since we drove through all the water we had a squealing from the belts so decided to have a quick check

(http://i888.photobucket.com/albums/ac88/leesupersurf/17%2003%202013%20roadrotties%20first%20day%20out/DSC04580_zpsc5a696c1.jpg)

grendle was taking a quick look

(http://i888.photobucket.com/albums/ac88/leesupersurf/17%2003%202013%20roadrotties%20first%20day%20out/DSC04581_zps1eb2ba78.jpg)

we didnt get to much further when we noticed the squeal has turned into a rumble

(http://i888.photobucket.com/albums/ac88/leesupersurf/17%2003%202013%20roadrotties%20first%20day%20out/DSC04588_zps682addd5.jpg)

Spot on,
At was great....bought the paj, on a whim......best purchas for ages....
Great day out, sun shine all day, lots of mud too, and lots of techie lanes..
Used to many of them as a quad rider, didnt think they could be done in a 4 x 4, but supersurf sorted that,!!!!!
Defo a new hobby for me, loving the paj.
Oh, and if your out laning, and find a number plate, its mine! ( if it matches the rear, if not then its not mine...lol)

Will load pictures once im on pc....
Cheers guys for letting us come along, nice bunch of guys...see you for the next one,,,,
