OFF THE ROAD TV programme

[bezzabsa]

Watched this this afternoon, all about off road trials - the things with 2wd's trying to get as far into a lane as possible....the idiots were churning up a green lane like only a tank could.foot to the floor and spinng the tyres. and WE the responsible 4x4's cop all the flak.. what made it worse was TONY MASON stood there like a prize pratt saying " and all of this is on road tyres and on a public road"
talk about adding fuel to the fire!!

sorry to Rant, but if someone saw a landy doing that.. god help us!!!!

[Sharpshooter]

I have seen alot of these. I think they were shot a long time ago. But your right in saying, fuel on the fire. As most people will assume it is done by 4x4's.

You got the bit right about Tony "[!expletive deleted!]" Mason too.

Off the road is on discovery real time extra now. I think the programme you refer to is on at midnight. It's a bit crap but it's not often you get anything to do with off roading on telly. I agree with your point about ripping lanes up though, it's just not necessary.

Watching one of those programs (with the Scammells and other military vehicles playing in a quarry) is what made me decide to get a Land Rover.

I'd always wanted one, but that was the final decider. After the program finished, I went straight and attacked e-bay. :D

The cars ripping up green lanes were participating in a classic trial, possibly the oldest established motor sport in the country with all events properly licensed and approved by the MSA.

yes , but do the 'anti 4x4 ' brigade know this when they complain about greenlanes and byways being ruined by motorised vehicles?

[BrumLee]

When we went laning on Sunday, we turned into one lane and there were seven road vehicles parked up. I can only assume they belong to ramblers as there was plenty around. Should I take their numbers and report them to GLASS if I see them again

Were they drinking tea Lee :oops:  :oops:  :oops:
