Once it was so muddy, and pissing down with rain that i resorted to "washing" the car in the rain before the guy showed up... didn't work so well :lol:
The AA have brought you to off road weekends before. Never mind took you home after.

I think I might make a regular thing of it... fill the tank up at home, break down shortly after, AA tow to destination, then theres a full tank for laning haha

I've only done that once though haven't I? All other times I've arrived with the truck under its own power :P

Might have to fab one up before I take her offroad, no idea how to go about it though, flat bar might be a good start to make a frame and then build from that...

Yea check my build thread. I made one out of 3mm sheet steel to say its heavy duty is an understatement!! Only 1 prob with it... I got the position of one of the mounting holes in the wrong place I think. So I never fitted. I've recently aquired a new tank so will sit it in the guard and figure it out at some point.
The plan I found on difflock I think was from a French site originally of I remember correctly, was designed to be folded up from 1 sheet of steel.. I bought a sheet big enough and cut all the sides out separately and the welded them together

However we might be able to do another meet elsewhere at some point. I would like to head up to Korc but that could be more just a meet at one of their bank holiday weekenders rather than an 'SCUK meet'
Yes Scottie, the Kirton weekender is a must next year for anyone who can make the journey , I totally love this site! aiming to get ours back up the for may bank holiday weekend , thou hope to see Richard over Xmas break so i may just have to go for a play in Zero. Drumclog is even further huge site we almost had to leave dunks truck stuck in the one boggy bit :/ ....those were the days .....hmmm may have to go find some mud tomorrow ......... . ;)
