Off Roading

Post by kies4 » Mon Mar 12, 2007 3:54 pm

me a few pals set up a £300 challenge to buy 4x4's to tackle a day of off roading.

we went to bures pit in essex. what a day, I was plagued by the vitara i purchased for £250 cutting out but I still had a great time.

we spent the day going up and down crazy angled inclines through water and over silly obsticles. I was amaged what the £250 vitara could do.

money spent per fun unit was tiny and my truck made it through to be wrecked again. You get the run of a 57 acre disussed pit for £25 per vehicle. what a bargain.

check it out here, I'm going back in two weeks, I got the bug.

I had to trailer the vitara up there half the back is made from expanding foam, it actually fitted on a flat bed transit. all fun and games. My mate got the bug s
and has bought a v8 rangy for 4k.

I'm just amazed at what a hairdressers motor can do !!!! I'm gonna raise mine up for £100 and fix the fuel pump. gonna keep it cheap.

10mph is fast enough at 45 degrees :)

dummi try it cheap its kin brill real grown up kid stuff
