Bought Myself A New Toy!

[Guest cwing79]

Picking a Range Rover up tomorrow in an attempt to get it kitted out for some serious off roading.

 

Yes i know i should be finishing the hood off as well but it was too good an opourtunity to miss!

 

I know someone in the Herts area has a Range Rover any tips and good places to go?

 

ps. sighned off work at the moment some prat decided to slam into the back of my stationary car at 40 MPH i spent the evening in hospital wiplash and signed off work for 2 weeks! guess that gives me time to work on some projects.

well it sounds like your ok after your accident but hope you get better

i thought about getting a 4x4 kitcar when i was looking for the hood, wish i could have both

 

have fun

[Guest Stuart Ainslie]

Great toy !

 

Bob-tail it and fit a nice lift kit to it - job done...

 

There is a place in Sudbury (Suffolk/Essex border) that has proper facilites for off-road trials, can't remember the phone number though...

Good choice of car a Rangie, I used to have one got hit once in the drivers side , a fiesta shot out of a side road straight into me , didn't feel a thing, small dent in the bottom of the drivers side doors and a small dink in the rear wheel rim , total right off on the other car though, his front wheel pushed into the drivers door oops , all he could say was , my dad will kill me,

I just drove a chopped one that had been turned into a Pick V8 at Whitecliff 4x4 centre somewhere near Bristol.. Nice people. Give them a ring, they might be able to offer you some advise.

 

Let me know if you want number, I'll dig it out...

Wiplash is about £5,000 all in takes about 2 years, should fund your project but don't spend it first.

[Guest captn Pugwash]

have a look at www.photosportuk.com click on greenlaneing, see what a range rover can do in the mud

If you have a whiplash injury are you sure that 4x4ing is the best thing for it???

[Guest mreeves]

I only got £3000 for my wiplash accident in this

 

 

and then it took 2 year to sort out. So if anyone was delayed for 6 hrs on M6 junction with A414/M1 19th June 2002 I'm sorry it was not my fault.

 

Can anyone guess a ) what the car was and b ) what hit it.

looks like a megan or poss a punto???????

[Guest MikeD318]

Is it an MX5? Hit by a Chelsea tractor or a lorry?

[Guest alan rowe]

its a Renault Megane and was hit by something rather large I guess

[Guest mreeves]

Yep Megane soft top hit by a artic full of washing machines being pushed by another artic with a tired driver.

 

The front damage was from the third lorry we were pushed into. We were all doing 10 mph on the sliproad when the artic at the back hit us doing 60+, according to the taco's.

 

Moral never get between 2 or more lorrys.

My crash wasn't as bad as that!! wow you were lucky!!!

 

Picked up my V8 beast today all is well apart from it seems to be miss fireing a little its got new plugs and leads, any other suggestions?

 

Also yes the plan is to chop it down somehow probably into a pickup. Just need to start stripping it out, aah brings me back to my doner stripping days!
