It has been raining very hard here, so it will be very wet.
On the farms the tractors aren't even out and standing water on all the smaller roads.
Yummy!

Serious question, where’s the air intake on G500’s or 270’s :shock: :shock:
Wading Depth
463 300GD = 900mm
RR/Disco = 710mm?
300GTD = minor puddle :roll:

I have 3 deposits into my account, but don't know who from, so please let me know if you paid into my bank.
I also have 3 cheques and one cash payment, including me that gives us 8 paid cars, and Easydeluxe can pay when he gets here.
I have paid The £400 for the trip, so we need one more car please.
Peter are you still bringing friends?
yep, Howard who will pay on the day coz he is not organised, not sure about mark or Shaun, my mate in the LR90 has pulled out, got a cat show to go to :shock: pussy !

Oi Wales!
Are you going to come? Or you just lurking on the sidelines? Mind you if you have a 300D? I can see why you could be worried, loads of puddles up there - may have to pull you out! :cry: :roll:

Did someone say he was bringing a boat? Maybe I'll stick a kayak on the roof as well. Just in case. Also I must say I am glad for my sunroof to...

"bale out of". To answer Spider, only if it stops raining by Wednesday and there are still places.
Come on prwales, of course there is space.
hope you have all fitted fording bungs in the bottom of the bellhousing and cleaned the rubber drainage vent in the bottom of the heater air intake box. the height of the alternator snorkel might dictate how deep you can go without becoming exposed to possible electrical problems....and hose the mud out of the radiator matrix before the heat bakes it hard and the engine overheats as a result.......have a great weekend....
Why don't you get that old girl of yours dirty for a change, Ill even contribute to the cost because I need to courier something in both directions.

He's just mean.... doesn't matter what you drive. ;)
he couldn't pull himself out with the tyres on his V8, all show and no go or more crudely put, "fur coat and nee kn*ckers" 8)
@ Laphong - I am sorry, did you same something Master 300?
@ Maxwellsmart - I am sorry, did you say something Mrs 300?
@ PRWales - I am sorry, did you say something Miss 300?
Any other 300's that wish to have a dig at the 500's?????
Spider1V - 5ltr. V8! 'nuff said :twisted:
Well if it carries on like this I’ll bring this :lol: :lol:
20 quid a tow Spider, OK?
Seriously met a friend today who was using one to get to work and he had only just made it. Water way above the headlights :shock:
Russ,
Nice! (Though I would have thought a UniMog would have been better?)
Spider1V - Has no tow money - all gone on petrol! :cry:
I drive a 300 and I say: "let the 6th come and we see who tows who"
I drive a 300 and I say: "let the 6th come and we see who tows who"
YEAH!!
It will be someone like Peter Perfect in his bloody Nissan! We will never hear the end of it!
Spider1V
If it is still ok, my buddy wants to join with the T3...
It seems that all the probs are taken care of.
Yea let him come, there is a certain multi member member who might need a tow.
Slightly more serious, I was going to bring sausages for hot dogs, but we can't have fires in the Snodonia area, so everyone will have to pack a picnic, etc.
yeah, we're expecting some pretty hefty adventures after these last posts of bad weather and machismo... :D

I can bring a gas stove...and the T3 is equiped with another one?
I considered it, but we are going to have a lot of mouths to feed, so I think we'll spend more time cooking than pulling spider out of the mud.
Did I say Spider?
Sorry, I meant Land Rovers. Honest
:D
Man, this tread is setting high expectations!
Since we are bringing the T3, which is a camper...can we camp somewhere in the area? Can you sleep in your car in de woods?
Legally you can, and there are loads of secluded little turn offs in the area. That would be what I would have done.
Can we all get coffee at your place then?
espresso!! I'll take care of it!

If you head for these coordinates you will find a secluded parking area in the forestry. Just off a minor road but out of the way such that I doubt anyone will bother you. Along this road (the B4391) there are a number of other little turn off’s in to abandoned quarry (very small) that you could also use.
OK if you get there in day light but if not head for these coordinates.

Just checking you got the Money LEEU.

Hmmmmm, Me and the ego will get back to you :wink:
BTW Accommodation?
Spider1V - :roll:
I think I have finally blew my engine with my bio fuel, so I am desperately running around at the moment.
More new later.
BTW I will definitely do the trip, even if I have to buy a old G for it, but if the engine has gone, I will try to source and fit a new one before then.

Very sorry to hear that :'(
?? would bio-dliesel wreck the engine?? I was thinking about switching to bio-diesel at some point... I am not going to do that if that's for real!
