Slindon today

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

OK John has sent me a vid of the tracked motor, and it is just great, but think you all can see it on FB 4x4driving.co.uk but I am not sure on that one, but expect someone will know, I am going to look now but do not have a lot of luck finding what I want, Rick

Did you get wet driving through that Rick

 

[solarman216]

No not a drop came in, only the motor got wet and it washed all the mud off from previous playing, Rick
