My mate has finally seen the light and is defender shopping at the moment, there's loads of real clubs out there as opposed to mum truck green laners, dead easy to learn and pure petrol heads all just getting stuck in. Very cheap hobby once you have your steed, thouroughly recommend it to anyone

plus it's night and day from terrorising the Tarmac in a golf  :evilgrin:

Very cool VC  :congrats:

Even since I did a 4x4 experience day many years ago at Silverstone I have always wanted to try this again  :driver:

was brilliant today, the hard ground meant i came home with no mud flaps and only 1 side step.. but already have new ones to bolt on  :grin:

the amount of mud still falling off the truck on the driveway is funny  :laugh:

if people wanna keep seeing them i'll post various adventures up as they occur throughout the year  :happy2:

the look of shame you get from other 4x4's in their shiny cars as you roll home covered in half a field is priceless  :pomppomp:

Does look like a good laugh, and cool to actually see a 4X4 doing what it was built for.
Do you do that on private land, or just anywhere you find that looks good for it?

There's alot of farm land down here, everyone slips the farmer a note and he let's us go crazy for the weekend, means we can camp over if we want and hit it at night too  :smiley:

....I don't know what you mean, TC!  :wink: Better late than never!



Your pics really convey the atmosphere at what goes on, VC (and puts me off any idea of going off road!).

You off to Jay at Miglior now?
