Who is joining me and Bill Moss on Good Friday in Daventry for a pay and play day?
Should be good fun ifwe could get a couple of G's there.
I think Bill is planning to have a buffet lunch at the 'G-clubroom'

Come on, get dirty with those G's!!!!! :twisted:

Yes Mark take lots of pics (preferably with digital camera so that quality is better for sharing over here) and I'll put them in my website.

Cheers

I think it is an excellent site, compact but very challenging, designed by enthusiasts to test skills at all levels.
Thanks to the two members that made it, Mark entertained us by falling over in the mud,
The workshop club room "check point charlie" and steam cleaning facility were well received.
I dont have any pics ( can't work my new camera yet) but I think Mark has some , of the mud ... the sky... mud .... sky etc
I think Kashi has some wobbley ones as well.

They are only wobbly because my knees where shaking after what you performed with my G :D
It was a fantastic day out and on a few occasions I heard the phrase ' them G-wagens are rather good' uttered!!
Not to mention the round of applause when Bill drove up a seemingly imposssible hill, in my G I might add!!!
The correct term is sh*tting bricks I believe!
The G behaved impeccably, no mean feat for a 23 year old truck, got me back to Yorkshire no bother, just wish the brakes would return to normal, ie slow the car down!!!
Very, very good day, count me in for the next one
Thanks

Richard

Bit of a disaster from a picture point of view, i was only out of Richard's G for about a minute before going face first into a huge muddy puddle. Lucky i managed to keep the camera out the worst of the mud, but the lens and view finder were both covered in mud, so no more pics.
Still a good day, thanks to Richard and Bill taking me round the course. Was a bit like being on a rollercoaster at Alton Towers :wink: :lol: .. Great fun

Next time anyones getting their G Wagen's dirty, let us know, hopefully i'll be more sucessful getting some pics. :lol:
