SLROC Forum

Thats me just got my membership card in, so Im looking forward to meeting everyone at my first club event.
I live in South Lanarkshire and am the proud owner of a Defender 90 CSW XS 2006 (grey). This is my main car (I dont count the wifes Corsa!!) which I use for everyday use and my main focus in the club will be the Green Road Runs......
So looking forward to my first GRR and if anyone see`s me about give me a wave

Welcome to the club.

Nice looking 90!

Hi mate! Welcome to SLROC

If you are interested there is a fording day on Saturday, you are ideally placed for it as well being in Sounth Lanarkshire!! Have a look in "Non SLROC Events".

cheers

Welcome, nice looking machine - Where's the mud
See you at a GRR or maybe a driving day

Hello and welcome. Nice 90.

Hi and welcome to the club,nice motor Lokk forward to meeting you at an event soon.

Remember if you need anything from club shop contact me.

Regards John

hello welcome to the club the green road runs are brilliant nice looking landy

Thanks for the welcome guys, hopefully I will manage the GRR at the end of this month, is that one a good route?

welcome, thats a cracking motor. mind you would look better with some mud on it.....theres a tyro on sunday and i think your motors crying out to try it

Hello and welcome

Where is the Tyro being held, cant seem to find any details of it......what exactly is involved in it.......will my "shiny" be ok, no damage risk.

believe its in dunbar (any clarification on this?) tyro is non damaging, ideal for factory fresh motors. i tyro-d my 2005 freelander within a few weeks of buying it. it was less than 3 years old when i bought it. didnt damage a freebie on it so a 90 is safe. a good session with a jet wash afterwards is all that should be needed.
tyros are laid out to avoid damage, even paintwork should be safe from scratches

basicaly its work your way through a course marked by canes. you mustnt stop or hit a cane. the further you get clear the lower your score. lowest score wins. its listed as a competition but theres not many take it seriously, its purely fun. ive done it for over 2 years now...dont think ive ever ended in single figures lol

sounds good for a novice like me.....dont know if I can manage this weekend though, hopefully soon.

its ideal for all abilities. as everyone first walks the section then everyone drives the same section its unlikely that you would find something damaging. i know when i tyro-d freebie (obviously lack of underbody clearance) if there was any chance of something damaging my motor it was pointed out to me before we started. if theres anything that your concerned about then speak up, andy doesnt want any motors damaged.

however with experience you will be surprised how much your motor will shrug off. i remember a driver with a rather strong attachment to her motor being concerned about a section. we watched another motor drive the same section and although the ground looked like it would shake the motor to bits, the motor just brushed it off, barely noticed the ditches. if you dont want to be first on a section then say. if you have any concerns then say. theres no presure

ps; if/when you do get stuck you will be expected to pose for photos before being pulled out

Alan,
Welcome to the club / forum.

Dont worry about the tyro's,I do them.  I have a shiny and tend to be very careful with it so much so that some cheeky chap was taking pictures of it because I had a splash of mud on it, smart a**e.(you know who you are )

Try and keep boxing day clear we have a really good driving competition then.
If you have any questions you can always drop someone a PM, we are a very helpful bunch.
