Re: seven sisters off roading

you mean scorpion, so your another one who hates them ???.scorpion events are toooooooo tame, they think deep mud and huge water holes are there idea of events. Good buisness I suppose when some one drowns there TD5, good excuse to purchase more parts from the scorpion range of add ons.

However they have always accomodated me when I want discount.

Re: seven sisters off roading

The DC props they got where originally supplied by Bailey Morris of Eaton Socon,St Neots as my mate was in sales there. They contacted them and other's like the propshaft clinic etc. I wonder if scorpion have got them copied by another manufacturer because Bailey Morris would not supply shit, it would be too damaging to there reputation. I know about X-eng and I understand what your saying, he is a very nice guy. But its buisness and competition, and if has no patent, its generally a free market. :shock:

www.baileymorris.co.uk Ask for Andy Evans and mention Ian Watson, they also supply new props for g wagens, but aint cheap!!!!! :cry:

Re: seven sisters off roading

hear what ya saying pete but my morals (and most of the LR community i know) dont bother with them,they offered to sell the handbrake when he first started out , to copy his ,sell as thir own , and discontinue selling X eng is pure **** ish . i guess they have gone elsewhere for the work(props) , profit margins and all that. most people i know regard them as the 'halfords' of the 4x4 world - (but all there stuff LOOKS nice) :lol:
