Here we go then mud pluckers. cloud9:
Last Sunday's 20 miler near Lake Vyrnwy. Little mud, but plenty of dust. Most pleasant day out over resonably easy terrain.
This is the river crossing where I had a big barney 2 months ago cus I refused to go in until the exit was clear.
Same arguement semi-erupted again this time too, bloody toss pots. ::)
Water was signicantly deeper last time. A mere trickle on Sunday.

Turned 'round and I was surrounded by about 100 bleating sheepses. whistle:

Dya know summat me 'earty, your the very first person to ask that question. noooo: ::)
I'll have you know, the LR lads were and always are well impressed when they see it charging through the undergrowth mud and 'ills, where even they are wary of.
Nearly 3 years of ownership and abuse, and it was a cat C write off rebuild too don't forget, and apart from knackered wheel bearings due to gritty/sandy wading probably, and a leaky shocker it hasn't ever let me down. It's really awesome off road. It still suprises me where it will go sometimes tbqath.
Compare it alongside that absolute heap of dire durge called a Land rover Discovery that I was unfortunate enough to own for nearly 2 years, with constant electrical problems and break downs, and there is absolutely no comparison or doubt as to what I would and would not buy in the future.

Once you get the whiffs of hot mud, burning tyres, petrol and diesel fumes, and the sweet smell of hot oil into yer lungs, it's there forever....if you're a proper man like, so don't ask the plank mouse naturally.
It's an addiction, like a drug tbh. You can't just suddenly become dis-interested.
Some wimmin enjoy the thrills of it too.
Mrs G doesn't. ::)
I likes the outdooree type of ruff gruff tuff attitude type of wumman. cloud9:

Absolutely. A top top guy with no airs and graces, garden and house full of crap, but he loved it all, and his many fans loved him too. cloud9:
His property has or is being turned into a museum apparently.

Look bird brain. ::) If you've got nothing constructive and interesting to say in this thread, and insist on constantly typing away this seemingly never ending torrent of incoherent and non sensical utter shite, could you start your own thread accordingly, in The Snug p'raps please?
I can then duly and completely ignore your ignoramasies p'raps?
Why do you have to wreck every decent thread I start with your ridiculous crappy exceedingly witless comments?
I think you need to see a physciatrist tbqath.

I've now got a new 140 acre dedicated off roading site at my disposal to operate from near Wrexham. cloud9:
Privately owned by a big private co-orporate entertainment company who actually are the only official operating contractors for Toyota UK 4wd driving experiences.
Full planning permission and available 365 days. cloud9:
Sweeeeeeeeeet...as a nut. cloud9:
Just got to sort out the dreaded advertising now. scared2:

Go Growler happy088
Oh yes!
I'm actually quite excited but very pensive.
We are talking a fairly big company in this field that I'm going to be werkin' parallel to here, and I cannot afford to bollox it up.
I'm NOT going to be associated with them initially. and cannot use their logo as it's copyrighted by Toyota GB apparently.
The head honcho seems a really decent easy to talk to fellah and we both got on fine. He said i was asking the right questions that ultimately made his decision to accept me on site a viable proposition.
I'm actually quite chuffed with meself... so far. happy088

I've linked up witj a bloke I know through my full time job who ran his own garage. He's had to pack it in due to too high overheads, but he'd been doing quad bikes as a hobby. and selling them too.
He was the one who put me in rouch with this company whose site I'll be operating from, and he's just rung me to confirm a joint quad and off roading booking in 2 weeks time.
Sweet as a nut. cloud9:
