Title: one o them days
Post by: Xtremeteam on December 13, 2004, 21:29:55

went to drumclog yesterday for a pay n play day with scotwest 4x4,spent all day in every hole & up & down the river all day with out the V8 missing a beat even when the water was up to the seats,made my own route in the stream out in the corner from the quarry & was quite chuffed with the lack of damage,well a grill & headlight full o water & no handbrake,was a 140 mile round trip aswell (loadsa fun in a soft top 90 with a blowin exhaust),got up this mornin 2 go 2 work & park it up till boxin day & got up the end o the street & discovered i had no clutch,abandoned the vehicle & got a lift to work & arrived 1/2 hour late,got home & attempted 2 bled the clutch which was fun,got enough of a clutch to manuver it but now needing a slave cylinder & a master  :cry:

Dunbar was great, :D  but must remember and remove the door tops next time, as a means of escape for when the 90 starts to sink :shock: , just like it did when we drove up the river bend. Trying to squeeze out a series door top or the three inch gap that was the door opening due to the river bank, to put the rope on, just doesnt happen, and i have the bruises to prove it eh Michael,lol

Just cos you had no handbrake was no reason to park it in a mud bank..

i, that would be that exact corner! Be that a lesson to you fellow passengers, never trust your driver, when they have a waterproof V8 and a mad max style grin on their face :D it always ends up in the navigator going for a swim! lol
