sunday 18th march 2012 a day at the farm

[supersurf]

well today myself and dave the tool man ventured down to the farm,
bearv8 farm to be exact,
where we went down into the bog,
to test daves new winch,
also to test out the new kinetic ropes,
both the shoguns new winch and the ropes worked perfectly  

we met with shaun and father



shaun getting the winch ready



we found some punches in the woods so we left a calling card  



oh no even the mud has a rusty colour from all the landrovers that come through





some very deep ruts



dave taking a walk round



shaun in the rangey



oh no not this again  



shaun had been down the track earlier and had to use the winch to pull him 90 feet
the winching had slightly flattened the battery
so a spare one was already in the boot just in case
now that is what you call going ready for action









out came the new kinetic rope to test out

















can you see me yet  



here i am  



we used the winch to pull us all over the place sideways across the tracks



shaun decided he wanted to check his engine again as he could not hear it  



we had a very muddy but great day out at the farm today
big thanks to shaun and family for letting us use there lovely farm
we even got to see the landrover collection
the past the present and the future models

yes we have seen shauns future build landrover today
its progress is slow but it looks great
cant wait to see it finished

It was a good day and proper muddy too 

Well impressed with the kinetic ropes, all the power of snatch towing but without the shock and potential for damage.  No whiplash either! 

Project "The Fox Hat" will be prioritised over the summer

its like the landrover version of a hummer 
cant wait to see it finished mate
well impressed with it so far
 

[suzuki matt]

Slap on hand for not using a tree strop

  i wondered were all the mud around the wash ramp came from 

 

[BearV8Classic]

Tell Dave we want that mud back, I think he is trying to smuggle it off to Umpah Lumpah land! 

The shogun did proper good because those ruts was deep!

[supersurf]

he is up to something mate,
funny enough today he did mention that he wanted some old tyres 

i think he want some plant pots like your dads filled with earth for the gateway to umpa land
