[Fow16v]

that looks awsome, time to start having some proper fun in it now then

[Brian Stirrup]

Looks like I wont be following you around the pits this weekend then...

Next mod on the Disco were these:











While John carried on with his:







And where we trimmed the doors down and they were double skinned it left a gap. So:







Then we went to the Off road day. Pics to follow of that, but the mods impressed me. I wanted to get stuck to see its limits. I did, and it was quite deep. As did John, who also went in deep but i got up hills others didnt, and that i didnt think i could. But unfortunately this week, i got towed home. I think i have a fuel issue so ill buy a new filter tomorrow and go from there. It runs and idles every so often but also cuts out. I wasnt mid lake or anything just driving so not sure at the mo. Not to worried though, itll get sorted.
Im now in two minds about the Fiesta. The XE could fund more Disco parts, which i think ill get more enjoyment out of, and the more bits i have on that, the more likely ill want it stored inside, as in where the Fiesta resides. I need to have a think and decide whether to get the Fiesta done, or flog all the parts ive accumulated and get the disco more 'off road ready'
Todays pics to follow...

Erm, ok??

[Steve!]

I am going to buy a 4x4 now, just cause of this thread

[Drizz]

Good. It makes sense!

[Brian Stirrup]

There is one good reason to buy a 4x4 and this much fun is just a bonus.....

[Steve!]

will there be a quarry around here?

[Drizz]

No idea!

[Steve!]

What I meant was... who, where, what and why organise the events you go to?

[Drizz]

The land owner does it privately for profit LOL
