Slindon 14th

solarman216 · 04-05-2017, 02:18

OK I have been so busy that have not had a chance to go off road to a pay and play site for ages, but definitely going to Slindon in West Sussex on the 14th anyone want to join me, either as a co driver or with your own motor, Rick

Go for it Rick, all work and no play and all that

Bit of a misson for me Rick but I'll certainly make at least one appearance when I have my winch fitted, nothing too extreme though, dents and gouges are a no no

solarman216 · 05-05-2017, 00:57

Zac you are most welcome to pop down and co drive with me, honestly I would not be taking a road going motor, there are only a few places that are suitable and they really are not that much fun, if you go places that are fun but no dents etc, you will most likely have to strip your rear brakes after and your rad will also be likely to need a de mudding before you drive home, one of the reasons I have not been for a long time apart from work pressure, is because my long standing winch girl Sarah, has not been well, and she is the life and soul of the party so to speak, so I really do need a co driver, I will go on my own but it is much more fun with two, Rick

I'll see if I can swap weekends to have my boy with the ex, if I can it would be ideal as I could bring you those cylinders too, she can be awkward though!!

Hi Rick, I'm up for a bit of a play on the 14th, I wont be doing to much ruff stuff as the missus uses the trol as her everyday driver. What time are you planning on getting there?

solarman216 · 05-05-2017, 21:23

I usually leave Bexhill about 10 and arrive about 11.30, the site does open at 10 but I am not an early bird, although can be if the need arises, would be good to see you there, Rick

You could bring your lad with you, have 3 seats in the off roader, or he could stay with Maggs for the day, just some ideas, Rick

Cool, see you there unless anything changes, I'll check the website before I set off just in case

Sorted the poor starting over the W/E, two glow plugs out, starter is still a bit sluggish but motor does not need to spin so fast now, stuck a new battery on for good measure, swapped two of the wheels today for Slindon ones, two more to do, winch ropes need a wash, D shackles need greasing, HB cables seized, but who needs a HB! Rick

solarman216 · 11-05-2017, 22:38

So Tdoug is going to join us as well, he is coming down Saturday stay overnight and off we go Sunday morning, looks like we will have some fun, Rick

terranosaurusdoug · 11-05-2017, 23:40

Oh yes

you guys should start a book on how many times I fall on my ass in the slindon mud

solarman216 · 13-05-2017, 10:48

There will be pics, Rick
