TOR letter of the month

[PC-Surf]

Good on you GWH! I'm a bobby in the North of the Island and I can't abide arsols like that! Unfortunately the general public usually only hear and see these idiots! Giving the rest of us a bad name!
I was doing some lane repair with the 4x4 club over here at the weekend and the farmer came up in his fourtrack thinking we were poachers or Rsoles like those guys above. When he got up to us he was really happy to find us all digging out culverts to try and save the lane in question that we were on which was on/next to his land.

What is TOR by the way??

Any more pics of your trip? Looks like a good lane!

when we happened upon them,there was a cherokee on its side and a daihatsu behind it,also on its side.the guy in the daihatsu said that he had tried to go round the cherokee,which had tipped over, and rolled itself.they had done this at 8pm the previous evening,the time now was about midday,they had left their cars as they were unable to recover them.
we all thought it odd how the cherokee had rolled,we could understand that the daihatsu had, as it had tried to drive round on a real slanted bit of ground.
the only thing we could surmise was that the cherokee was being "offroaded" and the tw#t driver had rolled it.
we had two choices go round or reverse .the reverse would have been dangerous, but the go around even more so as the track was reasonably level, but either side ws at about 30-40 degrees,and we all stood the chance of tipping.
eventually blackpoolsparks managed to get up on the incline with the lovely boyo and after i winched the cherokee forward (on its side...it struggled a bit) we used a surf/landcruiser ground anchor to do a snatch pull and right the jeep..did basically the same for the daihatsu.
if we could have got past we would have left them there.....we nearly pushed them right down into the river,but the owners turned up, all very embarrased.it sounds as if these plebs were the same ones who had ripped the strata up beforehand...they need to be taken off the road.
both were on bald road tyres, one had no tax,and both were unroadworthy.

I bet youve been dyeing Graham to tell somone bout how you used yur new winch..

Gra, when you send the info to the old Bill, give them the pics too. Lets hope we can get their dangerous wrecks crushed before they do themselves or others some injury.

I couldn't believe it when the arse with the Daihatsu said he'd driven it on the road to get there! It had no exhaust, at least one broken spring, a very dodgy looking botched sus lift and no tax.

If its them who've torn it all up off piste as the writer to TOR says, they need the book thrown at them.

I still don't believe it's actually wired up yet!

[blackpoolsparks]

Yea, but how close were we to rolling that thing down the hill???
30 maybe 45 seconds away

shhh...it was like a miracle...i attached the cable ...and it worked !!!

i was just happy the bumper mounts stayed put.

i do belive that that was so dude !!

the guy started to give me static about wrecking his cherokee,till i told him to fark off.i said i would push the f####ng thing down the hill !!

[Growler]

Anyone who was at 'River Deep' recognise the vehicle they're talking about? Seems like those ######s with the Jeep and Daihatsu had been there before annoying others too.

Haven't seen the letter yet but it sounds very much like a letter in the current LRO mag i was just reading.

[mud skipper]

to me they look as tho they have been planted there by some body that wants the lane closed.
having just read TOR that could well be true, as there are somany people who want us to have no where to drive green lane wise

[blackpoolsparks]

thats EXACTLY what we thought, till they turned up 30 seconds before we rolled them down the hill.

[darkdezigns]

show the letter?

[Apache]

I wonder what the outcome would have been if there'd only been 2 or 3 of us...

I have no doubt they'd not have been quite so compliant with our methods.
