Who is up for joining me at Slindon, with all this rain it promises to be a real good mud bath, Rick

Oh wow sounds like a great off road session, I’ll be up for a visit in the warmer months but unfortunately I’m working this time around.

Have a great time guys

Well had a good day today, First up was a tug o war, but nobody came forward so John Morgan asked me to back up to the marker line, stuck a strap on my tow ball and held the other end in the air, that was too much for a landy but on looking at his motor I thought I was going to get mauled, he had very wide large wheels 36 plus at a guess and a big engine, all hooked up and on the shout I dropped the clutch at full pedal, dug 4 deep holes and so did he, result was a draw, all the others I won apart from a tracked vehicle and the one in the pic

You can see the drag marks where he pulled me, John took pics and vid of all so soon as I send him my Email he promised to forward to me, so watch this space, Rick

Foden 6x6 with a RR 220 Eagle, worked on those in the 70's he mullered me but did have to say that he thought he could just use low box on idle but soon realized he had to give it a bit of welly, I was quite happy, Patrol V Foden, love it, Rick
