As per norm there will be at least 20 punches out on the site to find and get too.

As there seems to be a fair few Jeepers coming

All those that wish to have a Punch Card tagged onto their truck? See me and I'll sort out a card for you

There also will be a 10 gate trials section put up somewhere on the SatUrday and Moved for the Sunday for peeps to have a go at too.

Theres no prizes to be had from either, just bragging rights between you and fellow Jeepers

Any Questions

Mark, i have 60 punch cards printed and laminated

So will it be another short wheelbase trial section, or will an xj fit this ye :lol_hitting:ar

JamesH · « **Reply #4 on:** September 05, 2012, 08:13:58 AM »

Donk, I normally approach trials with the aim to get through the canes, all that fussing about shunts and reversing is a waste of time in an XJ (especially when it's as wide as the gates the suzuki triallers like to set)

robsrotti · « **Reply #5 on:** September 05, 2012, 08:41:39 AM »

I dont care how wide the gates are because I have never driven my XJ off road yet, come to think of it I've only driven it about 15 miles. So it will be fun trying and you guys will have plenty of gates to replace. Bring it on

Im just goin over the gates

May even go mad and try and collect my first ever punch - Sid gets the hump each event coz my attention span isnt long enuff for punches

bigjeepzj · « **Reply #7 on:** September 05, 2012, 09:08:07 AM »

you got spare prop shafts this time

donk498 · « **Reply #8 on:** September 05, 2012, 10:11:28 AM »

It wasn't the gates that were the problem it was the trees it didn't fit between

And I'm fresh out of spare props now, need to refurb a couple

killed another one a few weeks ago.

Be warned, the majority of those that drove over the canes in the trials section ended up with a battle scare or two

To give ya an incentive not to hit them, they are made out of 10mm steel....

Think they even done a bottom hose at West Harptree, due to a Red CJ5 driving over one!

The key to a trials section is to drive through the gate, not over

If there's enough interest in the trials we could hold a wee gathering on the Saturday afternoon? Give y'all all something to chat about around the Fire?

Whattya reckon?

donk498 · « **Reply #12 on:** September 05, 2012, 11:20:26 AM »

Sounds like a plan, I'm up for it

willo · « **Reply #13 on:** September 05, 2012, 12:54:30 PM »

Yup sounds cool. Finally...... Got my front winch to work, so if any punches could need to be winched to that would be good!

BD sid can jump in with me. Though we may need a step ladder so he can get in

wildwood · « **Reply #14 on:** September 05, 2012, 12:58:43 PM »

Trials.....mmmmn yes please. should be very interesting with full width chev front axle

JamesH · « **Reply #15 on:** September 05, 2012, 01:02:26 PM »

By the sounds of it I'm not the only wideboy with the turning circle of an oil tanker

willo · « **Reply #16 on:** September 05, 2012, 01:16:06 PM »

If I can get the front(fsj width) through I'm good

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #17 on:** September 05, 2012, 01:36:52 PM »

Cheers Willo - he stoked - altho i think he may be havin viokent halo fantasies once i told him he will hav to wear a headset

Molotov is a wee tiny beast so will be quik n nimble on the gates

MOCAJ · « **Reply #18 on:** September 05, 2012, 01:53:04 PM »

guys, just a bit of safety stuff.

Got no problem with Sid been Willos bitch but we must remember its potentially a very dangerous time, he is an enthusiastic young guy and may not see dangers so you must look after him big time.

And remenber the punches and trials section are just for fun, no competition here so have fun but please do it safe
