ITS THE MONTHLY TRIP TO WOODLANDS. NOW THAT I HAVE MOVED TO KENT, WOODLANDS IS MY LOCAL MUD PIT. UNFORTUNATLEY TONKA IS STILL IN KNUTSFORD WITH OVERLAND COMPONENTS HAVING A STEEL FRONT AXLE MADE. SO READ ON AND ENJOY THE PICS

 

WHEN WE ARRIVED WE FOUND THAT THE ROAD TO HELL HAD BEEN MODIFIED WITH A JCB AND WAS ALMOST BONE DRY ... TOO GOOD TO MISS A RUN THROUGH.

 

SHARONS DAD

 

AND ANDIE FOLLOWED AS WELL.

 

YOU SHOULD OF HEARD THE BANG WHEN THE GUY DRIVING THIS FREELANDER GROUNDED IT OUT ON A SMALL HILLOCK

 

ANDIE GETTING REAR AIR

 

NICE JEEP WITH LADY DRIVER.

 

THE GUY DRIVING THIS LADA WAS PUSHING IT SO HARD HE HAD BUST THE REAR AXLE. THIS IS THE POINT WHEN HE BLEW THE FRONT AXLE UP AS WELL.

 

SUZUKIJON GETTING AIR

STUCK SJ ... NOTE THE REAR DOOR RADIATOR MOD

 

STUCK V8 BOBTAIL RANGE ROVER

 

THIS ONE TOOK A BETTER LINE AND GOT THROUGH WITH A DECENT SPRAY OF MUD BEHIND HIM

 

JOHN SACKLEY

 

SCOTTYDOG

 

THE NEXT FEW PICTURES ARE OF THE VIAGRA VITARA DOING ITS THING. NO WORDS NEEDED AS THE PHOTOS SAY IT ALL

 

 

 

 

 

 

SCOTTYDOG SMOKES RUBBER ON FLINT

 

HE WAS GOING NOWHERE, SO JOHN AND I DECIDED TO HELP OUT

 

ALL IT TAKES IS A LITTLE TEAMWORK

 

SOME OF THE GUYS ON THE BANK GAVE ANDIE SOME STICK FOR CHOOSING THE EASY WAY OUT, SO SHE WENT BACK AND DID IT THE HARD WAY ..... WELL DONE ANDIE

 

PLENTY OF RANGE ROVERS OUT PLAYING TODAY .... I CAN'T SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THEM SEEING AS SHARON AND I JUST BOUGHT A 3.5 V8 RANGE ROVER TO PUT A BLITZ KIT ON.

 

AWESOME SJ'S

 

THIS SJ WAS GETTING THRASHED AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST

 

AND HE THRASHED IT TIL IT CAME OUT. IT WAS RUNNING A FORD 1.6 CROSSFLOW (ESCORT) ENGINE. PITY HE RIPPED THE SUMP PLUG OFF IT GETTING OUT. NICE IF NOT SMELLY DISPLAY .

 

SLOW AND EASY .. THIS VIT DOES IT ALL

 

THIS LANDY WENT IN SO HARD, ALL THE STUFF IN THE BACK JUMPED ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE BLUE THING IN THE BACK WAS LYING DOWN.

 

HERE IT IS AGAIN, SMOKING ITS WHEELS ON WIPEOUT HILL

 

V8 BOBTAIL RANGE ROVER HAD NO PROBLEMS

 

FLEX

 

BACK INTO THE ROAD TO HELL

 

ME DRIVING THIS TIME

 

I NEEDED A HAND FROM JOHN SACKLEY TO GET OUT. ... ALL IN ALL A GREAT DAY AT WOODLANDS. NO DAMAGE TO ANY OF THE TRUCKS WE TOOK. SEE YOU ALL AT THE NEXT ONE ... MAYBE TONKA WILL BE READY BY THEN
