sunday 23rd february 2014 smash and bash day

[supersurf]

yet another great days fun had by all  

we started the day with a big breakfast at the pub  

but were soon on our way

i jumped in with simon 74 for a catch up as i havent seen him for a while



















































oh my god what have they done to this lane    



simon seemed to get stuck on the only twig in the whole lane











someone left a packet of biscuits on the bonnet

so whilst tin basher was swapping a wheel over after he had the first puncture of the day

i thought it would be rude not to help myself  



oh yes they are very nice  









whats this simon  

waffle boards  

good job jimny bob had a set in the boot  





if king arthur had a chainsaw this would be it

what a beauty  



although i think its a tad big for that tree  



oh no now hes back with his new pick

last week he showed us the pixie shovel now hes got the matching pixie pick axe

what ever next i ask you  







a great lane to show how well the kinetic ropes work  









kev was doing his yoda impression

trying to magic the pajero out of the mud



more like mistic meg i reckon  









why is it whenever im in with simon he is so muddy  

he really is a dirty boy  

how do you get this dirty when you are in the car  







oh no something has broken  







kar.mat got out the bits and bobs bag of goodies to find a new nut and bolt





















wow now that is a dent  







we heard over the cb that tin basher had yet another puncture  

never thats the second one today

another sharp bit of slate through the sidewall  



kev had to get down and dirty to place the jack under the car





justa  quick check to find the hole  

yep its a gonner



the jack started to sink in the mud with the weight of the car  

this would not happen if you had a tracmat jack board kev    



with the car sinking kev had to dig out a hole to fit the tyre back on



with digging so fast kev burried the nuts  







a nice clean wash bay  



but not for long as simon wants to give the car a clean  



washing the car is just as important as checking the oil



good as new



simon realised how important the waffle boards are

so on his return he popped in to buy his very own set ready for next time  



as ever a very entertaining day out

big thanks to all that came out today

it was fun

till the next adventure

 


the video of the day is now on youtube

called smash and bash day 2
 

[jimny-bob]

Well trago didnt do a suitable bolt, so I limped home. But what a great day & a good laugh.

[supersurf]

as you can now all see

you must have your own recovery gear   

as its not fair on those who do have the equipment to keep lending it week after week

for those vehicles without a winch waffle boards are truly a must

along with shackles , kinetic ropes , jack boards , jack ect ect


so for all those members without the basic of equipment   

its about time you got your own gear

Hi

Looks like a great day out and some good pics !

so surprised neither of the rear side windows went with those savage roof dents !

Shame they ruined that lane,was a great 'scratchy' one if I remember right, rocky climb looked harsh !

 

[kar.mat]

Totally agree here if you are going to go out laning  I think you need to have the basics to recover yourself if needs be .
After sundays trip out I could see the need for even a second spare wheel as one of the trucks had two punchers  .
I have a couple of alloys that I may get a part worn tyre just to get you home if the worst was to happen 

[m_attt]

  which lane and how did you manage that roof simon?

[supersurf]

watch the video of the day

you can see it hit the tree     

[croc]

Looks like someone got a dent in the same place I did...... From the same tree too  looks like it was a good sloppy fun day  and yep fully agree bout recovery gear if your gonna get stuck best have the kit to get unstuck! 

[Simon74]

Well Mattt, it was in a lane where Lee said "I wouldn't take my truck down here, way too much damage!" 

To be honest reckon the tree saved a potential roll so think I got off lightly.

Ah well it was only a matter of time until the battle scars began.

[supersurf]

 

simon i think you got off lightly as we usually go up that one   

the last few months has taken its toll on that lane with the sudden appearance of the gully in the middle now

it was still great to watch

at least we got it all on video mate

 

[Simon74]

Put it this way, would I do it all again?....... Hell yeah!
