do you find a way to shave some money off. It feels like your actively trying to con me. Why...

Bonnet up for wire. That's interesting and never heard that before but makes perfect sense! Long since swapped to rope now though!

Haha!! You know what its like, lots of people milling around talking about what to do because it was unexpected to say the least.

Lol. What to get 3 people out first, unspool your winch and hook it up?!? I don't think we could have done it much quicker! Having been in a car on its side and gravity pushing you over, that's no mean feat! Also if you watch the car accelerates for a while after its turned. The drivers foot...

You might have seen my recent film of the DISCO 1 turning over in Bala forest and I did get a few comments about winching techniques and safety. Some valid points about the numpties milling around too close to the action but I personally thought we did a good job. Obviously while it’s in that...

That's my aim in 2014, to do some films of other guys laning instead of just my muppet mates!! :D
