Maybe some others should have driven it.. but the concensus was that it was far too difficult and potentially damaging..

Och nooo Simon :)

Many have been there 4 or 5 times now and driven it every time, in campers and in the wet. But it's true our vans are all becoming more precious as the years go by... :wink:

You did make it look too easy, the perfect line... and we didn't want first-timers having a crack at it, dry or not.

This is how the wiki should be used, and I am sure that fix applies to petrol models also. Nice one Clive.

Firstly a movie clip of Patrick starting the German trial. The sound on my camera is rubbish, but you will get the drift ...

:oops: Need to work at my smooth power delivery as well as my language. Now where is that swear box?

Just got round to catching up with the post event banter after spending the following three weeks in the NE and then back to work bigtime.

I had a fab time, so thanks to ALL the peeps who made it happen. Also, Monday laning was through beautiful countryside, although the wife wasn't too keen about the sheep-pooy cab step from the sheep dip ford. Serves me right for trying to go through fast enough to wash SyncroAndy away with my bow wave.

I look forward to Roger's new toy when it has a working VC. He's definitely not afraid to get stuck! He is fearless and we discovered some new parts of the site to explore next year.

SP 2011 is in my diary already.
