Utterly fantastic couple if days! The playground was indeed a learning experience for me! But really enjoyed it. Drive out yesterday was lovely through cheddar gorge and down to Bream sands. Decided to come home last night and beat the bsnk holiday traffic. Off out yo purchase a cf card reader to upload the many images from the dslr....lol x

Well and truly stuck. Many thanks to all that helped to tug me sideways










My only bit of damage

[lloydy]

you broke the disc! Wow, did you still drive it home?

[Peninsulakid]

Yes.

Very slowly the brakes were pulling really hard to the left, so didn't go over 55mph with plenty of gap to car in front.

As delboy says... he who dares...

Hi Elvis...camo sinka is mine....I bought it a couple of years ago from Kev in Surrey. He hadn't had it long. ..got a good deal on a doka...apparently he got it up north somewhere I think. But yeah...has had corners cut and is white inside! Was CJ's, eh? Pics uploading to pc...

Thanks to everyone for making us newbies more than welcome, all advice from a driving and technical perspective greatly received. Hopefully catch up again soon, this time with working diff locks and bash plates. Will add a few pics next.
