This Might take a while :D

What a weekend! To summarise...... there was LOTS of cider!

My truck did the full 148 miles without a single complaint, noise, or leak.

Twiss on the other hand..... That's the only reason my bonnet was opened so he could borrow a dashpot screw from me and Scottie as all 3 of his vibrated out. :hahaha:

Anyway the pictures tell the story pretty well so on with the show!

Jordi was meant to turn up on a trailer.... Twiss arrived by yellow taxi!

We then set to work to sort Twiss' diff and alternator on Friday eve followed by a nice fire.

Saturday - Ridgeway day

How the trucks looked after day one

Saturday evening - Box Pig and Jig - Farmhouse cider and a band on a lorry. Good fun.

Image


Back at Scotties drinking from the club trophy :D

Image



Sunday - Salisbury Plain - Feeling a little rough! The dust was un-real!

Image

Image

Image


Love!

Image


Twisty :D

Image

Image


The posing shots with a few HDR's mixed in for good measure.

At this point Scottie headed North West off home and we headed in every direction imaginable through dust clouds that made it nearly impossible to breathe. Made it back to Swindon and Jordi left. Twiss hung around for more repairs and some food and shot off home.

What a weekend. Deffo needs to be done again at some point!

Can't wait to see some photos of me with my wet feet. :D

I'll stick some photos up tomorrow. I've literally just got in. Went straight to my parents and returned the Navara & trailer then drove home.

Just done a quick oil level check all round and everything is good! My Zuk does have some extra issues now though. I'll explain those later.

A massive thanks to Dan @ Swindon HQ and Scott @ Corsham HQ for being the hosts for the weekend. Organising the routes, providing accomodation, food, entertainment and the above mentioned amounts of cider!

As and when time and money allow i will be back down, one of the best £320 quids spent this year!
