The return of Ladaman

Post by Ladaman » Tue Nov 14, 2017 9:44 pm

Well it’s been a few years since I was last here due to a bit of a brain fart on my behalf.

Well hopefully I’m sorting things out, and part of this has involved getting my Samurai back on the road last Saturday. I’m sure I will be a regular again as I plan to get back out and enjoy the little beastie.

I will add some pics to remind you of my truck when on wi-fi, and if I can remember how to do it.

Good to see you back, man!

I really need to get mine back on the road (and then back offroad) too - what was the story regarding yours?

Thanks for the welcome back guys, many of the same old names from before.

It seems much quieter on here than a couple of years ago, but I'm sure I will cope.

I did my first laning trip yesterday, so I will look to add some pictures tomorrow if I can find time.
