Evenin' all....

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!

the SJ is not well at the moment to be honest... apart from needing a good clean, the steering bar is bent from me driving up a tree, the rear axle is slightly bent and needs looking at and the battery is pretty shot...

but aside from that, its 'ok' :mrgreen:

the LJ hasnt really moved from the last time i posted pics on the tinterweb...

after getting a job offer from paul at macsport4x4 and keeping my other evening job aswell ive been pretty chocker and not a lot of time to spend on the LJ...

BUT ive managed to clean up the gunk filled front axle, and i can now afford 3 of the tyres i wanna put under it! (only taken me 4 months to save up that much so far) progress is slow, but promising.... it'll be a monster 8-)

welcome to SJUKs new home matey! I think i was camping next to you at the wagtail fancy dress weekend! Driving up trees eh, i've been known to ride my BMX up trees but I don't think it'd have the same effect with a zuk :injured: :lol:

luckily drivin up the tree only consisted of a height of about 3ft... just bent the tie rod is all :x obviously just taking after its owner when it comes to trees.... (i wont go into the story from the last evening drunk on the Ladoga trophy raid....)

no other dramas really....


as for jobs... i figure my law degree aint going anywhere... and theres no way i can afford to follow up a career in law... so whilst im not tied down in commitments to anything, im gonna build myself a comp truck, take it to Russia and compete in Ladoga, and once thats done and dusted, see what my career prospects are then...

who knows.. building comp trucks with macsport4x4 may be a rather lucrative career... if not, i'll be looking to go on and do teaching like i always thought i would be... see how my LJ turns out eh? :mrgreen:
