Look forward to going back!

:D Hope you guys had a good time, and would want to come back at some point :thumbright:
I did say bring your wellies :whistle: :lol:
The log incident was a bit special, not once have I known a vehicle come off those logs, the tree that James nearly hit is quite a common 'point of contact', but the logs...We'll have to add 'James' logs' to the map I think :mrgreen: :lol:
In fact, I had the rear view camera on when the D3 fell of the logs, but as it was two cars back you can only just make out the point of impact :shark:
Cracking day, good weather, good company, what more can you ask :thumbright:

Just back from a weekend oop north.

Thanks Richard and the Tong team for a great day on Saturday. Seem to have taken a chunk out of the compressor casing :shock: so a job there but its still working (so far!).

Holiday Inn across the road was good, and our family group of 7 had the entire restuarant to ourselves all night on Saturday as the rest of the hotel was being used for a wedding :thumbright: Food was good, too.

All in all a great weekend - lots fun getting young Sam to spot me around some very tight trees on some of the black routes.

Thanks again :thumbright: :thumbright:

Tony & Sam


If anyone is interested this is the 12v nut gun I have in the boot for changing wheels:

Hmm.... Yarwell... brilliant site.... D3 not cutting the mustard? See here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IFC3mLCRdQ The only cars to do this climb that day, despite many trying, were a seriously tricked up Suzuki and my D3 - me coaching, my brother driving..... no damage apart from bent(er) side tubes (they were already bent!). So I'll hear none of that "......wouldn't tackle in a D3" because they hold their own against the rest and in most cases beat them hands down if you have the appetite to do it. Bring on Tong! :thumbright:

Why? It's accepted the sign up? Maybe you should close the sign up option then Neil.
