OK how many comments did you get from the Land-Rover guys on REAL 4 wheel drive?? :lol:

[mrtn]

mindlessly fun 8)

[goraiko]

The marshalls were abit surprised when I managed to get through parts where even landrovers were getting stuck.

I think the phrase over the radios was "there's a nutter going round in a honda, and he's still going"

Not many although a few did say it looks too nice to go round there. THe expessions were the best bits when it powered through parts where they were struggling.

I have to confess I too the easier of the routs over some of the obsticles as parts of it was set up for trials vehicles and I need it for work tomorrow. :D

What's stopping you?

[alex3168]

Oh you lucky man. :D

P.S. did you break something, it looks like on your pictures ?

[goraiko]

No I was just trying to find out where all the steam was coming from. It turned out to be wet mud and water draining down from the under tray etc. on to the hot exhaust.

We don't have such places over here... (that's stopping me), but i went on the field with it already. He looked like yours too then. But I wanna do such hills and stuff :D

oh well, some day... :wink:

[goraiko]

Come over for the next one in June then. :wink:

[hattus]

That looks like jolly good fun....was that you in the pic or did some midless drunk stumble on into the picture :lol:

[goraiko]

er mindless.....no it was me. :oops:

[hattus]

Oh! right...I didnt realise :wink: ....looked like a great day out...was it expensive (soft southerner with a tight pocket here)

[goraiko]

Fiver per lap or £15 for the whole day. I only went round the once so it cost me a fiver. Best laugh I've had in ages.

[CRX]

Cool!

There is a lot to be said for the HRV's light weight. Refer my experiences on the beach:

I am looking forward to next month - Isabel and I will be going on a scuba trip to Mocambique. Think I'll make a new thread about this...

[hattus]

Wow thats really cheap for a whole day.....a real bargain!

[goraiko]

Theres a weekend one in June, IIRC that only about £25 fo the whole weekend and includes a live band, camping and again a bigger course.

[goraiko]

I'm looking forward to the summer when alot of the lanes round here go sandy as opposed to a strange mix of sludge and sand.

[PatrickDorrian]

June eh .... i reckon you might be joined by another HR-V for that day!

[goraiko]

Good man. It's the weekend so wine/booze and live band too.

[PatrickDorrian]

Quite happy to skip booze wine and live band, just give me floodlights and a petrol supply and you won't see me for 48 hours lol

That looks like a riot, i'm just downloading the video now :)

[goraiko]

I have to confess to having second thoughts for a second or too. Then we saw a standard Suzuki Vitara going round (he did get suck several times though), and I thought bugger it if he can go so can I. :twisted:

[PatrickDorrian]

How much experience do you have with offroading?

[goraiko]

Done a bit mainly in landrovers though.

[PatrickDorrian]

Sneaky editing there mr goraiko ;)

[goraiko]

perks of the job. :wink:
