« 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

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40

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
