Well....she did start talking about where stuff will go when we camp, so we are getting there. Slowly but surely

Great stuff, nice lane that one. Did you go to the pub at the other end? Have their own microbrewery, lovely.

p.s. watch your thumbs on the inside of the steering when it gets a bit rougher - can break a thumb if a front wheel gets caught and spins it!

The stoner behind the bar is a great laugh, reminds me of the day before kids

is it futbusses old one?
I wouldn't really worry about only having a rear locker, on trying my front one out, you can't even turn the steering wheel it just wants to go straight. Very unlikely it'll ever be used in anger, unless i get the bug and go more and more extreme with the offroading

Oh yeah? Have plans for me do ya? Seriously though can see how it gets addictive, i'm sure in two years time i'll be sitting in my mtdi powered, jacked up, mud terrain shod beast laughing at old pics of my bus, wondering how i got by with 60 odd HP
