joining S.R.O.C soon in our 2a deisel can't wait :twisted:

Little-Green-Machine:
i dont think that we will have probs trialing , the old girl thrashes the backsides off all the 90's and everything else at pay and plays :D

Devon-Rover:
Well all going well the engine of choice will be a TDI in midly Tweeked format. So the same power as basic V8 but with the fuel economy that i can live with.

If i could affrord too and was still allowed to fix the landy outside then i would of kept her standard and used her to trial in. As i'm consistantly mid field and that is against a lot of good drivers and some well thought out landies.

Average RTV turnout for us is about 40 Land Rovers.

OK, went to Binner down today to watch. First impressions,

1 The courses were tight and not friendly to a LWB, there were a few longer vehicles (range rovers)  though that did ok, so its not like I wouldnt get past the 2nd gate and in 1 or 2 cases, a tactical "shunt" could be a real advantage.

2 I was amazed how good a standard 90 is!!!! I have only watched off road on TV and its different when you stare down a slope covered in rocks and rain.

3 My exhaust needs to be moved before I go anywhere!

4 The leaf spring stuff also was at a disadvantage, so LWB, Leaf and 2 1/4 petrol is likley to be hard work. There may be a plan B though, a double drive in a 90.

Devon-Rover:
Missed ya!

I was there. Managed to snap a rear halfshaft on the first section!  :evil:  Spent the rest of the day double driving my little brothers series 2.

Don't discredit the series motors, After all we are using a class system so you compete against others in your class, and not directly against everyone overall.

As for being tight........ Errrr TBH today was one of the middle one's I have known a lot tighter than that.


Still should of said or tried to find me. Would of sorted you a day's membership for a fiver and stuck you in the passenger seat for the day.  :lol:  It's a different ball game again actually driving the sections rather than looking at them.
