Okay, we all know Jeep is awesome and all, and I'm definitely bringing the XJ, but would my brother get a large kick in the nut sack if he came along too in his bog-standard Discovery??

as long as he don't try to keep up he should be OK, seem to remember quite a few discos dieing at CF over the last few years

Regardless of what folk come in they MUST have good front & rear recovery points, bent a very blingy A bar on a standard Disco a couple of years ago but it was that or leave it in the horse-shoe

So, now that the dust has settled, what's the crack with my brother's disco?
Would it cause too much of a ruckus if he brought it along? I don't want to tread on any toes or anything

(I am trying to convert him to the ways of the Jeep

)

Nosebolt · « **Reply #112 on:** August 02, 2012, 01:30:28 PM »

as said before, as long as the vehicle is safe (clubs discretion, will be inspected before it's allowed on the course) and they abide to the same rules we impose on ourselves (no dicking around / unsafe driving) then should be OK if he comes with a member.

not wanting to sound to harsh but it is one strike and your out, sorry has to be that way to protect the club and the members at the event.

Well I am up for having a few beers around a camp fire and I am also happy to take a days annual leave in the Friday to help do any setting up etc and also hang around Sunday to help clear up.

Just need someone to PM me in advance to tell me what is needed.

As for the Disco, My mate Steve brought his shogun last year and was welcomed by all, and has been since.

Nosebolt · « **Reply #114 on:** August 03, 2012, 10:24:39 PM »

as it stands, with the last few bad months, unless some new work shows up we won't make it this year, can't justify the £150 petrol spend with bills un-paid

nomadsz · « **Reply #115 on:** August 11, 2012, 09:46:16 PM »

UNfortunatley due to WORK commitment i wil not be able to attend as it is the same weekend as a major truck show.

Brynjaminjones · « **Reply #116 on:** August 11, 2012, 10:52:04 PM »

I'm afraid I won't be able to make it either... I have too many things I have to save for, so just can't afford the fuel to get there. I'd have loved to have come, sorry

Bubba · « **Reply #117 on:** August 12, 2012, 08:58:45 AM »

its cool guys times are hard everywhere catch at the next one

Tragic · « **Reply #118 on:** August 12, 2012, 03:50:43 PM »

Been absolutely flat out at work for months now, a minor promotion means I'm even busier and working even longer hours than I was before. At least I'm getting paid for it! On top of that, I have friends with car troubles and after a few beers I forget how to say 'No'. Ive also just sold my Passat to a guy in Germany and have to sort the ABS issues before he collects it next week, which basically means I've had absolutely zero time or energy to rebuild my axles on the Jeep

Ribbo mud is NOT a recommended lubricant......

Fuck it, I need a weekend away with the Jeep. If it breaks, it breaks. So be it.

Think I'll bring a trailer

Dave69 · « **Reply #119 on:** August 12, 2012, 08:53:43 PM »

Wasnt that your view last time out

Tragic · « **Reply #120 on:** August 14, 2012, 07:57:49 PM »

Yup

If it aint broke, fix it till it is

Dave69 · « **Reply #121 on:** August 20, 2012, 08:57:34 PM »

Ok with work getting more imminant unfortunately that takes priority especially when it involves working away for the week. So there's a high chance i wont be there

Tank · « **Reply #122 on:** August 20, 2012, 10:00:49 PM »

I will do my best to pop along but it will only as a spectator due to financial and vehicle difficulties.Job i was gearing towards has fallen through

JamesH · « **Reply #123 on:** August 21, 2012, 05:17:13 PM »

Do I need to be taxed and mot'd? Both run out this month and will supper my cheapfest plans completely (feel free to lecture me on lack of planning blah, blah...)

Will be trailering obviously

jay140285 · « **Reply #124 on:** August 21, 2012, 05:18:07 PM »

Others came on trailers last year mate so I think you will be fine.
