[supersurf]

well we started our day fun at the lord louis pub for our all you can eat breakfast £3.99

 

a plate of pure happiness

we were not in a rush today as spoonboy was meeting us

he had to drive 50 miles just to get to plymouth  

so he arrived just as we were finishing our plate of pure happiness

perfect timing  

so off we went

todays line up the all v6

you could just smell the petrol in the air  







































what a lovely day



this was where our afternoon would take a turn for the worst

i said over the cb this next lane is good but it will be interesting to see how we go

as with the ground being so damp we could slide into the gully  

so in we go



all good for the first 25 feet

then the car slipped down the bank into the gulley  



so out came the winch to pull the car up again  

but the car went over even more and the engine died

due to the angle of the car the fuel pump could not pick up the fuel so the engine died  

not a good place to be with no engine running

we had 4 people hanging off the side of the car for ballast

its a good job they all had 2 portions of breakfast as it showed  

spoonboy was behind me a came in a little more



then also slipped into the gulley  



but its ok we he reversed back to get out without and dramas

then i look back down the lane and he has only decided to come back in

after we spent an hour getting mine out  

but he has now dropped into the gulley again

so now i had to reverse back down the lane to pull him out

you will never guess what happened next  

yep im in the gulley again when only moments ago i was free  

but now im stuck again

so we deployed the winch again to pull me out

then decided to play it safe a run several ropes back down the lane to his car



with a few slapps with the kinetic rope spoonboy was free from the gulley

but not without its damage  

i had scuffed the wheel arch



and broke the end off the roof spoiler    



whilst spoonboy had done the wing



the door



the rear arch



the roof



not suitable to be driven back on the public highway like that

so we set to work

spoonboy jacked her up so that we could get the body kit bolts undone



within minutes it looked a lot better  





then it was time to go home

first port of call is the jet wash





always wash down your mess

even under the truck



leave the wash bay as you would expect to find it



and that concludes yet another fine days fun

big thanks to all that came out today

especially daniels passengers

as without there combined ballast weight

my car would still be stuck in the lane

till the next adventure

 

the video of the day is now on youtube

Looks like you guys had a great day out 
This is such a great photo,just goes to show what these trucks can do .

 
Missed a good day I think ,never mind next time 

[spoonboy]

Hi all

Well what a day..

The weather was kind as we headed out into the wilderness



plenty of rain has meant plenty of lovely mud.



a very clear day you could see for miles 





we were having lots of fun and covered a lot of lanes without any problems.



We went along a few very long lanes and I was thinking 'are we there yet ?' when Lee said on the Citizen Band Radio that he was heading to V Lane...

I hadnt been there and Lee said it would be fun and we might get stuck...sounded ok

Until straight away...



so some team work was needed for quite a lot of winching,some digging and riding the shoggie as ballast...





So no-one with any sense would follow that....



but all is well that ends well...



Now all I need to do is find some Gripfill...

looks like another good day i missed  cant wait till work eases off a bit so i can get out again. missing the mud 

[supersurf]

it just goes to show the ever changing lanes

only a few weeks ago we did this one without any trouble

but a bit of rain can change the lane in no time at all

we knew we would have difficulties going in

but proceeded with caution

again all the recovery gear was used

you can never have enough recovery gear

but what a great day out

we will never forget 

awesome

 

[supersurf]

a few scratches



just like magic

overnight the pixies have cleaned the car & polished out all the scratches

ready for its next adventure

the damage is not bad at all

considering it was dragged 30 feet up a lane on this side of the car yesterday

it just goes to show that my rock sliders do exactly what they are supposed to

with three people standing on them for ballast holding onto the shogun roof bars its a very user friendly car   

[Grendle]

I'm really pleased I didn't take the G! Looks like loads of fun!

[supersurf]

grendle your G wagen would not fit up that lane even on a dry day

and we would not of let you try 

as im sure we would not have got it out the other end

Great day indeed, my pictures coming soon but in the meantime here a cool video of spoonboy in slow motion:

[spoonboy]

Its videos like Daniels and Lee's that do show that we play hard and sometimes its bound to go wrong.

I think we could have got the G up there using team work..... 4 club members with a hacksaw each .....cabriolet !


 A day of the fun.Good pics and videos....to hell with the damage.

Lee can u send your fairies cos the Cornish ones have said they will do it dreckly 

[supersurf]

mate ive seen the work of those cornish pixies   

dont let them near it

they will match the dented side

and smash the good side to match
