Re: Tong: Club Site Event 19th March 2011
Hope you guys had a good time, and would want to come back at some point
I did say bring your wellies
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
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
Cracking day, good weather, good company, what more can you ask

Re: Tong: Club Site Event 19th March 2011
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 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 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
Tony & Sam
If anyone is interested this is the 12v nut gun I have in the boot for changing wheels:

Great news, I'm in! I hear Rebecca will be doing some cunning reversals this winter so it should be a different , but no less better, than when we've been before

There's no "i" in team but there are 5 in individual brilliance...

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.

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