That was about an hour faster than me!twiss wrote:Brilliant weekend! No massive breakdowns for anyone as far as I know so its always a success!
I made it home in 2:15 instead of 4:30 on the way up there
Hope everyone got home safely and I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures
London sucks.
Tim - go back to running on 3, mate - might be quieter...

I've been in for about 40 minutes now.
Interesting thing is, provided my fuel gauge is roughly accurate - which I think it is -, I got about 40-45mpg on the ride back up on the motorway.

There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

Glad you got home ok Ed. was great you made the trip down there, even better that you took your standard Zuk round and proved just how far you can get on standard tyres.Edweird wrote:I've been in for about 40 minutes now.

I know. I can't get over how well it did climbing grassy banks and forcing its way through that boggy shit.Jordi wrote:Glad you got home ok Ed. was great you made the trip down there, even better that you took your standard Zuk round and proved just how far you can get on standard tyres.Edweird wrote:I've been in for about 40 minutes now.

Having a go in Dan's was good though. Those knobbly 31s are great.

Well done for making it bud. For someone with very limited knowledge of all things mechanical (not that it showed ) i was well impressed with your little truck.timwilks13 wrote:I think I can safely say that at 1.31 I am the last home? what an amazing weekend, biggest thanks to all who organised it and made the effort to come, top job. can't wait till the next meet now!
Hopefully we can all get out again sometime soon.
