Salisbury Plain Sunday 28 Dec
Anyone fancy meeting up for a days laning. The plan is to follow the roadbook in this months issue of TOR magazine.
According to TOR, the terrain is described as gentle downland, and bleak open plain. Expect overgrown vegetation, deep ruts and surface water.
The route will take us past Stonehenge, and the “German Villageâ€Â, a complex used for training troops in how to drink awful lager. :wink:
Meeting place is outside the Crown pub in Everleigh.
10. 00, 10. 30 meeting time.
Please post if interested in joining.
off to tong in leeds for a play day.
Unfortunately won't be around but glad to see you haven't arranged it for the 25th this year...
I will be there mate :D
Cliff

o go on then, ill bring me new motor :wink:
hmmm....
i might be able to make it :wink:
and see that patrol 8)
pp,please give a detailed report on that monster :)
tires, lift ,engine etc....
i used own a 4.2D in cyprus before i moved back to the uk in 99. it was a jap import. had a warn winch too :wink:
but i found it a bit bulky and heavy. wasnt bad in the mud but seemed a bit of a hippo in my opinion. bloody juicy too!!
but it was solid. never really kept it long enough. is this your second nissan mate?
watched them off road on youtube recently and was suprised with the axle flex :shock:
if the truck is fixed - will attend!
Spider1V
Huss, 2" lift ,new wheels 4.2 diesel auto, bespoke winch bumper. This is my second nissan , yes they are big but good off road with rear locker and plenty of flex, apart from metal worm , these trucks are great , if you want one long term make sure u live in a dry enviroment !
me and dad will be there
i think this is gona be a good turn out :lol:
looK forward to meeting new faces and seeing piggy's G400
OK I've never offroaded so Im a bit worried if I say yes. How tough is this?
modificata, you come along and we will set up a novices divivsion....
modificata, you come along and we will set up a novices divivsion....
Last thing I want to do is trash my car! Dont want to spoil the looks! :D
Seriously though will this be suitable for a total novice?
Sounds like it is going to be a good event.
Modificata - I wouldn't be too worried. Virtually every lane has an escape route/bypass if it gets too much for you.
not sure myself, but i guess you better get the Total Off road mag and look at the route buddy..
i am also not keen on wrecking my G either. i am reckon its gonna be alright considering experts are there to guide us!!
It's dust tracks really, you won't have to worry
Right then count me in. Co-pilot is sorted too. I'll be flying back in from hols on Christmas day so should be all relaxed by then.
Looking forward to it!
mark, whats the G count so far?
modificata, you come along and we will set up a novices divivsion....
Thats what they said about you last time Huss
yes piggy, thats only because i got my paint looking like this after the evnet :wink:
hmmm.... last time I checked water didn't leave scratches... and there wasn't anything else at the last event to scratch your G except maybe peter perfect....
Very tempting!!!!!!!!!!! This or Cinderella??????????
After your last mission off road I think you should go and see Cinderella!!!! It will be safer that way... :lol: :lol: :lol:
Yea Shaun , you look good in womens cloths, stick with cinderella
:lol:
Shaun come along but dress as Cinderella if you want to :D ...
Cliff
