This Weekend I Mostly...

[LowStandards]

...Went Off Roading!

Take my good friend Bladerunner30's standard 1985 v8 Rangie here


Do this


This


And this


Then try and sink it


And you end up with an engine bay like this


And an exterior like this


With a face like this ;D

[Rob]

promptly added to my "to do" list...

looks ace.

[Russell]

I want one of my rangys back

[LowStandards]

I'm hooked now, its was our first time and were definatly going again! I cant believe how well the standard car did!

I'm currently in the process of purchasing a sh*tter from the 'bay, i'm gonna build myself a special using just the rolling chassis and a bit of roll cage action!

Gonna use a Fourtrak chassis


And build this up on top of it


Its basic and i'll get muddy, but its cheap(ish) and fun!

[Mr S]

Come on now Phil, it's a 1986 Rangie, get your model year right

Was the best day I've had in ages, mint!

[autohausdolby]

Wrongness!

Throw the 'mud scoop' on the front and those side steps in the bin immediately and go and do it properly.

Seriously, for all those who have never tried this sort of thing - get out there and do it! It's the best fun you can have without going fast ;D
Oh and it's a pretty cheap hobby to as long as you don't take it too seriously

Really must get my series 3 welded up so I can get back out there ;D

[briandamaged]

Was that Avon Dassett???

I'm supposed to be doing a Play Day up at Coney Green near Stourport next month if I can get the electrics sorted out, it's utterly addictive....and great fun watching the staff's faces at garages when you pull in on the way home to use the jetwash!!

Only downside is if you get carried away, then it's the next three weekends fixing busted diffs, halfshafts, bashing panels straight, etc etc etc... :-)

[Mr S]

This was at Sibbertoft, the day organised by OGX (www.o-g-x.co.uk). Right next to Coventry Gliding Club, near Market Harborough in Leicestershire.

[lordyoung1980]

The mud scoop went in the bin months ago when i fitted the bullbar and the side steps help my girlfreind(Short legs)Get in ;D

[hairnet]

do you hire it out ;D

i wanna go

[Kris]

I've been having naughty thoughts about Range Rovers

[bobz]

I saw a Range Rover and a Defender that had been out playing yesterday, and thought..... I want to come!
