It's based on the "official" CO2 output figures as stated on the V5 (log book)

Too right mate ........ like I said in original post, at least Dirk Turpin wore a 3-pointed hat (and a mask) ..... at a loss as to where it'll end - the motorist is just a "soft touch"

Is there (or is there going to be) an April photo competition?

Too right mate - 225g/km is not particularly "generous" ......... many vehicles will fall into this category, incl loadsa MPVs!

Well, sadly it looks like the robbin' b*****s (sorry government) have finally made up their minds about vehicle taxation. But they don't seem to have shouted about it like they did when they deffered the decision a few months back, even though it's going to be "slipped in" from 1 May this year...

Don't worry .......... all 4x4's are welcome ....... just make sure you've got good recovery points ;o)

Mav - good to speak to you too - sorry it's been so long since I've been on the site (looking even better than before btw). back on topic ........ I think they limit it to around 60 motors purely on "logistics" grounds ..... it's hard enough for them to keep 60 motors together, without causing...

I help out with BOFA4x4 at Cannock Chase and we're currently waiting on the "new" dates for the coming twelve months. To put anyone's mind at rest, the groups are usually split into two: - newbies / shineys - more modified motors We get many "first timers" - just ask to go in Colin's group...

MAC 4x4 UK Challenge 2010 Good luck with the fund raising lads n lasses .......... that's what it's all about afterall. Having done the event for the last three years (2007 - 2009 incl) ... we're "having a year off" from the MAC in 2010. Many members may remember that you helped Mick & I...

BOAT = Byway Open to All Traffic ORPA = Other Road with Public Access I've found a few lanes around our area mate - send me a PM (either via NFMOC or www.bofa4x4.co.uk) and I'll send you a list. They really need checking out - was gonna havea go after the MAC Challenge in early March - so if...

The motor did well last Sunday mate - glad to have you out with us :smile: But the ole tow bars can be a 'bit of a plough' at times

It runs OK on Vista. Mem Map works great with a GPS dongle (I prefer to use a 'hard wired' USB one, but friends also run Bluetooth connections). Free download? .... that'd be nice! Mem Map is good, but isn't cheap. If you do a lot of laning, then it's certainly worth the outlay. There are...

Spot on Andy! I always talk to my motor, tell her she's 'just gonna walk up it' and not have any problems (oh and touch the gate post on the way up for luck). Seriously though, there's nothing like the feeling when you drive up yourself. Stanage is also one of those lanes that changes...

The "lifting rings" featured in the eBay ad don't seem that good. Proper lifting rings or "JAte rings" bolt directly to the LR chasis and spread the load throug the chasis when making a recovery. The ones in the pic seem a bit "light weight" (imho)

Think you might well be right there Andy :wink: As for the "bag jacks" - personally never used 'em ..... got far too much ground clearance

For what you'd spend on a "decent" Tirfor http://www.liftingsafety.co.uk/manual_cable_pullers.html The "turfer" (think they got the spelling wrong) on the previous post just doesn't seem strong enough - might be fine for moving a lightweight wobbly box, but not for recovering a 4x4 from the...

Disco3 wheel base is: 114" RR Classic, Disco 1 & 2 and Freelander: 100" Hope this helps .............

Cracking day out yesterday on the C.O.R.C. event Andy - great pics. Glad all enjoyed it. Sorry I couldn't make this weekend (but it's only the second weekend I've had off since beggining of September and out every one between now n Xmas). Certainly coming down Stanage is easier than trying to...

WELL DONE ! :smile: :smile: :smile:

Couldn't agree more Andy - recovery is best not done on 'green lanes' as they are legal RoW, in the same way you wouldn't get your recovery gear out on the M6 !! We ran a dedicated off road day last year for the boys n girls of NFMOC at my dad's farm and to make it a bit more interesting, we...
