As stated, big job now pretty much finished looking to go OFF ROAD on Sunday 26th at Slindon near Chichester, but as of this moment have no co driver, anyone wanting to join me either as co driver or if you fancy taking your own motor (will only let you do the easy bits but even then you may need a winch, I have two) then great, look forward to hear, Rick

Not to worry, meets are every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month for Slindon and 1st Sunday for Piccadilly wood, so next time you are this way near a weekend give me a shout, I intend to get back into it now the pressure is off, for now at least, he is talking of buying a place in Hastings that is in a bit of a mess, so I am going to play while I can, Rick

Well you are only 4 hours away, Mr Rand came down today for some repairs and expected to stay overnight but all work completed today but he stayed anyway, you could come down Saturday stop over go off road (for a real experience) and go home happy Sun eve or even stay over and go home Mon, you can do it, Rick

Rick, did you get any where near sorting your snapped drive shaft issues ?
I've just smashed one inner cv and the opposite side shaft.
I blame my awesome power and heavy right foot but still need to look for as new solution.
Any thoughts ?
LOKKA is good but at the pay off of reduced turning circle, have you noticed the same ?

I removed the MAF amp that is all, plus driving a little less aggressively, have not noticed any reduced turning circle, and can see no reason why the Lokka should have any effect, Rick

Pete I know exactly what you mean!!!! The LOKKA does make the turning circle worse sometimes, depends how much wind up is in the box and how sharp the corner is :thumb2

... and how much beans you're giving her at the time :sly

Saying that though, if you're on mud (as Rick suggests) I've found I can turn sharp enough to impress a chap in a Defender 90, though purposefully kicking out the back a little did help :augie

You're exactly right, mine was bloody faultless on the snow in Shropshire with Elts
