Hey up mate, I may have seen you about 12ish, Id been round for a few hours then it got mega busy!! Ended up spending the last hour there recovering people who either had road tires on or jut frankly ran out of ground clearance :P

My mate in his 90 became the recovery truck! I got a stuck Pajero out with a Jimny but my clutch did not like it :angry:. Defo going to get a winch instead for self recovery and helping others.

Did you see the orange V8 Landrover Jimny?? :blink:



helping us to pull my mates 90



which in turn was trying to pull this out



it was mega stuck, we had to leave in the end having tried ragging it out and using a 12,000lbs winch challenge spec winch. Unfortunately we could not get the angle to pull it out correctly so had to leave the poor guy.

More pics of the Jimny, although thats a bit of a lie (ok a MASSIVE lie) it was a V8 Landrover with a jimny body on! :whistle:

That sounds about right as he said he had owned it for only a few weeks.

If its an ally fairlead without the rollers then yes please !! :woohoo:

ahh could be the same one then

no the fairlead is a roller type i dont have the money for plasma rope so has to be steel cable and rollers :)

no havent seen that place mite have to check it out

winch went on no probs need some crimps before i can finish the wiring , but £220 for a 12000lb winch carnt be sniffed at
they have had outstanding reviews on the landy sites too
