This jeep :

A Disco which fried it's starter and then the owner lost the keys..doh! And a TD5 Disco that died in the water. I towed it about 30 miles home on a fixed bar. Highlight of the day for me was burning a TD5 90 off the lights..with the other Disco attached to me .. .



If you modify the link above you can see some of the other pictures. All in all a good day, massive turnout and we donated all the profits to charity ;-)

I was there with the LRO driving day, and I've got to agree with Neil - it was brilliant! Get to Tixover one way or another... great fun ;-)

if it's not been prepared, then that water's too deep... as he's presumably found out by the time the picture was taken :-)

He looks a bit cheesed off. So I think he found out the expensive way.

looks like the Isle of Wight ferry, wot with the plume of smoke...

looks like a much-modified series - a full-blown trialler, basically. The dumper tyres are a bit of a give-away, very noisy on-road.

Hi!

It's an old Suzuki SJ with welded diffs and a Ford Pinto engine....!!! Go figure ;-)

He rolled it a few time, there are pics on the forum of the organising club (link below...) ;-)

fine... most people start with a series LR to make a trialler...

Neil,

Just been too busy :-(

Will try and make the next one
