Parkwood 4x4 (Tong) P&P 14th April

Post by Ladaman » Sun Apr 06, 2014 8:25 pm

Anyone fancy it?

I will be going in my Samurai, and my son will be going in his.

Good site for those who haven't been, but getting a little pricey. I've not been for ages, and missing it.

Or have a look on my you tube channel. Search for Ladamanmba or click on the link in my signature. I'm sure there are a few videos of the site.

No one fancy popping along?

All being well I will be meeting AntD to give him some bits, but nobody wants to play?

Yep it is a bit far for just a day for you Anton. You missed a cracker though. I will throw some pics up in the gallery, and see if I can put a bit of a video together later.

I broke it again :oops:

It looks like the wedge for the Vitara power steering box has failed. It wouldn't turn right and the steering box was moving about a lot :shock:

I lashed it up with a ratchet strap and had an interesting drive home. Maybe I should have called the AA, but where is the fun in that?

Yes very fine!!

It was nice to meet you also, and I hope to see you out in yours soon.

If we go to Tong again next month feel free to pop along, and I will take you for a spin round. It will certainly speed up your progress when you see what fun you're missing.
