Title: Started laning my 109 ffr
Post by: Laughing Potato on January 25, 2008, 20:50:30

I've wanted to do this for ages, now I can :evil:

Had an amazing day out laning today, don't think it could be much more varied in nature if we'd paid and played. I was able to put my Land Rover to the test much more than ever before, I'm still buzzing over it.

There was bomb hole, axle twisters and some huge slopes to negotiate. We even rescued a fallen cyclist as she was unable to get down the hill (mountain) on foot. Her bike went in the back on my Landy, and Cliff took her. It did mean a rather trick 3 point turn on a slope, and I now have a bent canvas hoop to show for it. (Cliffs good a seeing you back 2:))

With it now turning dark and starting to rain/sleet and snow we took the chance a took on the hill that the cyclists had said not too. It was tricky for me at a couple of points as I was at times just on the two wheels :o

My dad came along for the ride and loved it, I'll keep pushing, and he''l have a Land Rover by spring. You simply have to do this type of driving to fully get your head round how capable these machines are. Its 26 years young imo 28)

Here are a few of my best shots,
