Parkwood 4x4 (Tong) 11th Aug 2013

Post by Ladaman » Mon Aug 12, 2013 12:28 pm

Well we had a great day and not too much damage.

I got stuck going DOWN hill and need a little "tup" to get me into the water, by a LR :oops:

My son got his Trooper bogged down too, and another LR rescued him :argh:

I will put a video together soon of the day out.

Is that it? Two photos? One of which is you being "nudged" by one of those land barges?

Again to Toms question. Engine go well?

Don't worry guys there will be a nice video soon. I don't think we took too many photos though. I'm not sure why :er:

Hows the engine?

FANTASTIC!!

Really impressed, no coughing and spluttering on the rough stuff, or steep hills. Fuel injection is :smokin:
It's SOOOO much quicker on the road which is an added bonus too.

I now need a new electric fan as I lost a blade. (You might hear it on the video at times) I think I left it turned on when I went into some water :screwy: and I need to sort out the temp gauge, other than that, no issues.

Keep an eye out for the video.
