Title: I've got a Landie!
Post by: dew1911 on April 24, 2006, 07:28:40

I've got myself a Land Rover!!

Although, driving it to work may be a bit hard...

And it's suspension articulation is nothing to write home about

Still, didn't stop us tackling some off road, as soon as we had a recovery team there for safety

I hope so, if not I'm sure the AA Van has.

Is it the 1/43rd or the 1/18th scale??

I've got the 1/18th

Title: I've got a Landie!
Post by: dew1911 on April 24, 2006, 10:24:26

I know it's not that one, mines got a Winch :D

Must be 1/43, I can't check now as I'm about 20 miles away from it.

One thing you can't see, in the pic where the mines coming down, the entire back of the Landie is supported by the Mud-Flap. No wonder the AA Van turned away.

Right, it's time for some Serious Action:
http://members.mud-club.com/profiles/dew1911/gallery/Offroad
Started off as a simple run down the hill, before I had to go round the banked corner and into the bomb hole, it was out of their, into a small hole with one side then down into the tunnel.

Once along the tunnel you came out and over a serious bump, before onto the "Rocky Road".

Shame I now need to repair the front bumper, but hey, we've all had off road damage haven't we :D
