RTV in Series 3 LWB (is it for me?)
datalas:
You should be OK with a 109" as has been pointed out you will get the additional benefit of a shunt to be taken at your discretion on each section anyhow.
It might not be easy for you, but then again that's part of the challenge. Coupled with the fact that since LWB vehicles are reasonably rare the course will probably be laid out in such a way that it might be advantageous to have the extra couple of inches. If the COC is devious enough he'll be trying to cross axle everyone and of course, you'll not get caught up in something designed to upset a 90 :)
Thrasher:
I enjoyed trialling my 109" :)

TBH, most of the fun is getting to the limits of your vehicles capabilities, and coming out the other end unscathed.
It reminds me of being a complete nutter in my youth in a 957cc Fiesta, I could drift it round corners on the throttle, gear changes absolutely perfect, left braking to the last minute etc, all through practice -was a LOT of fun. Driving an Audi Quattro a few years later.... was fun, but you couldn't really get to the limit on public roads, so it wasn't as MUCH fun as the fiesta :)
Same thing applies, just it's a helluva lot safer at LR speeds ;)

I do rtv trials in my disco and everyone else is in 90's or shortened rangies and my mate goes round in her 110. Me and her have a good competition going and we both also have tow bars / ploughs so have to look at alternative lines. Sometimes I just hub a cane but alot of the time i am amzed of what I can do and get clear rounds.
It is a great laugh and I would say give it a go. you wont know until you try.
btw the kids (11-16yr olds) whip my derryair. It is amazing to watch them go round.

i must admit i think once ive got my v8 up and working im thinking trying a trial in it as the disco just keeps breaking anytime i even look at mud these days
