Spotted!

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

I once dreamt that a car I wrote off was magically back together and on the road...

I nearly cried when I woke up! :cry:

I hate to tell you but the power to weight ratio is worse on a rangerover than a zuke, I leave my mates 3.5v8 rangerover standing both on and offroad. We're both running 33s. Also he goes through at least 2 rear diffs a year, they are made of chocolate. If you want to do some serious offroadin and not just greenlanes then it has to be a 90

ohrite not good then :lol: , i wanna get another zuk and put the vit engine in it rather then a diesel, because with the diesel the power just nackers the props and that :roll: ,

but i wanna get something with more power under the bonnet :twisted:


mostly we just do pay and plays n that rather then green lanes for some reason ,

tom - Yeah my truck is alright I guess... made a big deal of changing the thrust bearing yesterday.
Could've avoided the agro by waiting until the rain stopped :lol:

Waiting for the winch bumper, should be getting a winch sometime in December!

Only thing I have to fix at the minute (apart from getting a new fuse) is the windscreen wipers...
They've unattached themselves for some reason

russ - I like the way the film's speeded up to make it look like the SJ's going faster :lol:
