MUSKIE:
bought a series 3 swb and fancy a go at trialling but never done it before, do you have to have a roll cage and harnesses and stuff.

Bush Tucker Man:
Depends what you want to do.
A 'RTV' (Road Taxed Vehicle) trial merely requires that your motor is road-legal (tax, Mot & -presumably- insured)
Also that it has sufficiently strong recovery points, you provide your own recovery rope/strap as well.

There's also 'TYRO' Trials (beginners), these -dependant on the Club- allow 16year olds to drive.
Usually a lot gentler than a RTV

Leave the CCV trials (Cross Country Vehicle) alone for a while :lol:

strapping young lad:
i think i am correct in thinking that there are two standards

MSA
ARC

if you joing your local lr club (who are competitive) you will find out from them what you need.

also there is a regs book telling you what you need/do to do trialling..

dunno bout msa though

MUSKIE:
that brings me to another issue "clubs" they are so clicky, my local one is ENLROC (EAST NORTHANTS) i was a member a few years ago but was always treated like an outsider. didnt matter what you did they were all in clicky little groups and noone wanted to turn up to anything or put themselves about. all they wanted to do was criticise each other and backstab.

I live in Rushden and trial with both Peterborough 4x4 Club and AWDC.
For RTV you do not need a cage for either club, basically you need an MSA approved extinguisher, 2 throttle springs and recovery points.  P`boro events are very relaxed with sic tests in the morning and playing in the afternoon, while the AWDC tends to be a lot more intense and competitive, both good fun though.  Obviously as a Niva driver I know nothing about ARC rules.
