I had booked my holidayto include the GRR 14th Nov. Seeing as this is now the 21st, I have some spare time.
Who is free and fancies going to Drumclog weekend 13th / 14th Nov
-
Assuming I pass an MOT in a week or so I'd expect to be there
-
OK so tgreer wont be there :P
Assuming my latest adition passes its mot also i will be there
had a great time last time
and before anybody asks yes i have a spare fan belt :P
Cheers Bill
-
any more of you're cheek and I'll sabotage all of your machines :P and you.... mind you... you do that yourself :P
-
I'll be there.
Cheers
Luke
-
Sounds like a good idea - I'll ask on the D3 forum if anyone from there would like to come as well.
-
I'll hopefully be able to go. Like a few others here my mot is due in November. Maybe I should go this weekend to make sure i recover the parts I left after my last visit. :-\
-
Definately up for that ....... as long as it doesn't clash with the next Argyle Forest drive ;D
-
Can we get a bulk deal on MOT's? As the 110 too will be around then :-\
-
Have you checked the site is available??
i have the number if you need it.
Cheers Bill
-
Bill I dont think he has... Can you either pass on the number or make the call? probs best if u call... they know you :P
-
I'll put it in the diary...but again, it depends on my fixing the motor. No way is SWMBO going to let me loose out there with the P38 !

If you're scared of her then her chain tieing her to the kitchen is too long.. try adjusting length until desired control is achieved ;)

Travelling from Ayr.
Make your way to Galston, Hurlford.
Pick up the A71 for Strathaven.
About 2 miles or so past Louden Hill, Louden tavern, Sand Quarry you will come to the entrance to the Village of Drumclog on the RHS.
Turn down here and follow all the way to the unmarked cross roads. Go straight through and as you come to house on RHS, take road to the left and the entrance to the 4x4 land is directly ahead.
-
Would it be ok for another newbie to come along to?
-
Everybody is welcome .
i will be confirming names the week before. but for the definates pm me your details.
cheers Bill
-
Thanks Bill for picking up the Chalice to arranging the event. By the looks of it, it's going to be a full fun packed day ;D
Better save up the tokens for tesco car wash :D
-
Ok guys just over two weeks to go
how are the vehicles progressing ?? mots and etc
of coarse i only ask as mine has passed :P
Gene will your new motor be attending??
Cheers Bill
-
Tyres done, All booked to come & play
-
I've suffered a financial setback... ?450 to be precise to fix the focus... Dont think my vehicle will be ready... don't suppose anyone has a spare seat? :)
I'm in the east of Glasgow (bottom of M80) if anyone if offering :)
-
Probably, but maybe in the back if that would be ok. Can confirm later on
-
Hey Thomas
Got back seat free, up for a re-run of last time :D
Sorry Navigator has taken front

Hi guys
Roof rack is also suitable... I'm not fussy :)

With a wee bit of luck it will be peeing down so you get a good soaking ;D ;D ;D
Only Kiddin ;)
-
So what time are we meeting, 10 o clock again? Gives us plenty of time to watch Ross dismantling his car again ;D ;D Who is going?
-
meeting at 9.30 for 10 oclock start. meet at first clearing on left after cottage on approach road.
?20 pay and play.
Embarrasing as this is i may need a lift. Anybody from the Alloa area with a spare seat??
Cheers Bill
-
10am would be a good time to start.
For those who do start then, a pause in activities at 11am would be appropriate - perhaps a group gathering on the top of the hill?
-
Very appropriate, well said Stuart !
-

That made me chuckle :)
Like Bill I may also be a passenger if someone has a spare seat as the jeep has no mot. That said I'll probably trundle round in the surf but avoid the serious bit's like the woods and that way SWMBO may be happy!
All the best
Ross

OK guys looks like a good crew for tomorrow.
As it stands landie is still in bits, looks like a landie but no brakes or clutch so its a no go im afraid.
So i have cadged a lift with doug. Can anyone spare a seat for my son as we have been going hammer and tong to get the old bus ready with the promise i would take him.
I will bring the wifes car to the site so its only a spare seat for the site we would need.
Sorry to leave it so late but we genuinly thought the car would be sorted.
If a seat is available could you let me now as i dont want to take him and cant get a seat
Thanks in advance Bill
-
Bill
It was touch and go today, but I've got the lightweight ready to trailer down in the morning. It's only got two seats though and the passenger one's taken. I'm sure someone should be able to help out.

20 mins at the jet wash, lots of newspapers in the footwells! It looked clean when I arrived home lol Still kicking myself for not looking where I was going but the real bummer is my flask has spilt on the video camera and all my footage is now lost. Cameras knackered :(
Really enjoyed myself though and at least I made it further than the gate this time!
All the best
Ross

Hope to see you all again soon.

Well
I'm chuffed to say new lightweight stood up to the punishment. Thought it was going to get drowned at one point in the river and it took some punishment in the woods.
Pity the same can't be said about me - am aching all over, and have hurt my arm/shoulder when the steering spun out on a rock. Also the lights packed in on the Defender, knocking the trailer lightgs out - so had to do a bit of swift re-wiring on the hardshoulder of the M74 just past Hamilton Services at 5 o clock (not the best experience).
Excellent site though and enjoyed every minute of it

Sorry for taking you down that river... Dave T's directions wern't very good...

Got a crick in my neck trying to read those sideway shots but liked the piggy back off roading ;)
Didn't get round to editing photo's, too knackerd. Left the lights on last night so landy batt is flat and staying brown for another day.
Got some videos which needed doctoring before youtube. River driver great fun but camera woman not terribly stable.
-
oops lol :(
-
I found my way down ok, if you couldn't keep up ........
It was the way back when it was lapping round the windows and stuck on the log that I was getting a little worried :'( :'(
